Hi Betty
I won't go on face book either or the Ravelry the knitting one. Know what you mean about being retired and the time going by so quickly, I am sure the earth is speeding up, but my knitting seems to be slowing down, just finished a aran jacket for grandson and its taken me forever, just ...

is there any way of making nice neat button holes, the button hole bands I do usually have 7 sts

thanks

I always shop around, I done this last week with a t.v and its not always the big stores that do the best prices. must be the same with wool, cheaper wool but higher postage/packing.

Hi Betty

Hi (Betty )
I use the thumb method all the time, but beware you cant unpick the rib stitches once you have cast on that way, ( well I cant )

ann

Hi exiled ( sorry don't know your name )
that brings back a memory, I havn't got many needles as I seem to bend them when knitting, got most of mine from charity shops, hand me downs, and car boot sales. but my O/H borrowed one of the long ones to clear a blockage in the sink, I never let him forget ...

looks very nice, but out of my bracket as far as price goes.

Hi
have you seen some of the prices they ask for patterns on e-bay Alan Dart ones go for silly money.and some of them are just cut from mags.

ann

Hi
will have a look at what D.K.Y have as I need 2 Jean Greenhowe patterns as well I don't buy off e- bay my neighbour bought wool there and all the balls came back with different dye shade codes on them. Will steer clear of the tangerine.
Happy Knitting

Hi
can you still get Elle wool I used a lot of that last year, and I liked it , but must admit I don't do a lot of black as sewing that colour up makes my eyes boggle I thought Elle had been taken over by another company ( might be wrong ) but thats what my local wool shop told me before he closed ...

some people wouldn't mind " pot luck " mixed colours especially if they are doing toys, blankets and things like that, but if you are knitting for babies/toddlers it could be awkward.
