@Sam Hill there was a hobbycraft in a garden centre so I got what I needed. Also had picked up the extra ball of wool for daughter's scarf a few weeks earlier when I ran out of that one. This is why I've now got so many on the go. I don't usually have quite so many lol

@Sam Hill 🤣🤣🤣 I hadn’t thought of it like that but, yes! Tbh it has been a blessing twice as I ran out of 2 separate balls of wool and that Hobbycraft saved my sanity. I don’t have Hobbycraft near me in Wales and I was at FIL’s house. Nearest HC was the one in garden centre. We needed a break from house clearing and coffee and cake Obs 🤣 But yeah, I can see how fatal it would be. 🥳

Great question. I never thought that there would be a story. Probably because I don't follow a pattern (I probably should lol) and I only have 2 stitches (knit and purl). And everything is straight. That said I was thinking of asking you for a simple design for a baby blanket. My son got engaged last week. There's no baby or wedding plans yet, but I thought I might start early. He says he wants 17 children. Not sure his fiancé is quite so keen.

@Sam Hill I'm currently knitting the scarf for my daugher, so I think crochet would make a lovely change.

None lol I only knit or crochet in straight lines and squares or rectangles. That we way I can just keep going and I find it relaxing. Instructions or charts would interrupt my relaxing flow 🤣

Still working on the red(ish)/maroon scarf for my daughter. On the second ball of wall and thinking yikes, I'm going to need more wool soon. Fortunately, we're going to Manchester area on Sunday and I can nip into a Hobbycraft somewhere. Don't have Hobbycraft in Wales. Just hope I can get more of the same colour.

I don't like counting stitches unless I absolutely have to 🤣
