RD - Whoops keyboard slip there. The pattern says do the rib on 3.25 needle and main body on 3.75. Done the tension sample which has worked out exactly:-) Will cast on tomorrow.
I'm sure there was an update somewhere on that stash and she had re-organised it and added to it 
I reckon she wouldn't miss the odd ball or 20 if we staged a raid!

jaynie-b, girlie
it's a dangerous place, v'rap
i'm trying very hard not to look too closely at any other yarn til i've ticked off a few more projects. plus the fact i need to get used to paying for a student, now.
i'm still knitting and listening to iplayer. this is not good, i ought to be sleeping.

I turned up at after school club today to see a large bag (dustbin liner size) of balls of wool. Apparently a parent works at a wool place and donates it. It's mainly used for pompoms and scarves! I wonder if they'll let me raid it?

Lol at runner duck trying to lure me into the knitting world
The Mod Podge is basically watered down PVA, which can be used as glue and also as a sealer, so you can use paints, inks, papers etc and nothing should run if you coat it. I've got glittery stuff too
This is my first mixed media canvas I did last week - basically you use different types of materials to create whatever you want, doesn't look very bright on here though...

last night I melted wax onto a painted canvas....need more practice on that one though

that's really lovely, nicki! which is the wax bit - hard to tell from a little photo.
that mod podge stuff should work for mosaicing paper, shouldn't it?

Thanks rd
The wax bits are on a different one....you'd know if you saw it cos it just looks like a load of blobs
I think so, I used it on newspaper stuck to a canvas and it all went a bit eughhh.... curled a bit and looked a bit bedraggled, but I've looked at tit this morning and the paper looks smooth again with a bit of sheen on it.
You could make your own I guess but it seems a bit faffy to get the right consistency, so I bought mine from calico crafts online
