So happy it has made it to you Linzer Smile See how you go experimenting with it, but so glad you can crack on with your square.

MadameMessy - well done on finishing Thanks

Just off to look in my PMs Thanks

Alambil · 14/03/2012 13:36

Pistey, if I make some flowers with spare thread (that doesn't appear to be enough to hook a square together), would that be helpful? Or are shorter amounts of yarn ok for hooking together?

In other words - do ya want the spare yarn, or flowers instead? Grin

RatherBeOnThePiste · 14/03/2012 13:57

Knotty says could she have the spare yarn Lewis please Thanks

Alambil · 14/03/2012 13:58

Well then ali you are already a member of Team Heart - there are three different patterns available on our support thread :)

alibubbles · 14/03/2012 14:18

OOh err.. cut and paste didn't come out very well. Will post again shortly!

alibubbles · 14/03/2012 14:33

I think it will be okay if you ignore the 8232 & and hash sign,- how can a hash tag appear when I don't have one on my keyboard??

RatherBeOnThePiste · 14/03/2012 14:36

If I could master purl then I could do this couldn't I?

Cut and paste is weird on MN ali - I find it always inserts ?? which makes it look like I am asking random questions randomly Grin

alibubbles · 14/03/2012 14:39

This book is fab, the book people had it for a while, I only paid £10

LittleBoxes · 14/03/2012 15:07

I'm so impressed with you lot and your fancy knitting. My rather dull, workaday squares are nearly finished and I should be able to post them at the weekend. Will pm when they're finished as instructed - just thought I'd say hello so no one thought I'd stopped knitting or anything!

tribpot · 14/03/2012 15:15

alibubbles - it's an HTML thing, don't ask :)

RatherBeOnThePiste · 14/03/2012 15:18

Oi! At your "dull, workaday squares" there is no such thing! They will be glorious and gorgeoise Thanks

Remember Knotty's mantra.....

Simple squares are GOOD. Simple squares are ESSENTIAL....
