Is anyone having difficulty in getting Part 2 of this publication. I had difficulty enough getting Part 1, and OH had to go to another town a few miles away to get it. All News outlets in my town did not have it. |

You're welcome Jean, they are lovely aren't they? I've already made the sunflowers throw, and it looks every bit as good as the picture. |

I was lucky as I was able to persuade o.h. to call at an open all hours shop on his way home from work and he got my copy of No 1. I too thought I might get a second copy to get the extra yarn, the special offer is quite good, if you sign up to pay by direct debit, and order quickly you get several issues for about £12 and maybe plus £1.99 and you get the 3rd issue free as well as all sorts of knitting backs and needle holders etc. By then I would have several balls of yarn and several patterns and the binder for them and could then cancel if I didn't want to continue, as the full price will be £2.99. |

I have, as yet, been unable to get my copy of this. Tesco is now the main retailer of papers and magazines in this town. OH asked in there this morning, of the lady filling up the shelves, and she said that despite numerous requests for this publication, they were not stocking it. |

Jean, if you're using Internet Explorer, just click on 'Tools' and it should come up in the menu, and you'll see if you have it and if it's turned on or off. |

Teresa, no permanent damage was done, so dont worry about it. Not sure if I have a pop-up blocker and dont know where to look to find out. Is it windows security centre. Thanks for the offer but am only looking for inspiration, nothing in particular, will come back to you if I ever succeed in making up my mind. I think I am crackingup, only got OH to drive me to town for an appointment only to find them shut. Because when I got home and checked I had thought it was Tuesday, not Monday! |

Aww I'm sorry about that Jean. Do you have a pop-up blocker, it might be the pop-ups causing problems. I'm guessing as I had no problem and I have a pop-up blocker on. |

Rita, I think you mean Snoods. Like a thick hairnet. You can crochet a useful carrier bag which folds up small and goes in your handbag. |

I tried the website freecrochet.com, and it gave me trouble from the start. It directed me to a list of different sites to do with crochet, and I was unable to find anything to do with patterns. Not only that but it took over my computer and wouldnt close, eveything I clicked on came up with the same thing. In the end I had to shut the computer down until this morning. |

Oooo that brings back some memories. I remember holding various jumper parts while my gran unravelled them and skeined the wool to wash. She used to knit lots of stuff for the church 'sale of work', blankets, bed-jackets, cardigans (unless it was green, then she'd keep it), gloves, hats, socks, bedsock, you name it, she knitted it. |

Rita, I have done that all my life, and I have a blanket made up of six-sided squares which are put together to make a flower shape. Cant use it now because of cats on the bed! but it wont get thrown away. I have door mats cross stitched with rewound wool, doubled, and a pram blanket which I made 50yrs ago out of a jumper and hat that I got too large for. Do you remeber those woolen hats, done with a tail which came over your shoulder? |

Tereza W ,yes I had a look at some of the things on the site you told me about, but didn't have time to look at them all. When I get the washer on in the morning, and have time to sit down, I will look for the work you are doing. Abit busy at the mo. cooking the Christmas dinner we didn't get on the big day, but many thanks again |
