Frogged.....

that top in the last post because I wasn't too sure about the colour and I tried it on Little Miss for size...fit well,but the stitches started coming off the needle and as I'm only a beginner, couldn't for the life of me work out which needle to stick them back on to LOL.

So yesterday I started it again and this time I'm lovin' the colour combo.....green & purple,haven't tried it on Little Miss...think I'll wait 'til I'm finished this time!!!

NOT A GREAT PHOTO...



Bloody crap lighting in this house :-[

Anyone know if I'll be able to use 60mm circular needles for the sleeves or will I have to invest in some smaller ones??

Got to laugh at this photo,I was in the kitchen cooking tea earlier (what a good mummy I am) and when I walked into the front room this is what I saw....



Our very own 'KNIT 'N' NATTER' CLUB LOL

Anyone else seen any new scrapbooking releases?
I've seen a few things but these are a must for me....





Got to have those papers in kraft too!!

As for sleeves this is the method most are done with

its called magic loop basically it lets you do cylinder shapes on any sided needles its s bit fiddly but easier once you get the hang of it.
i get my needles from here http://www.p2tog.com/ourshop/cat_103536-KnitPro-Needles-Accessories.html
i splashed out at xmas and got the full set, they are interchangeable so you can swap the cable size to different size needles, you will never have to buy another needle again in theory.
Keep up the good work p.s how cute are your girls reminds me of this pic lol http://rewardingmemories.blogspot.com/2009/11/do-i-or-dont-i.html
