Joy what type are you looking for? @movan

That led to the " back to sleep" campaign--- babies are put on their back in the Vit, with their feet at the foot of the cot. That was they can't wriggle down under bedding and lose more heat on their backs.
Was told the opposite in the 70s, wrap the baby and put him/her on their side or front.
I understand the SIDS number have dropped where 'back to sleep' advice is given and followed.

I had my three girls in 1986, 1988 and 1992. Each time the advice was different! Trouble is nobody told the babies and they decided for themselves which position they felt most comfortable in, and would settle in the quickest.

so true, was a paediatric nurse and got used to the changes. My elder son slept flat on his back with his arms folded across his chest, very creepy. Younger, like his mum was on his front as soon as he could turn. Loved it when our charges were able to get into their preferred position.
Nephew was a premmie, in an incubator on his front for most of his life before coming home. Mum was told, put him on his back to sleep it's not safe on his front, no wonder with a constantly screaming babe his mum was both confused and depressed.
oops rambling again.

I was going to offer as well Never let no paypal put you off Joy @movan - we will get you sorted one way or another

I finished knitting Martin's socks, they just need the ends sewing in and I didn't bring a darning needle (will have to buy one) but have orders for two more pairs which will have to wait until I have finished his sweater. I'm going to knit that in the round and steek the armholes, but I'll start with the sleeves and do two at a time using magic loop on a circular needle the same way I do socks

 

[scotzsue]

@Puddleduck only ever tried knitting sleeves at the same time once, ended up with only one top and 2 bottoms. that's what I get for knitting and watching tv at the same time.
Am going to have to have a sort out as I have no idea where the rest of the wool is for John's jumper, got plenty of aran but don't think he will fancy a multicoloured one.

Go for it Joy, it's lovely! (Unlikely me, I don't do knitting, crochet or sewing.)

 

[scotzsue]

Love that @movan glad you got sorted. I love knitting with chunky wool it grows so quickly. not really into hoods but would love it just with a collar. don't worry about the knitting it's like riding a bike you never really forget.

I made this baby jacket this evening from @Jenben 's pattern.
It's supposed to be for a premature baby but it's come out a bit big.
I'll make another one from 4ply and see what size that comes out.

Love that Anthea, I have 3 knitted that I am going to sew up this afternoon as we have a WI ‘PHD’ session (projects half done) ,village hall booked for 2 hours, cake and coffee available and ladies just turn up with their projects.

A lady called Dawn has a readicut rug kit which she started 25 years ago and anyone who hasn’t brought something to do just borrows a spare rug hook and helps out. It’s a really nice event , we have one each quarter and they are proving popular,

Where we live we are very close to our local mast and we can get tv in the kitchen without an aerial

That sounds great fun.
I did a presentation to some WI ladies in mid Wales on Monday about OFAPUK with my local coordinator. It went really well. They all had a go afterwards and I think we may be getting a few new members from it.

It’s tiny, made with dk on 4mm needles so it knits up fast.
Plus we ate early (for us) so there were no distractions! Catching up with DIP and QI, interspersed with GBSB made for an enjoyable and productive evening. I’m going out with some girlfriends this evening but I’ll have a go at the 4ply one on Thursday.

I’ll pm it to you, it’s really simple.
I’ve got dozens of baby patterns if you want to borrow any.

Well it arrived this morning ... yeah. Not as nice as the one I would have liked but half the price.

What have I learned already? Don't buy a pattern if you havn't checked you can find the wool ... and check the pattern


Been EVERYWHERE and can't find the size circular needle required! Off to Google now which me and technology is not good sign

But hope to cast on today.
