Special times, I am sorry it has been so challenging to get started. I feel for you having to change crafts too, with the RSI. I have ripped ligaments around my thumb and sewing, using scissors and many other things are painful for me right now. I am having to diversify my crafting outlet too. I like the bright colours...good luck with it all. x<br />growMamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15060082026199258862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3078877172139600813.post-83004597612900126422014-07-13T10:28:18.054+12:002014-07-13T10:28:18.054+12:00*Gallivanta, I nearly gave up!

All that's needed is a bit of plain English and the steps to be numbered in the right order. Did you finish Ezra's blanket, even so? You must post a picture of it. Today the sun is shining and anything seems possible.<br /><br />* Charlie, knitting was much more soothing than this project. It always has that magical element to it, just as you describe.<br /><br />Thank you Gallivanta, Penny and Charlie.

I used to do a lot of knitting in my nursing days and I loved it. I found it stress-relieving and comforting and it was always such a joy to see a garment coming into being from all those balls of wool. This 'kit' job sounds like a nightmare. How frustrating! I'm so pleased it's now working out. Your granddaughter is gorgeous and I'm glad she's the glue that's holding this project together.

He was fit to be tied for it was the instructions,with the most important step buried deep in the print, that made it such a chore. The times we live in, I'm sorry to say. <br /><br />I love the little one's tent and her sweet way of looking at things. What a dear child. Once the sheep have taken over, I'm sure the quilt will start to fill in. It's funny, but, I had a similar challenge with Ezra's blanket. Somehow, the crocheting just didn't go right. The same pattern I'd used for Kezzie, but, just wasn't working. <br /><br />Raining here, too, this morning; rather heavy downpours. Hope your rain passes soon.Penny O'Neillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14665025558373015362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3078877172139600813.post-76658890973376753072014-07-12T20:06:16.271+12:002014-07-12T20:06:16.271+12:00I am admiring your perseverance!
