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.

If you can get on it, it is a good site, and with lovely patterns, or failing that, I can email them to you if you PM me your addy, I've downloaded quite a few, just let me know what you're looking for.

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!

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.

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.
So, at the weekend, because of the weather here, I'll have to go to another town and see if I can get it at an independant newsagent.
What a botheration.

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 am looking forward to practising, it's ages since I crocheted. O.h. moans about the needles clicking when I knit!

He thinks he is on the gallows, Liz?

Huia.

Ah, maybe it's a reminder of a past life, or the end of it, Huia lol

Teresa, thanks for the patterns, am now spoilt for choice!

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.

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.
I met an elderly couple in T***co in a town in the other direction yesterday, and the lady was looking in there for a copy. So I told here where I had got my copy from.
Seems abit silly and futile to go to all the trouble and expense of advertising on national television, if it is not available everywhere.
Just my thoughts.
