As requested, a place for us to ask for help and advice from other stitchers and to show the things we make.
Over to you.:-D

Well bear 1 is done 🙂

Started on a pair of wristwarmers.

Guess it will be those/bears or a few sewn bits for the next month till I've enough stock to sell!!

Anyone got a pattern for a simple knitted heart??? Am taking part in a valentines themed swap and thought a string of knitted hearts would look great.

I may have one Hippy, but I'll have to hunt it down.

In the meantime, would either of these patterns be any good for your stall

CK - the teddies look simple enough.

Am still a relative novice @ this knitting lark - have only just sussed how to increase stitches but some of the terminology confuses me - everything has to be simple!! Like me 😉

Boo!, just got in from mucky pub 😉

well pub then did a detour & called for some chips n curry sauce, why do chips always taste better when your walking home from pub 🙂

and on a few too many hic! 😄

[chickengrandma-2008]

mmmm, sounds good.:-D

[hiddengems2010]

they was alrate CG 😄 well worth the extra walk 😄

[chickengrandma-2008]

If I make chips I usually make 'proper' ones, I'm not keen on oven chips, but even home made ones never taste as good as chippy ones do they?  I wonder why.?:|

[hiddengems2010]

I find oven chips are to dry,

prefer homemade chips or wedges 🙂

I think chippy chips are better cos we dont have to make them 😉

[chickengrandma-2008]

Perhaps that's it! 😄  Our chippy uses palm oil and hubby said he can buy a bucketful from them, (Tesco don't list it) but when he googled it, it's high in saturated fat, so we didn't bother.:-(

Did you take son out for his birthday?

[hiddengems2010]

Its CK's sons birthday,

but we did go out with my son & his g/friend 🙂

[chickengrandma-2008]

Oh sorry, I saw something on FB and I thought it was you.  You're an entirely different person on there to on here. To me you are anyway!:^O  So it was CK who said he's in his bedroom on his x-box.  I'm so easily confused you know.;\
