The Woolly Hugs Woolly Pack is now open!

[KnottyLocks]

Our own virual pub and cosy corner to chat about all things woolly and crafty...and other random woolliness.

Is there a space where I can rest my bouncy birth ball for a bit please?

I have started mat leave for real today (as in DD has gone to nursery school so I'm all alone in peace) and I'm sitting, watching period drama and crocheting squares for DutchOma's blanket.

I can only ever manage a couple of squares because a/ I'm a crap crafter and b/ I have an inconvenient job that requires me to work far too hard so I never have very much time. I've always wanted to spend the day sitting and knitting and here I am!

There most definitely is! Happy Days :)

Just seen a plea for crafters and donors for a blanket on fb, but can't find it on here. Can someone help me please? I have recently taken up knitting and would love to contribute.

It's in chat at the moment science.

Thank you Science the thread is here

Morning .
(Morning here. Possibly o'clock for the rest of you.) Could use some of that today.

Morning Jacks

Just attempted to send a couple of pics of my year bomb. Hope it arrives ok. Thanks for the impetus to have a go, I never would have dared to do it if you hadn't laid down the gauntlet!

Loved it yegods!

I don't know how it ended up as a bag. It was intended to be a big blanket/hanging but my laptop died so I couldn't use a pattern. A few too many stitches and not enough time to redo meant it curled up around the edges, so I just went with that!

I swear the best things just happen like that

You been back? Any sweets left?!

Hope to fit in a walk today between making a rainbow birthday cake and b'day girl arriving home!

Yegods - you need to check out our Woolly Hugs Facebook page

LOL! Congrats to the winner for the fabulous statue adornment - inspired! :D
Thank you for the fun, ladies, and runner-uppership. :) (I don't want to give my MN identity away on facebook too blatantly, so won't comment, hope that will be ok.)

Thank you for the runner up yarn bomb prize! The resident chocolate hoovers have helped me eat the prize.

Thank you! Mine arrived today as well. I've come away to the sea and left it behind though.

Can anyone share a link to a good croshet pattern for a lily in/on a 6" square? I have a waterlily and lily of the valley and I meant the other kind (not cala lily). Ideally with a yellow stamen centre, then dark pink, light pink, cream edge to each of 6 petals. I am itching to get started on one and I can almost design it in my head but the size of the petals makes it a bit daunting.

Ah sorry yegods

Morning :)

Morning! No worries. I made a lily up and it turned out alright I think.

Fab

Hi trinity. How are you?

hey yego
not bad, just looking at buying some wool to keep practising

How could I be a part of making the little blankets?
