  • Thanks plum,
    I'd put my photo on my makes page on pintrest and just clicked copy the link and pasted it to here. That's the only way I know how to do it on an iPad. Sorry I'm not very techy
    .

    Thanks Mrs M, I am registered with Pinterest but have always just pinned things I would like to do. So, I shall see how to have a "makes page".

    I have found an online shop that will sell 3 pairs of bamboo needles for just over a fiver. Going to order the 4.5mm set and also a spare pair of the 3.25 and 4mm as I use these most. I am just going to finish sorting my patterns, finished 3 folders yesterday and one more to do today. As I can't do lots of moss stitch or rib throughout a garment ( 'cos of shoulder) I'm getting rid of those patterns.

    Happy knitting xx

    Beautiful work Mrs MP!

    I'm almost finished the frontless newborn cardigan, annoyingly can't find my 2.75mm circular needle so have to wait for the postman to arrive to finish it off :mad:

    I have a vintage romper to finish off ( needs 2 sleeves, collar and leg cuffs) so maybe I will pick that up tonight.

    Once finished the next of my list of new projects is this :

  • Hi everyone, I have finished the waistcoat for dgd but not sewn it up yet. The yarn is very soft and it has cables so will need to be blocked first. I hate faffing about with this but it's got to be done 😳.
    I have managed to save some of my photos to Pinterest but can't figure out how to link to this post. I have an app for Pinterest. I'd appreciate if anyone could explain to me how to link photo.

    Happy knitting xx
    PS Mary, your fingerless gloves and top are great

    Plum I don't have an app but I click on a photo on pintrest then click copy and come over here and click paste. That works for me. HTH

    Sewn a little prem hat and the one I'm putting in a shoebox at Christmas it fits about a 1 year old as DGS is a big 10 months and his fits fine.

    Sorted all my knitting needles out, I've a load of spares to donate to the local CS.
