    Hi Helen, Thank you for sharing your beautiful projects with us. The crochet cover for your office chair is lovely. The colour choice for your Ranunculus looks really nice on you and that is definately my favourite this month. I checked on the links that you supply and I found the fluffy Pom Poms I will be getting a couple for my Beanies. Bailey looked all cosy and comfy always enjoy seeing him. Enjoy your time with your Grandson. Bye Carol 👋 👋

    Hi Helen, Lovely to see you again on u tube loved the finished jumper I thought the colour really suited you & loved the colour of pink you are knitting your grandson is starting to come to the beginning of an interesting age super sweet super cute 🙂 Helen, I took your advice & went on u tube to learn how to connect 2 different colours I actually surprised myself I did it 🤗 & it worked a treat Take care Lin 💖

    Wow! Everything is so beautiful & almost looks like fabric. I didn't know that you could use modeling paste. Have to give it a try. All your molds are so beautiful. Mine are all so deep because they are for backing. I can't seem to find the ones you used. I know this video is old, but I will try Amazon or eBay. Thank you so much for sharing.

    You are so welcome Linda, and thank you for continuing to follow me. I am glad I was able to help with the knitting. No I haven't thought about selling my knitting bags, I know 'Crafty Cleggs', 'Sew Sweet Violet' & 'Sew Rae Me', all have KZread channels and make project bags and sell them on etsy, they are all based in UK or Scotland, so check them out, they all do beautiful bags, so if you want to shout yourself one, then check them out. I think the postage for over the other side of the world would be quite prohibitive.

    Thank you, usually a diamond painting takes about 2-3 months for me if I work on it fairly steadily , but lately I haven't been doing nearly as much, so it will take me probably take a lot longer. They are quite big, that one was about 60cm × 80cm, but you can get smaller ones that don't take as long

    Lin if it was DK 8ply I would knit with 4.00mm needles and with 4ply/fingering I would knit with 2.5mm or 2.75mm. I would recommend the DK weight and the 4mm needles as that would grow faster and not be so labourious.@@lindaeastment4542
