Well done! I know that don’t have been easy, but you’re right, it’s all changed dramatically from what it was. It’s a sad state of affairs really, that such a wealth of knowledge that you have is being under-utilised and now lost to the profession. Stay with us, won’t you, and let us know what your ‘next steps’ are? Xx ask the lovely Steve if he can help you to stay on. X

Completely gorgeous! Are you taking orders for them?
-
Looking forward to seeing a pic of that on the other thread! 🥰

I don’t think that’s anything new. A decade ago, I had parents saying ‘oh, Mrs F will get them out of nappies, don’t worry’ 😳

The crochet blanket is complete, for all intents and purposes, but I do need to do some sort of pretty border, but I’ve not decided what yet - any thoughts? Granddaughter’s cable cardigan is coming along well, back and sleeves done and almost left front complete - I’ll show a pic when it’s complete. I want to get it done before 14th when they’re coming for the weekend. oh and a quick edit to add that I’ve got a crochet cushion cover on the go too, with some cotton that I got for the big blanket, but haven’t used.

Thanks everyone! Plenty to be getting on with there!

It works to ‘here we go round the mulberry bush’

Ooh FM. I’d forgotten the rusty car one. Please can you remind me of the rest? I’ve got the first two lines in my head ….

A few years out of the loop and I’ve been asked if I can remember any transport songs by the lady who runs the toddler group. I’ve remembered the obvious wheels on the bus down at the station row, row, row your boat five little men in a flying saucer bouncing up and down on a big red tractor can you think of any more, please?

I’d suggest you look at the clothes you have and decide which is the fit you like, and go by that measurement. Patterns generally say what the finished size will be, as well as the intended size.

Gluten free cuppa tea is where I found the recipe. If you do it with standard (we call it ‘muggle’ flour) you won’t need the xanthan, as that’s the binding agent that works like gluten. We decided it needed slightly more sugar to be more correct on the flavour

This is my Daughter’s dog Thelma (she’s Louise, so what else could her dog be called!) also on her Easter holidays! She’s absolutely berserk, so this was a rare moment of stillness! Cockerpoo.
-
You too. Hot cross scones here for a change.

Go for it! Get some yarn from Marriner - good range and not overly expensive - and just have a play. There’s no rush, if you start it soon then you don’t need to have it until autumn. I sometimes make a cheap one and see how I like it, then if I do, I get some more expensive yarn and do it properly. The cheap one is good for gardening or just bimbling at home, and the proper one is for better things.

I suppose it depends what’s in them. What sort of records they contain. I’d be tempted to just get one of those printing “confidential” rollers for going over addresses or anything that was sensitive. Then it could just go in the paper bin after you’ve separated the pages from the binding. Certain records need to be kept for different lengths of time of course, so you’d need to check for that.

Yes! Even my husband comments now having sat through a few series of Sewing Bee!
-
That’s fabulous. Looking really good!
-
Ooh that sounds exciting. What’s different about this pattern?
-
Cardigan for granddaughter as respite from the crochet throw - which is ALMOST THERE!! So exciting.
-
Anyone doing some knitting or crafting over the Easter break?
-
Fantastic! I bet you were thrilled that they matched! I made a cardigan for my granddaughter in self changing yarn, telling myself I wouldn’t care if the bits were very random, however, when it was ready to sew up, I realised that the sleeves, the back and one front matched really well, but the other front didn’t! I unravelled what was left of the ball until I found the start of the repeat that matched the other front, and managed to make another left front, so it all looked coherent!
-
Well k hope there are pictures of those on the Our Own Makes thread, or whatever it was called. I shall go for a hunt!
-
I was wondering about that when I saw it on the news last night. Not good.

Nice soak in the bath and fresh PJs
