knit they're fab! I aspire to sock knitting..
I mostly knit baby things - started last year whilst preg with dd. I've just finished this pram blanket with a hat (needs blocking), & deciding on what to make for twin girls..

I tried crocheting some baby booties once.. They actually looked like a booty but on an incredibly small scale haha! Knitting comes more naturally.. Funny how a lot of people seem to excel at one more than the other (although there are always exceptions!)

I love crochet and took it up when i was pregnant with dd1, at the moment i'm also into sewing with my sewing machine :)

Congrats to knit, lady and t'other lady who we don't know!

Aw, Bozzer, would you really have come to Chorley to hunt us down? That would've been ace! Grin

I have every symptom under the sun...pointing to AF. I am 9 or 10dpo (depending on who you believe) and couldn't temp this morning due to being up all night on and off with poor baby. I have no doubts whatsoever that I am not pregnant; I even have the tell-tale zits at either side of my mouth underneath.

PurdeyBirdie · 19/02/2015 11:29

Knit and Winter, you are amazingly talented. Beautiful stuff.

juneybean · 19/02/2015 11:31

Morning all!

Here is my chart but not sure it's going to pinpoint ovulation correctly since my temperatures are all over the place! I also think I might be a mouth breather...

Congrats to the BFP!

Winter I love the colour of that blanket!

KnitFastDieWarm · 19/02/2015 11:36

I love that blanket - it looks so snuggly!

I can crochet - have made a blanket that looks like Elmer the elephant, and a big throw for my sofa, but it definitely doesn't come as naturally and I'm a much better knitter. I do think people tend to gravitate to one or the other!

ok i don't know why that photo is there twice Hmm

I poas again just now - I know! I know! and got exactly the same squint and you'll miss it line as yesterday so I won;t bother posting a pic. Just gotta wait it out....

KnitFastDieWarm · 19/02/2015 11:38

Shnicky I would love to learn to sew properly - I've not used a machine since school and it was not my forte Blush. What kind of things do you make>

Hairstylisttoboris · 19/02/2015 11:41

Wow you ladies are talented.

purdey if you hadn't shown up soon I would have popped up the road, only 4 hours drive. I'd have started looking for you by stalking your GP. Simples really.

WinterBabyof89 · 19/02/2015 11:48

Those are adorable! I rarely but patterns on line & source freebies where possible, but a cute pattern that I can use again & again is worth it! I really love the green cardi..

juney I have no idea if they'll like it but I think it's a nice colour too Smile

knit hope that line turns into a solid bfp!

KnitFastDieWarm · 19/02/2015 11:51

winter the green one is free...Smile

WinterBabyof89 · 19/02/2015 11:52

Well that makes me a very happy chappy! I must say, yours looks nicer in green than the pattern pic in cream Wink

KnitFastDieWarm · 19/02/2015 11:53

aww thanks! Blush

Look at the shiny new February bus Grin Morning everyone. Happy Thursday. There seem to be a lot of us expecting AF either today or in the next couple of days- fx the witches stay away!

Congratulations Lady- there is something there! Good luck with the FRER test. Also congrats to shnickyshnackers- lucky lady on DTD twice and getting pregnant :)

Loving the knitting ladies- I have never learnt to knit, but I think it sounds like immense fun. I like to get stuck into a cross-stitching project every now and again, but it's really not a skilled task!

Glad you're back purdey- the bus just wasn't the same without you.

Soooo CD28 for me. If (and it's a big if) I have a 28 day cycle, then AF is definitely imminent, but as it's my first 'real' cycle since stopping the pill in November, I really don't know when she'll show up. Had bad cramps on Tuesday night and yesterday, but nothing so far today.

Here's a curious thing I've noticed this month: ever since I can remember, I've had really dry skin. I thought it was just my skin type- having dry patches and having to moisturise all the time, but around the time I got the positive OPK two weeks ago, my skin changed completely, and was so clear. Not dryness, no need to use moisturiser- it was perfect! This week, it's gone back to being really dry and I've got the patches, just like when I was on the pill. So I think that might signal that I am due AF and not pregnant. Weird.

Just got back from my acupuncture appointment. I told him all my symptoms and he said obviously that I could be pregnant, but that he was going to treat me as if I was expecting AF, bearing in mind that I made the original appointment with him because I hadn't had a period for 2 months. I told him that all the symptoms I have point to AF, except I haven't had PMS. I'm in such a good mood this week! I don't want to cry, or kill anyone, which is unusual for me. He said that it could be down to the acupuncture masking the PMS.

Sorry for the huge post. Might go and check my knickers again now...

Nomio230 · 19/02/2015 12:27

Fx Laura. I am on knicker watch too. Had really bad cramps yesterday, but nothing today. I have been the opposite to you mood wise, I have been feeling like a right bitch all week!

I used to do cross stitch, but Annie a crochet girl.

Giddymamma · 19/02/2015 12:40

Ladies... I have been....away. .

Was very sure I was pregnant, could feel it in every bone and it struck me that it would be lovely If my next post was my Bfp.

But the sticks... The sticks kept saying no.... .

Self imposed exile for being menthol is no fun so I'm hopping back on.

Loving the flurry of bfps today / yesterday! Congratulations one and all!

Oh god. Am I an unlucky Jonah? Dont make me leave the bus again! It's dark and scary out there!

Hope the bus' littlest acrobat is doing well, and sparkly, glad you're back.

WinterBabyof89 · 19/02/2015 12:55

eskimo love a bit of cross stitch, don't put yourself down! It's time consuming stuff requiring dedication! I still have 3 on the go unfinished..

Hahaha @ giddy's post..

juneybean · 19/02/2015 12:55

Wooo two BFPs today! Fingers crossed Lady and Shnicky

All you knitters and crochet girls.. Amazing work!! I've never tried it. Looks great!

Oh wee Purds maybe you will be blessed with a surprise BFP you never know! How is little N-pup today? I hope you have a multipack of twirls in the house...!

Juney is your BFP due march then yep?

I really should be over in a March now..
I'm off to order some preseed for a weeks time because that's obviously why I didn't get my BFP last cycle, I was using conceive plus Wink
