well i have not done any knitting for years but i thing im going to get my needles out

Felicity - and which colour ?? or is it already born :O))

Lynda - what wool are you using ?? I have tried SIrdar Boa - and Wendy Shimmer. Just so many colours to choose from lol - just doing one for my Mum in Wendy Shimmer Petrol - doesn't look very exciting in a ball but when you knit it up it's fab :O))

I've just got the knitting needles and patterns out to start knitting for a new grandchild. :-)

I have just finnished my pink fluffy scarf - what colour shall I do next...... Lynda x

Blue I have just bought a pattern for a lovely jumper in Sirdar Wow - lovely chunky chenille wool in gorgeous colours - will be great for next winter :O))

Joanie!! stop spreading malicious rumours!!!! pmsl (and it wasnt even over the phone!!!!!!!!!!! lmao) Anne......why not knit the scarf then just cut a hole in it!!! pmsl

Lemon lol Thanks everyone ............. Just asked Mum on the phone, and I think I have got the idea now - she made it sound so simple lol I like Julie Anne's idea - I'll just knit a bag for Lemon to put over her head pmsl xxx

FUFF......me difficult.....if I could knit I would do a hole for you Anne XXX

Exactly Dawn, Er that's what I meant (I think!!) lol :0) Joan

Anne I have just made one 33 sts stst throughout. Until measures 15cm ending with WS next row K16 cast off 1st K15 wok on first 16st and work 17 rows more leave on stitch holder. with ws facing rejoin yarn to rem 16sts and purl to end. Work 16 rows more with rs facing K16 cast on 1st k16 sts from holder. Next Row Purl carry on til 81cm cast off.

Scissors Anne?! Anna (a non knitter nutter!)

i think youd be better knitting a kind a tube, that way they put their head thru some how or wrap round neck then round back of head and over like funnel

Anne, I think you need to cast off a few stitches mid row (how many depends on how many stitches you start with !). Knit a few rows then cast on the amount you cast off mid row again, so you are back to the original amount. P.S. You know that hind leg on your donkey, well mines missing now too !!!!!! A certain trivia person was talking to me past midnight last night god she can talk for Scotland pmsl!! :0) Joan xxxx

Not seen any patterns for this but I suppose you would knit half way across a row then turn and go back again several times until the split was large enough then do the same on other side of row. Then when matching first side knit right across the 2. Any use?? GLoria

I'll go first :O)) I have a 'difficult' customer (lol) who wants a Keyhole Scarf ie with a slit for the other end to pass through. Can someone please explain to me how to do this?? The only online patterns I can find are in American terminology. Thank you xx
