I'm sure there will be a bit of an overlap.

I am OK unless I drop a stitch and then I am really in trouble! It's probably just as well, then, that I am too late to knit any little hats. They certainly wouldn't have been anywhere near as good as yours!Mean Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07829239249872290230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3573997081449536840.post-89558094750613283392008-10-20T20:45:00.000+01:002008-10-20T20:45:00.000+01:00What a fabulous effort!

I was thrilled and it all went to the Coalition for Pulmonary Fibrosis.<BR/>Knitters, next time anyone asks you if you can donate anything - yes, you can!Expat mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17798190669591053390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3573997081449536840.post-15853886856143794222008-10-20T15:23:00.000+01:002008-10-20T15:23:00.000+01:00Maggie, thanks for visting my post!

I've never been able to master using four needles or the circular type. Not coordinated enough there I guess. Right now, I'm on a major embroidery kick but once I get through this phase and as winter sets in, I'm hoping to put a dent in my yarn and fabric stash I have here. It would take a lot of projects to make a dent in either of those two stashes too, trust me! Probably could work on lowering the level for several years before any progress would be noticed! LOL I'm still trying to make heads or tails out of my reader/feed issues too. Biggest problem I have is trying to understand the instructions on the "help" forums. I need an interpreter to do that!Jenihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16425701332785470116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3573997081449536840.post-31646416212264872662008-10-20T07:43:00.000+01:002008-10-20T07:43:00.000+01:00I have never learnt to knit (shameful I know) But ...I have never learnt to knit (shameful I know) But one hat in an hour, that's amazing! <BR/>It would be lovely to see all those beautiful hats placed on beautiful baby heads wouldn't it?Suburbiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05352465945711496612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3573997081449536840.post-13861891000173627902008-10-20T06:29:00.000+01:002008-10-20T06:29:00.000+01:00Oh Maggie - thank you so much for that.
