Try www.ravelry.com

You can search by pattern type or yarn type, and most patterns have pictures. If you like a pattern, you can click on Projects and see what others have made, look at their pictures and read their pattern notes.

You can also log all your stash (and which sucky bag it is stored in) I know, I spend a whole Sunday logging all mine!

Far too much yarn, far too little time! Very admirable you got it all done. And of course some of us might not want to admit the extent of our stashes!

Finished another Pimpelliese shawl in the same yarn as my Refresher Socks



Currently knitting an Aran cushion cover as a gift. Great fun and knits up quickly.

Lovely shawl Cuddles - not sure I am up tpo that, but am interested in your Aran cushion cover. Do you have a pattern, or link to one, I would love to make one......knitting very much on the back burner (massive wool stash behind the sofa!!!!) but I can see it appearing above the back - yikes:eek:

Thank you. The shawl is easier than it looks. Just garter stitch with a knitted edging.

Lots of Aran cushion covers on https://www.ravelry.com but this is the one I'm doing

Just finished the front and about to start the back.:cool:

And 348 pages later, here I am! I knew I should've taken up crochet - there're only 102 pages in that thread...

I started my first hat at page 300 and after having frogged it twice (admittedly after only about 5 rows), I'm ready to start again tonight.

I've bought the Starksy tea cosy pattern that you did Cuddles and I'm aiming to get to that level this year

Finally finished the orange socks, good short row heel and toe practice .

Well done on ploughing through.;)

The tea cosy isn't too difficult so I'm sure you'll manage it :rotfl:

Now that really is determination
I do crochet more than knit, but it's nice to do a bit of both.
Don't forget to post pics of your makes. We love pics on here

I will, if I ever finish anything

What length of ribbon would you allow for each side of a first size (0-3 months) baby bonnet? I want enough ribbon to tie easily under a little chin but not so much that the bow is too large.
