v-rap you have some robin paintbox yarn (from looking at your projects you used in it the "brick" cushion cover you recently did) I got some to crochet with but it's too busy ... any ideas as to what I should/could use it for? currently using some lovely hand dyed purple yarn with sparkles on a hitch hiker - made a couple of mistakes 1 through tiredness 1 due to annoying husband! Had to frog 3 rows this morning - as I'm on tooth 18 this was several stitches! |

I must take a photo of the things my mother made with the Robin Paintbox yarn, Pix. Even she couldn't do a thing with the Duplo-coloured stuff, but she managed to turn the pink and lilac stuff into a cardigan. I started making a baby cardi with Robin baby 4-ply. It was like knitting with ragged old plastic carrier bags. I have most of 200g of the stuff in white if anyone wants it, otherwise it's going to the charity shop and I am going to knit with woolly wool instead. |

Those brightly coloured skeins look lovely but don't always look the same once knitted up! I like some of the patterns pairing them with a dark main colour, using the bright as accents/flashes. Here's my Magrathea, finally written up ravel.me I've also bought some blocking mats today. (Bit late for the Magrathea!) If anybody is in need Morrisons have interlocking foam mats intended for hopscotch for £4 a set! |

That looks fab Meglet and a lovely colour. I love Martinas patterns, they are so easy to follow and suit all sorts of yarns.

I have been busy with stuff, but have busted some stash using up three lots of leftover wool for socks. They are much more orange than the pic suggests. |

Happy go lucky boot socks ravelry.com - I have the book and am working through it. Mind you there's lots of other lovely three colour socks on ravelry too.
