  • Hi, I am going to try and post link to one of my recents knits.

    I thinks it's going to be really big, still figuring out how this works 😳.
    This is the set for dgs, as it's quite thick I've knitted the 18 month size so will put it by for a Xmas present.

    I've just started a pink matinee coat - this will keep me going till I receive new patterns I've ordered from eBay. I was going to knit myself something but changed my mind and knitting jumpers for both grandsons who have birthdays in June and July.

    Happy knitting xx

    Plum that is gorgeous! what beautiful work!

    Not much knitting done yesterday, Master H ended up with a trip to A&E lastnight after messing on in the bath :cool: he now has a very sore mouth and we have to go back to the dentist this morning to have his broken tooth filled. I've slept sat up with him clinging to my neck like a little monkey so my arms ache! Hoping to get some feeling back in them for my knit and knatter group tonight!

    HM I got my pattern off ravelry for the sleeping bag for free yet lots of people are selling it on eBay!

    Mary- you were very lucky as the same pattern is on Ravelry but only in English and Dutch!

    Somehow my skills wont match up to translating the pattern!

    Which language would you like it in Janb? I found alot of them in Dutch but a fair few of them had the english translations and they were readable. Happy to help translate for you if you need and I'm able :o

    Sorry- senior moment-French and Dutch!
  • Thanks Mrs M and Mary. That lilac wool was leftover from a cardigan I knitted a few years ago - actually it was the one that drove me mad recently when I ripped it right back.

    I received the 3 sets of bamboo needles today and am very happy with the quality.

    The highlight of my year is on Friday ..... SO EXCITED :rotfl:
    I'm going to the Craft Exhibition in the SECC Glasgow and I know
    ( although I don't need any) that I will buy some wool. The knee high stack of wool at the Black Sheep stall makes me feel like I've died and gone to heaven 😄😄😄.

    I'm so excited and can't wait, happy knitting xx
