    Joan,

    Ellen has inexplicably taken up knitting (my 12 year old - "Far too cool for anything" daughter). Do you want to give her some tips??

    She's about 3 feet into her first scarf... my mum's been helping her. I wouldn't even know one end of a knitting... stick thingy from another

    Nxx

    OK, Plaid it is :!: Something like this :?: red-plaid-bg.jpg

    Quite difficult to knit, but nothing's impossible.

    Hi Nina

    Good for Ellen :!: :grin: It's a useful skill to acquire, so tell her to keep at it. I will expect a fashion show next time I see her :grin:

    I love knitting and crochet as well.

    But...............

    I thought the Royal Wedding ensemble was the worst thing I have
    ever seen - craft-wise. :roll:

    Hello Rich. I don't think we've met before, but you can certainly have a monochrome one. It's a bit easier to knit than Del's plaid anyway :roll: Not sure what colour, but how about midnight blue :?: 055navy.jpg
