Some cute doggies here 🐶

I just want to say thank you to everyone for your kind words and gentleness. I've literally cried far too much than is healthy but am trying to look after myself. The other cat misses her terribly.

Tell me, did the poster get a baby's cardigan pattern ok? I have one in my crochet book if it helps? Just tag me if you want the pattern

My mohair exciting purple wool has arrived so I'll open that soon.

My mega delivery is due tomorrow for my special gift to myself mosaic blanket. It think it's gonna be skulls, cats and possibly penguins. Completely barmy of course . I need to get lost in something. Gonna do some sketches up later 🤔

The CAL pics are beautiful. I love the crazy colours and mixed and surprisingly, the simplicity of @lazylinguist. I'm a bit of a crazy colour Crocheter but it's just stunning 👌

♥ To all. [/quote]
@Myshitisreal Hi there 🤗 It was me that asked for a baby cardigan pattern. I've managed to find one online but thankyou so much for offering!

How's everyone's Cal's coming along I'm so behind will have to try catch up but all the extended families have contracted covid I don't have it but feel really run down trying to do as much as I can will try getting a picture in soon. Just thought keep you all updated. I'm only quiet as I have a lot on with vulnerable family member who have covid and a two are still in ICU.

[lazylinguist]

Oh you poor thing, Mindy. Don't worry about being behind on the CAL - I expect that's the last thing on your mind atm. I'm being a bit slow with the CAL too, but I don't have your very good reasons for being behind. Look after yourself, and I hope all your family pull through and get well soon.

[FlaviaAlbiaWantsLangClegBack]

Oh Mindy go easy on yourself. I hope they get well soon.

[MindyMalik]

@lazylinguist @FlaviaAlbiaWantsLangClegBack I think it's just the stress of having lost one family member and two other in similar situation. It's such a difficult time I just want this all to be over it's nearly a year of isolating and it's becoming a very sad situation. I hope you all stay safe and so do your families.xxxx

Afternoon all. At last I've finished the first leg of my third pair of socks. I was hoping that eventually I'd manage the perfect pair without any undoing but that hasn't happened yet. This latest effort fitted perfectly round the leg but I had to frog the foot twice as it was too big. On the instep I had to decrease at intervals to get a good fit. Anyway, onwards and upwards. I will try to attach a pic. I'm a 1/3 of the way down its mate. It's the last pattern in Ann Budd's book. Just like me to pick the most complicated isn't it? This has become a new obsession.

@MindyMalik take care of yourself the CAL is not the thing to be worrying about and we’ll still be here when you can do the CAL. It’s such a long to be isolated from everyone at the best of times but when you’re having such a stressful and sad time, it’s even harder.

@ginghamtablecloths I love the colour!!

Just found this group. Am knitting this Isabell Kraemer jumper right now but not sure if the colours are just right, they seem sharper in the original. Anyway, nothing to do but plough on at this stage!

[CrochetBug]

Realised i havent been on this thread for 2 years!
I lost my knitting mojo for a while. I became diabetic last year and it affected my near sight for a while and found knitting difficult but it's all okay and back into knitting last winter.
I am knitting a blanket for my son's new flat atm
