I am doing a bit of knitting and a bit of crocheting.

Perhaps if anyone has some tips on candle making they could start a new thread for Lyn Lyn. )t'

Well, it's official - knitting can delay memory loss. The story's here:

Of course, that's supposing you've not forgotten where you put the needles and wool!

Perhaps there are some men out there who would love to knit but are too shy, don't worry you are not alone, why not give it a whirl.

I love knitting. My nan taught me when I was about 7.

I'm rubish at jumpers, ok at scarves, but my favorites are

little cotton rabbits free knitting patterns

I've done teddies and bunnies and sewed brooch pins to the back for all the kids friends, they look cute

That's a nice site, Amanda. I'll pop that in my favourites, and maybe have a go making a rabbit. Thanks.
