    Well done Orkney :j

    I took a dozen cardigans and hats into my local hospital last week, and had a lovely letter back.

    Just finished this for my tractor mad grandson

    Thanks. I had hoped to do more, but DS not back to school yet and didn't have much time to do charity things. Well done you too :).

    All the knits look fab, I knit baby hats, usually whatever size they end up and my mum takes them to work (Shes works on the maternity ward) but they all get used!

    Currently knitting a baby shawl, nearly finished the body of it, then too start on the borders! Seems to be taken forever then to finish my cardigan for Autumn.


    Just wish I had more time to knit! EH xx

    Cuddles I think I have that mag at home - I'll check tonight and will be happy to scan it and email it to you if you like.


    I have been searching for this stupid Muffin the Mule knitting pattern to make as a gift for my mom who is obsessed with horses and anything similar. All auctions are over $100.00, and the mule pattern and magazine is out of print!

    I have so many other patterns I can scan and send to you, all wonderful RARE Alan Dart patterns. Please let me know if you can! :)

    Sorry PurpleNTeal, I'm a bit confused. Are you looking for the Alan Dart Advent Tree pattern?
    There is a donkey pattern included.

    There's an Alan Dart Muffin the Mule pattern on Ebay at the moment- sorry to say it's £16.99 + £1.95 postage- gulp! Better than $100 though!
    Hope someone has a scan they can send you!
