But I did learn how to do Judy's magic cast (just google)on as that I could knit a cover for the ipad I have just ordered!<br />I went into knitting club and asked if anyone could show me and they all laughed as a little earlier another member had just asked the exact same question. And between us we sorted it, or at least she showed me how to do it, I was all fingers and thumbs.

I love the color combo of your first granny square, you can't get better than pale green and pink! I can recommend using alpaca as it's soft and organic and not scratchy like a lot of wool is. I also use a LOT of cotton yarn.<br /><br />((hugs)), Teresa :-)Teresa Kasnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06228404538876664577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6020904173403709669.post-56053328536490062942011-06-14T18:10:53.574+01:002011-06-14T18:10:53.574+01:00Congratulations to Sarah, lucky thing!!
