Novice knitters and those who can help us, over here!

[OracleInaCoracle]

ok, I am a very basic knitter. I cant read patterns and can do a basic row, but want to knit a square of edgar (as Im sure lots of others do) so it was suggested on the other thread here that a thread was started for the less confident where we can collate advice and help without feeling a bit dim and where the more advanced can help us out a bit!

I am medium ancient (nearly 40), and have never had a disaster with items I have knitted due to not blocking or doing tension squares! Well apart from what I am knitting now but that is more to do with me using different wool to the one specified, the pattern saying 'knits as aran' so I am using aran but acutally the wool needs to be a bit chunky!

I might block on some things I do though, I do a lovely teddy blanket and have one on order, everything else I just knit it and sew it up! It was easy to block the squares, I just pinned them on the ironing board, but how would you do something bigger?

Pkm make sure you add your fb page to mine and we can share publicity!

Now how do I do that?! I am a bit of a facebook numptie! :o

Hi, can someone please PM me the address that I need to post knitted squares to please? I'm a bit late, I've been ill, and I want to post tomorrow, but I can't find the address.

Saggy, you have PM

PKM you have friend request and I'll try and do the rest

Ah! I wondered who you were!! :)

Right, I've put mine in the post first class today, and a pic is on my profile.

But... and I'm sooo sorry given what I've only just read above, but I didn't sew the ends in . I was in a rush, couldn't remember if we were meant to or not, had a quick go and it looked rubbish (you could see the thread from the front) so I pulled it out again. Many apologies, as if you don't have enough to do already.

I've just had a look on FB and they both look amazing.

Don't worry, minnie, you're not the first nor will you be the last

StayFrosty, get muthafluffin knitting dammit

Mine posted today!

purple....you said you were hoping to have enough wool to do a bordrr. I am happy to buy that for you and post if you like? How many balls fo you reckon you will need? Im not working this wk so can pick up tonorrow. Let me know what ypu think. Cheers. Magic

Thanks Magic - I'll see how big the blanket gets, etc then let you know [mwah]

cool. Before the weekend wou@d be great tho pls as sat last chance to shopbefore back to work.

No probs. I'm not planning on getting bigger than 5'x6', anything else will make cushion covers so I'll have a good idea in the next coupld of days.

Keep your fingers crossed work is quiet. I'm still nauseous and my temperature's all over the place! The more crochet time I get the better, from all points of view

Purple, posting my squares (finally) today , hope you get them by Monday. Thanks for your cheerful patience xxx
