Nice to see a reference too Tatting. I have tried this and made some motifs which I then sewed onto aT-shirt, but always have to find the training manual if I start anything else. |

Annina, good afternoon. managed to get out for an hour and went to Dunelm. They had not got what I was looking for, but the trip was not a total disaster. Got another hook, so now when I have printed a copy of my pattern off, I can put a bag of work into my 'Hospital bag'. Well, the hooks being small, as opposed to knitting needles, won't get tangled in me intravenous drips. |

Hazel, if you want to learn, forget knitting for a while, put it away and do something else, cross stitch or something. |

Julia, it's on the site I sent you in PM. It's the cornflower throw, but I'm doing it in browns and greens instead. |

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 |

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? |

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. |

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. |

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. |
