Morning all

Just replying to PMs - more woolly squares are on their way
Go little squares go!!

I have finished and will go to the post office this morning to send them x

Morning

Off to work shortly - rather busy at the moment so apologies for not being around so much. Will check in later.

Have just caught up with this thread

Glad I didn't read it on Mother's Day, otherwise that would have set me off big time.

Hooray I have finished! Managed to get 4 squares out of my wool. Thanks again to my lovely wool donor

I just hope my squares look okay am worried about letting the team down.

Pistey did you get my PM? I am ready to post, just need the address.

Sneaking on in a sneaky fashion to say AllTheSevens - I hadn't had a PM which is a worry, but I've sent you the address.

At unreliable PMs again

Unreliable PM system that is!

If anyone else hasn't heard and has sent a PM today they could post on here? I've replied to all those I've received.

Gotta dash......

Following on from the frogging ... if you just need to knit backwards a bit - rather than taking out your needles and actually frogging - then that is called tinking... because tink is knit spelled backwards.

Oh. I always call it backing ,as in " I had to back 3 rows "

I like tinking better.

2 squares in the post 1st class. X

Can someone tell me how to knit backwards to correct mistakes?

When I make one, because I'm a perfectionist, I usually do the frogging thing and cry a bit and throw it accross the room and drink wine

:(

A few good explanations here, Rosie. You can also thread a piece of yarn through the row before the mistake to make it easy to pull it back just to there, if that makes sense - I've forgotten what this is called but someone will know!

Is called a life line, but hardly worth it for a 6" square

Oh I didn't know about a life line .< goes off to google it> It could be a useful thing to know.

I can certainly do frogging.

Tinking is waaaaaaaaaaaaaay beyond me.

When I go wrong I usually have to just restart, unless of course I just send it to Knots with a safety pin holding it together

I'm hoping the PM problem this morning was a one off, but I guess we will probably never know.

I do have PMs now, I shall away to my inbox

All messages replied to, even more woolly wool is on the move!

Not like this obviously...

But gorgeoise squares with the lovely posties

Thank you Tribpot. Recently I noticed a mistake far below in my knitting in a scarf I had made (my first ever finished knitted thing).

Instead of having a tantrum, I made a knitted flower thing and sewed it on top of the error.

Resourceful me. although it looked a bit silly

The life-line and tinking sound good. As does sending it to Knotty.

Pitsey n Knotty - 2 x not very competent squares will be posted on Monday. Possibly on Saturday.

I've had woolly tantrums before, and they ain't pretty!

And well done you Rosie

They will be gorgeoise

I've been tinking today, on circular needles. Had to stop when my brain went on strike.

Evening

Today's parcels of loveliness from:

Pleiades lovely squares in a deep blue

PippiL the feet are very sweet and I will make them fit, worry not

DancingShoes huge pile of fabulous woolly skill

WoollyIdeas gorgeous squares. Now... talk me through the thinking behind this Dalek square

Many thanks.

I'm glad you commented on the colour, I thought it was lovely but couldn't decide if it was a blue or a purple

Pidjin, thanks for the information. Are you instructions easy? I have just started to revive my childhood crochet skills. I know the basic stitches.

I don't know! I told you it was a bit random...

Glad they arrived safely. x

Random.... oh yes

A snuggly Dalek

Fabulous oxymoron!
