emmilou 0 Report post Posted June 28, 2009 thats like me - it's like my face goes into nervous mode and gets a weird looking grin plastered onto it i look a lot better if i don't know about it or if i'm the one behind the camera...lol!! :-) good luck with the downsizing, i think it's brilliant when we do that, i made a crocheted top for both daughters from a pattern for us ladies out of the happy hooker book (oops, i've forgotten the author's name!!), i was well chuffed with myself if i may say so myself like...hee hee!!!

anniebabes 46 Report post Posted June 28, 2009 Oh Buzy and Suzie I'm well impressed. They both look lovely - perfect for the cooler evenings. I have got the pattern but it will probably be next summer before I knit it. It looks quite intricate. Well done to both of you x Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Su2ie 116 Report post Posted June 28, 2009 Hey Emmilou, good on you for adjusting a crochet pattern for you daughters :-) Hey Annie, its not intricate at all, there's not even any increasing or decreasing, just a needle size change :cheese: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
emmilou 0 Report post Posted June 28, 2009 thanks for that susie :-) ooh, so thats how it's done, i haven't read the pattern yet but i like it when that happens cos then it feels like it's growing a lot quicker, LK had a beret pattern in when they gave the 20mm wooden needles away a year or two ago and it did the same thing, i made a lot of these for friends and family :cheese: i even blended dk yarns together to make chunkier wool :red: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Su2ie 116 Report post Posted June 28, 2009 Oooh I'd have loved that sort of pattern and needles - quick knits for Christmas pressies :cheese: I do that too with the DK wool :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
