Thank you! I'm attempting a cardi next - I seem to spend most of my time on stuff to wrap round my neck or put on my feet!!

Indeed. He hasn't got a hunched back - it's just the way he's standing.

Bless his heart - he's always keen to help out. I didn't have to force him - honest :-)

awww! that's really sweet :)

does anyone else love the knitpro symfonie needles? i am a massive fan but i'm finding it more and more difficult to get them online. and my lws has decided they are too expensive and stopped stocking them (she is a lovely old dear but worries that people are spending too much money and tries to talk you out of buying the expensive stuff!!). anyone know of a good stockist. i want some 4mm straight needles.

They're very pretty, RD :)

(I use metal needles pretty much exclusively, so I wouldn't know where's best for the Knitpro Symfonie - and I tend to buy my straight needles from charity shops.)

I've added my recent crochet squares to my profile on Ravelry now :) It's in one project as technically it's for one big blanket as opposed to me doing several different 6" squares. I might change this and put them separately at some point, but it's lumped together for now.
