sallykate Jan 2017 4:10pm, 14 Jan 2017 4,667 posts	0 sallykate WL I might have some old baby patterns, would be v happy to pass them on if you were interested - could post a pic so you can see what they're for. I definitely made Sarah some tie-dye dungarees.

Berry Jan 2017 3:38pm, 17 Jan 2017 78 posts	0 Berry I've just about finished my first pair of cable socks (just have to sew the toe but always have to check and follow very carefully the instructions for the Kitchener stitch!!) But the ribbing on the second one is tighter and neater than the first one (practice makes perfect!) would you redo the first one or just leave it?
HellsBells Jan 2017 3:48pm, 17 Jan 2017 22,019 posts	0 HellsBells unless it's too tight to wear, i'd leave it as wearing them will block them out anyway. I always have to remind myself with Kitchener stitch - I've got the instructions bookmarked on my ipad!

sallykate Jan 2017 11:10am, 19 Jan 2017 4,698 posts	0 sallykate Made a bit of progress with my sunflower blanket, including a redesign around colours so that I'm using wool up rather than having to buy too much more, and hopefully anything I do buy will be pretty much used for the blanket.
