Hey all, A couple of months a go i got quite a lot of wool from my local freecycle, got some knitting needles and also a crochet hook, and planned to do some blankets for rescues.... .....BUT i cant seem to keep the concentration or focus on either , so does anyone have any ideas on what i can do with it and can use it in some quizzes?? Or if you have the patience of a saint if you can give me a dummiesguide to knitting or crocheting (which evers easiest, lol!!) it would be greatly appreciated!! Claire xx

ooooooh Selina, how do you do them!!!!
I would love to have the concentration to use the wool to make the blankets, but its just sitting here now and if i can use it for smaller odd toy things and donate them to the quizzies id feel better (in doing something and also in contibuting to the box!!!)

K9-Knitters have some patterns for dog coats on their website, perhaps you might find some inspiration there?

google pom-poms if you want to make them, there are lots of instructions, but it involves winding the wool round a centre ring and then tying the wool there!!
Be easier with pictures!!

I really wanted do something with the wool myself, and am annoyed at myself for giving up the knitting and crocheting so quickly, so need something softer first to get me used to wool and ive just bought a knitting mag which has walk thrus on knitting and crocheting.... Thanks for the hint Murtle, have googled and have found it ....looks fairly easy so will have a bash this afternoon/evening, Watch the VPB for pom pom toys, lol!!
