Previous thread is HERE

Happy New Year Phalanx and, indeed, all of Mumsnet!!

We've had the wedding. We've had Christmas. Or, as I refer to it: THE MOST AMAZING CHRISTMAS EVER.

Now it's onward one day at a time.

There will be planning of the wake so it's going to be THE MOST AMAZING PARTY THREAD EVER.

If you've not joined us yet, please do so now.

Yes it does Unborn, cheers!

Lin!!

I'm mortified! What kinda lazy hooker lets her tools of the trade go rusty??????

Oh don't apologise Unborn, thanks for linking!

(I just saw her on that thread so thought to ask.
But the mentioning of rusty instruments make me doubt her competence!
😉😂)

Zing look in your inbox, Knotty & Pistey will have messaged you about Candy's Hugs.

I wish I could do something more useful. I saw on t'other thread Fid taught her daughter. Think I'm going to see if DD1 would like to give a couple I go.

My mam (so her gran) had cancer last year so she would be interested.

Would you say 12 was old enough to learn Zing? She loves craft stuff and is fairly talented.

Unborn - my DM taught me to knit when I was about 10. However, I have tried to teach my DD , with no success . She has started to crotchet though ( at 35! ) and doing well . Its wanting to do it that is what matters most :)

Fool that I am I told FidGirl about this (she is v fond of Z) and she's been poking me with needles since. She was 9 when I taught her, 14 now.

I have been googling madly and following MN links.

Bless her Fid you just do what your told

That's really encouraging book (you not your DD)

I'll give it a try, there may be advice hand holding needed.

Its like riding a bike Fiderer honest!

Only joking Zing, I have lots of tools !!

Allalone

I asked for link for others, coz I can't link on phone! (
LMAO, it wasn't for me, bless you!
I've got 3 notices so far, FB page, PM & Yarnie link. I'm everywhere😂
Cheers though sweetie! Mwah

I'm on the FB post, it's weird thinking of fellow mumsnetters as real actual people.

Love love love the Woolly Hugs / Candy's Hugs idea. Knotty and Pistey are so amazing and Zombie so are you.

DD2 has turned into quite the little crocheter. I think my mum taught her the basics a couple of years ago and she has just been going for it since then. Her teacher (well, his wife) had a baby recently and she crocheted a baby blanket for them! more of a scarf really but who cares

I might get her to re-teach me and then learn how to do maple leaf squares or something. That would be fun. Off to find YouTube tutorials!

Delurking, as I have resolved to no longer be too shy to post regularly on an anonymous forum!

Zombie , you're amazing and so is the WH blanket project in your honour.

Think I've found the needles, just got to get some wool! I might make a woolly hug dress lol!

BathsLad will also be sober if he's invited, he doesn't like the taste either.

I wonder if BathsLad would like to wear a fascinator?

Unborn I'm not a real actual person!

Love the idea of Candy's Hugs! Shall get knitting for it ASAP, the chosen colours are gorgeous.

I might do some knitting too. Woolly Hugs are a marvellous initiative and Candy's hugs a perfect development of the theme. MNet at its best.

I've ordered wool and thanks to Knotty have had it sent to someone who can knit/crochet, i.e. not me... Hopefully she'll have fun. If she was close enough I'd make tea and provide biscuits to keep her going

Ooooh! I have just had a pm from Knotty to say wool from a donor is on its way ! Will I know who has donated?

FidGirl 's been poking me with needles all day. Wretch of a child. Should have said nothing. Or taught her how to knit.

Knotty/Pistey are sending wool over to me here in Forrin

Bath vampire?

I don't drink either so Bathslad is in good company.

I have donated although I feel like that's the lazy option. It's lovely to see how many people care about zombie.

I've donated money for wool as I can't knit!

Unborn I'm just a figment of your imagination!

Woolly Hugs is just fabulous, just thinking about everything they've done brings tears to my eyes.

This is a typically perfect development for them and Zombie.

Pistey was actually the first MNetter I spoke to at my first meet up. Aw!
