Pastille, I do feel I have been most remiss in my lack of response here, I read the opening gambit and have made a note of the book mentioned, sounds great.
I see we have now moved into the realms of Tricot, well Pastille, I was not aware of any revised building plans for your extension, may I say 'lean to' sounds a little down market for you.I have though knit a cushion for you to keep the 'Farmer Giles' at bay.
Moira, a boat, yes that would be good, once knit an aircraft carrier, most impressive.
Nellie you sound very proficient, I have managed amongst other things, champagne bottles/wedding cakes/a full tea party(for granddaughter) houses (not full scale).
One pattern that haunts me is a life size Olde English Sheepdog, I regularly look at it lovingly, then decide it will cost too much..have always wanted a pet though.
Joker, I have only the sporran to finish and they will be with you, a complimentary set O' The Pipes too.
I do hope that brings me up to date and have not dropped any stitches in this reply.
Casting off for now.
