Post your progress pics!

Oh thats a shame , you must be gutted. They are really great and it must be nice to try something else.
Are they toe up or top down, only asking cos i have some sock wool now but have never knitted socks before and am not sure where to start, also did you use DPN`s or circs?

I'm too chicken to try socks

I'm just winding up my yummy kettle dyed LLS wool at the moment. Going to put Dawn's dress so one side (DK takes SO LONG to knit up!) and start a skirtie

Doesnt it!! *yaaaaawn* I have done K one pair of DK boardies (well actually they are longies...i seemed to think that he has really long legs...when infact he doesnt! ) but they took ages...Aran knits up so much quicker!

Everyone,
Okay, so I am a very poor knitter and have never crocheted in my life before so be gentle with me...

I really really want to knit some longies. I've bought wool and needles (turns out they are the wrong ones after reading posts from early today ). I have to admit though I am really really scared to do it - don't know why as I have some cheaper wool I can practise with so I have nothing to loose.

Anyway, to delay the knitting I decided I would have a go at crotchet. Having watched about a hundred videos on YouTube I made Ewan some booties (which are too small ) so then I thought I'd try a hat...



What do you think? Personally I think it needs a huge pom pom on the top but DH isn't going for that idea.

So now I've started crotched longies....


I've got some old white wool so though I would do a trim at the bottom of the legs and the waistband in that.

LOVE the hat!! Ewan is such a cutie!!
The longies are really cute! what size needles did you buy?

Oh wow! They're lovely Simone!!!
Wish I could crochet lol

Thanks hun. I got 4 and 4.5 mm but I got the 80cm ones - I'm such a numpty! I didn't even realise that would make a difference

Ewan look fantastic in the hat, the hat is great
