A Good Yarn / Re: Anyone Crochet?
« on: March 10, 2017, 07:23:19 AM »
You are not alone, Low.  I can knit but find crochet almost impossible.  I hold the hook and wool all wrong and can't tell what is a stitch. If I make a mistake, I have to undo it all.  But I'll keep trying. :wool: :wool: :wool:

That's such a good reason not to have done your BOM.  I'm going with "The  :woof: ate it" or "I left it on the :bus:."

A Good Yarn / Re: A pair of socks

Thank you for your kind comments, ladies.  They really are cosy.

Where would I keep a wool sock stash, Brenda?  I keep my fabric stash in two IKEA kallex units and I don't have room for a third.  Do you think my 15 year old son would swap his big bedroom for my small craft room?  I'm sure he would be able to concentrate better on his GCSE revision in a smaller space.  I'm only thinking of him. ;)

Thanks to all those who gave me advice when we were on the lifeboat, I have a pair of socks.  The first of many, I am sure.

Nice layout, Vege, and I like the border.  (Did you make it after Imi's reminder?  In less than an hour?)

C'mon Girls...Where are you BOM's ???

THE BOM HOF is going to look pretty measly with just one creation in it for March!
This is a really simple one, so you don't need to divert too much time from the lovely Toyshop we have given you!!!

Last month, I jumped straight in and when I saw everyone else's I liked them so much that I had to make another.  This month, I'm waiting and watching.
Also, I have 2 blocks to make for my class on 20th.  I've only looked at one of them and it has 41 pieces!!  I really should make a start on that, although the BOM would be a welcome distraction  ;).

Hi BlueCat,  It's good to see you.  I hope life gets easier for you soon.  Until then, this is a very exciting place to visit. :flower: :flower: :flower: for your mum.

Publications / Re: Sewing Quarterly

I watch it on Youtube so that I can fast forward past the parts I'm not interested in.  The teacher of a monthly class that I am doing has presented a few times so I always watch when she is on.  I think it has improved since it started and they have taken on board comments that have been made, but it is too hit and miss for me to watch regularly.
I do like the fabric that I bought and the free sewing kit but do you have any idea why I bought gold ribbon?  -<

I have been to Exeter for the previous 2 years and don't find the shopping as user friendly as I would like...............decisions,decisions  -<
What is the problem with the shopping, Low?  We used to live in Devon and plan to move back when I retire... or win the lottery.
