Are there any objections if I use the leftover wool from the Edgar and Rindercella blankets to make something for Blondes? I've got loads! Anyone with leftovers feel free to pm me about either sending it on or sending more squares :)

Yep! but if I don't get it, I can't give up the day job Sad and it might involve driving for work which, as I drive a classic beetle, isn't such a safe idea...

I am not clever enough to do my knitting for a living, I just use patterns from magazines etc!

All the squares done! I tend to use that link that has a bus on it! I like the arrowhead lace one and the basketweave one!

purplepidjin · 21/05/2011 20:05

Nah, I'll be sewing. The crochet will revert to hobby status cos I get bored doing big stuff LOL

Morning Smile

Congrats, Pidj. Keeping my fingers crossed for the 2nd job.

I'm glad all the wool is arriving: much better. My family is still here so I'll be in and out doing wholesome things today. About time, I suppose. Grin

becauseI'mworthit the coloours are lovely. I'm forwarding one ball to another knitter, but a lovely pink and green striped square is underway as I type. Well, not currently, because I'm typing and can't do both at once, but you know what I mean. I'll stop typing and get back to knitting shall I?!

AAAAAARRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH

DS has just unravelled my whole square (well it was more of a rectangle as not quite finished, but you know what I mean!!)

I have to start all over again little sod Angry Angry

blondes I'm sure having met the little toerag darling you can understand how this may have happened?!!

Anyhoo, thankfully I'm a relatively quick knitterererer, so should still meet the deadline.

mistlethrush · 23/05/2011 11:17

Now it will have had an input from him as well as you NWNH Grin

KnottyLocks · 23/05/2011 11:33

Can't beat a team effort Grin

My two have left the wool alone. They've pulled down the curtain rail instead. Happy days.

NoWayNoHow · 23/05/2011 11:37

Ah... children. A blessing to the world.

I need to be eleventy foot tall to put this damn thing back up.

Time for coffee.

purplepidjin · 23/05/2011 11:40

I've found that the handlebars of my pushbike are the most bunnyproof place, he already has a taste for bank statements I don't want him getting one for posh wool!

noway ds is not that bad Grin

NoWayNoHow · 23/05/2011 13:22

No, he's not that bad, but he is a 100cm Tasmanian Devil with very little regard for wool.
