Though I've had a look on Ravelry at other peoples projects and it looks like I need to pick up another ball. Any excuse for a visit to the local yarn shop! :)<br />Thanks again, your comment has made my day :)<br />Ashley xAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02818220432918190586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1524079776848398622.post-34231643733534390912011-07-12T08:20:24.422+01:002011-07-12T08:20:24.422+01:00Hey Ashley!

Have to admit I've really been slacking - going to pop in here every day, as you're great inspiration.<br /><br />Lisa xoxoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1524079776848398622.post-7536330237015772662011-07-10T13:23:01.818+01:002011-07-10T13:23:01.818+01:00Haha, well currently I'm a student who's f...Haha, well currently I'm a student who's finished for the summer. So I've been free to do as I please since June. I don't start my third year until October, so I should really start looking for a summer job, but I'm enjoying my free time too much!<br />I found youtube great for mastering socks. There are so many helpful videos, as I find it hard to visualise written instructions sometimes. <br />You're welcome :)<br />Ashley xAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02818220432918190586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1524079776848398622.post-66134067405816927332011-07-10T12:57:56.027+01:002011-07-10T12:57:56.027+01:00Gosh how do you get so much done!

I can't seem to get the hang of socks but this makes me want to give it another try.

Its about £1.99 a metre, and I think it's on their cheap cottons page. If you can't find it, give them a ring :) I bought 10 metres, which made the £8.50 postage more worth it. I've actually just run out, I need some more! Though word of warning, it's very loose weave so frays easily. So be quick when trying on. It doesn't hold up well to unpicking, its easier to just cut another muslin. Also I use about a 3mm stitch length which works well, and iron each seam as soon as its sewn to set the stitches or it warps terribly. Hope that helps :)<br />Ashley xAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02818220432918190586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1524079776848398622.post-81063083674884898882011-07-08T22:30:53.875+01:002011-07-08T22:30:53.875+01:00Firstly - belated happy birthday!

Out of interest, what do you make your muslins out of?

I'm thinking we have a similar shape too so maybe I should give princess seams a go... The real dress will look great. I vote keep it sleeveless personally.

So I've avoided going out unless absolutely I have to/want to! They're healing up now though :D<br />Haha, I'd love to! You could teach me to crochet in between toile fittings! :)<br />You did remember, thank you :)<br />Ashley xAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02818220432918190586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1524079776848398622.post-58683740588862751342011-07-08T13:22:25.731+01:002011-07-08T13:22:25.731+01:00OMG, you have been super busy!!
