THE FHG SEWING THREAD :-D

[ilove2patch]

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

I've been knitting for about 45 years but mine wouldn't look as good as that!:O

[learning2me]

That sounds interesting. Could you copy me the pattern?

Have emailed to your seaside email Maggie.

It looks very cute.:-) My friend is about to become a Granny for the first time at 65! She had given up hope! lol I said I would knit a few things as I love making little peoples jumpers.:-D

The tension is a bit different but I think it will be ok.

Lovely jumper Learning 😄

A granny for the first time at 65 😮  ..... I reckon there's hope for me yet then  :^O

[ilove2patch]

Her son is 42 & her DIL is 40. It's due in June.:-)

[cat-knitter]

How exciting, they must all be thrilled :-x

[ilove2patch]

Morning all. Beautiful day here. Very springlike. Off to the pool for a splash around later.:-)

icy sleet & snow here:-(

[learning2me]

Morning

Thick fog and heavy rain here - think I'll be staying in 😉

[chickengrandma-2008]

Morning ladies.:-D  Grey and foggy here.:-(

I think I'll do beds and windows today!:_|  Can't do any sewing as I'm still waiting for some lining and stuff to arrive.  I'm stuck in one of those situations where stuff doesn't arrive, she now says she'll send it for the third time???????????????!  I ordered it on 3rd March! 😐

[hiddengems2010]

Morning 🙂

Hate that waiting for stuff to arrive, seems the more you wait the longer it takes, if you get my drift. Hope they arrive quickly well quicker CG 🙂

Hope you have a nice splash about Maggie 🙂

Off to pick G/son up from nursery 🙂

[ilove2patch]

I had a lovely splash thanks Gems.:-) Having a sandwich & off to Asda at two. My fridge is empty & more importantly so is the wine rack!!! :O.

[****merlin*****]

fridge.....wine rack.....fridge....wine rack

thinks they are the same thing in some peoples houses:^O

on a more serious note

when you make coleslaw

how much is too much when you "taste" it???

[cat-knitter]

Has no need for a wine rack in this house .... nasty horrible stuff.

Ooh coleslaw, I remember making some for the first time last year when someone on here mentioned it, it was delicious .... but haven't made any since.

Learning I'm going to try & scan that donkey pattern for you this afternoon, If I can't do it i'll copy it & pop it in the post for you.

I haven't forgotten you either huggles, I'll post your pattern & wool tomorrow.  

[learning2me]

Thanks CK - would be great if you can manage it as I will see the lady who wants it tonight.

Don't worry if you can't though.

I have been knitting small squares on the diagonal to practice increasing and decreasing in different ways. \also knitted a heart Mug Mat.

Still very foggy and nasty here 😞

[****merlin*****]

[chickengrandma-2008]

[hiddengems2010]

[*hippyfairy*]

Afternoon 🙂

Been cold here today - fog didn't lift till late afternoon. I cheated and put the heating on as I was so cold 😞

Been putting hair onto dolls this afternoon - just need to make them skirts later and they are finished and can be dropped off at the shop this week 🙂 Hurrah

[ilove2patch]

Just put my heating on too. It has been a lovely day though.:-)
