Yours is still the only finished strip, Mandy has finished sewing hers bar one square, Mary has given her squares to Mandy, Wendy and Claire still have theirs to do. I was looking forward to crocheting this together but I have been waiting for absolutely ages now!!<br /><br />Book? I am hoping to use some of these stitches to make a blanket with the lovely merino wool that I won. I would like to see the Tunisian crochet hook but don't worry about it as I would like to get a few anyway.<br /><br />Realistic animals? Love to see your book. The only one I have had a proper look at is the one that Mandy brought in? The dogs looked so funny!<br /><br />Circular needles? I inherited some of these but have never used them. Seen you and Kim working with them but the work is always too advanced for me and I was hoping I could use them for something simpler but different to what I normally create?<br /><br />What is Knitting for Nerds? A KAL would be great, esp if you are going to do gloves!!<br /><br />B xDinkyflowerpotshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16321856378458755304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502156177739243602.post-39551574726145523572012-05-07T19:26:58.909+01:002012-05-07T19:26:58.909+01:00So much to comment on, where to start?
Love the b...So much to comment on, where to start?<br /><br />Love the blanket, it's beautiful .... PMSL! Has anyone else sewn their strip yet or is mine the only complete one still?<br /><br />Really pleased your using that book. It satin an drawer for 20 years so I'm so pleased its now full filling it's rais endetra (completely spelt wrong!). Stop press .. I think I might hav a tunisian crochet hook ... You can have a look at I when I see you. I'm also wanting to try socks and hav nve made any. I think Wendy is keen too (with our Lidl bargain wool!) maybe we could o a KAL for that to?<br /><br /><br />I will wait and see how all these crochet stitches turn out, the look beautiful, maybe we need to do a crochet blanket next time :-) <br /><br /><br />Lastly I might be able to help with some of your wishes ..<br /><br />I have a knitted animal pattern book, will bring to nex stitch and bitch, has a really good meerkat pattern but no sure if dogs/cats will be realistic enough for you.<br /><br />Lastly, what are you wanting to do on circulars? Sounds a stupid question I know! But some people just knit what would be traditionally done on straight needles on circulars, they don't necessarily knit in the round. If its knitting in the round you could make the garment for yourself on them. There are quite a few patterns in ravely knit in the round, less sewing and you would be killing two birds with one stone.<br /><br />Bought knits for nerds last week has a lovely pattern for fingerless gloves, in fact I'm thinking of making them, we could do a KAL and help each other ou if we got stuck.Claire-Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03394515990860371432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502156177739243602.post-67575611728570452882012-04-28T20:59:49.509+01:002012-04-28T20:59:49.509+01:00The Harmony Guides are really great - you can'...The Harmony Guides are really great - you can't go wrong with them in your library.

It is a bit on the expensive side but for 365 different stitch patterns it is more than worth the money!<br />B xDinkyflowerpotshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16321856378458755304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502156177739243602.post-14750080218508225732012-04-28T15:26:09.117+01:002012-04-28T15:26:09.117+01:00Such a great post!

Have thought that a number of times this week in particular. On the Tunisian crochet front - see my post for today! Only managed the Tunisian simple stitch though so next up must be these more complex ones. Love your blanket in the making - and that desk calendar - any clues as to how to obtain one? Now that I can't quite say "I don't knit" I am looking for another project to expand the tentative beginnings that have been made. Now off to see if I can rootle out on Amazon a copy of that book in your pic! E xThomasina Tittlemousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01574272724724663796noreply@blogger.com
