Unfortunately, I had to undo 20 rows yesterday. It's rainbow stripes (yes, really ) and I got an orange and a yellow stripe the wrong way round - that'll teach me to pay more attention to Raymond Blanc than to me knitting... _________________ http://www.pennycottage.co.uk When I married Mr. Right, I didn't realise his first name was Always ...

Sounds intriguing... I shouldn't ask, given the length of my list, but do you have a pattern for slipper socks? _________________ http://www.pennycottage.co.uk When I married Mr. Right, I didn't realise his first name was Always ...

I really shoudn't even set foot on there!! But!!!!!!!!!!!! I got a vintage pattern! Many, many, many years ago my mum had a bedjacket that she totally adored. It basically fell to pieces and we had lost the pattern, but I just found it again yipee! and bought it! I thought I might have a go and make her one for Christmas!! The only problem is :- I need to work out the needle sizes and I was wondering if one of you clever knitting people could sticky a needle size chart somewhere in the knitting section. The pattern uses No 7, No 1 No 00 (American No 7, No13, and No 15) _________________ My Blog: http://woodlandsworld.blogspot.com/ Back to top Kathy Site Admin Joined: 15 Jun 2006 Posts: 5561 Location: Scotland Posted: Sat Oct 06, 2007 8:39 pm    Post subject: I'll do it now Libby, good idea!
