Me? I've been sat in the current heatwave WEARING fingerless gloves! The airconditioning at work blows directly onto my keyboard, so my hands are blue with cold even in this heat."Be the type of woman that when you get out of bed in the morning, the devil says 'Oh crap. She's up.'
It ain’t what you do, it’s the way that you do it - that’s what gets results!

I used James C Brett Twinkle DK in dusky rose from abakhans in Manchester and some random white DK wool I had in my wool bag. The bottom glove uses Twinkle DK again but in dark teal.

Someone today told me about this pattern that was in the Radio Times - knit your own Usain Bolt. They have been publishing it gradually on the website but I think today the full pattern is up?

As an aside, does anyone know how I can put it into my library on Ravelry or if there is a notebook facility on there to save the link. Or will have have to set a new project up and then link it from there?Ditch 100 in January Challenge 100/100

Knit your own Usain Bolt? Pure genius!
To answer your second question, how about adding it to your queue?you may even be able to find a listing on there for the pattern. If not, there doesn't seem to be a limit to how much text you can put in the notes section (I copied the text of a public-domain pattern into the notes section yesterday)."Be the type of woman that when you get out of bed in the morning, the devil says 'Oh crap.

I'm knitting cushion covers alongside the preemie stuff.
Dying to get going on some jumpers for my grandson, but waiting for up to date measurements from my daughter.
I have 4ply cotton, DK and chunky, so the challenge will be to find patterns I like. Since doing top down raglans, I don't fancy going back to sewing up
May try bottom up in the round.Jack of all trades ... Master of none 0 -

Had a look but couldn't find it directly on Ravelry and wasn't sure if there was a way to link to an external pattern. It never even crossed my mind just to copy and paste the pattern so thank you I will do that, otherwise all that will happen is that the copy I printed off will end up in the back of my file and I will forget about it.Ditch 100 in January Challenge 100/100
