PP - you sound lik eme! I finally managed to remember how to cast on, now only 8 rows later have about twice as many stitches on teh needle as I started with lol But I dont seem to be doing anything wrong...hubby thought maybe I was knitting seperate strands of the the yarn iykwim? Needless to say, I am not a knitter....
I thought I could knit a cot blanket for Bump couldn't be too hard, just straight lines adn nothing fancy! lol That was when I was 13 weeks pregnant. I have so far done 8 rows. and they were in the first week lol
good luck - I hope you are more persistant than me!!
sam - yeah I would like to see the bidders name, it would make it a whole lot easier
Well, no sun again today, so the nappies are slowly drying inside...Thank goodness I have mostly IB's!! You know I realised today that I only have TWO true AIO's! Is that odd? I really like AIO's, but they take so long to dry! Maybe that's why I only have 2...hmm
Mel - hope you are not reading this! If you are, dont be disheartened...
...Sex didnt work for us either! lol It was really rather embarrassingly bad! lol
WOHB: Just for something different today....bumG lol
DH answered the door this afternoon to accept a parcel and comes into the loungeroom saying "you've got fluffy mail!" ha ha ha!
I received:
Sandmans night nappy (interesting...)
Good Night Sleep Tight nappy (very fuzzy)
Greenkids funtime - helicopter
Blueberry - green minky
Bit confused by the greenkids though - the inserts are like an A4 page size... do they get folded into 3 or 2??
They all look very good. Can't wait to try them out. They're in the loungeroom on the airer trying to get a bit dry. Will put them in the dryer in the morning to finish them off.
Thanks for the info on the Giraffe minky... now I have a $120 order on NN ready to go! Just got to suck up to DH so I can place it now! Anyone tried the BumGenius bottom cleanser?
I ask you - is there anything more annoying than having the scroll wheel on your mouse broken?? Grrrr! Must go & buy a new mouse tomorrow!
Nettie - WRT Green kids inserts - are you talking about the length being the size of A4 or the width? Cos mine are long, but I don't need to fold them, they fit in perfectly?
I think I've been sent the wrong things... They are both the length and width of an A4 page - like a prefold. It's edged in rainbow overlock and seems to be bamboo (but can't tell) The Greenkids pocket came empty, so I assumed these things were the inserts - but checking the greenkids website, I don't seem to have gotten an insert - just two of these A4 thingys.
Just Emailled them to ask about it. Will let you know how I get on...
How bizarre.. maybe they have changed their inserts - unless Nelle has some suggestions?? None of my inserts even look remotely like that for my Green Kids.
Let us know how you go Nettie
well, i went back to spotlight yesterday, and bought more microfleece, and could have SWORN that I picked up little additions stuff, so should have been cheaper than what I paid, but then they told me that it wasn't, but it had scanned wrong anyway - at $12.99, and they looked in the catalogue and said it should be $8.99, but i still reckon it should have been $5.99......but it was already 5.30, and they were trying to close the shop, and emy was cranky, so I didn't argue too much.....
PP - when I was in spotlight last week, i got a book from Panda (knitting/wool people) called "learn to knit with 56 projects" and i have started with a scarf for a teddy bear, so i only cast on 9 stitches, and then get a lot more rows done! I have tried to learn a few times in the past, with mum teaching me, but she has always cast on heaps of stitches and then i do about 6 rows and get bored coz i can't really see any progress in what i'm doing......so i reckon if i can get my teddy scarf done, then i can start to tackle something a little bigger and trickier........oh yeah, I have pulled mine apart a few times, coz the first time i started with 9 stitches, and ended up with 21, and i asked mum, and she reckoned that i must have not been taking the stitch off the needle properly, but i slowed down what i was doing a bit, and i think that maybe when i was taking the wool up to go between the needles i wasn't doing it very successfully, and somtimes splitting the wool over the top of the needle, so then it looked like i had a stitch to knit, so i did, but it shouldn't have been there in the first place - so now i just be very careful to make sure that i haven't split the wool, and have been a lot more successful! (Well, this is just my theory anyway, i could be completely wrong....)
With LS - I read somewhere on another forum, that someone got one from Reece (plumbing people) for a lot cheaper - about $54? Do you reckon that it would be a real LS, or just something similar?
Edit: just went and read the cover knitting thread - i'd listen to their suggestions over mine any day!

Nettie, my GKs inserts are like two hourglass-shaped pieces of bamboo sewn together at one end. HTHs!
Mel, do you mind if I have another go at that nappy beofre posting it back? It didn't get a really good go the other day, not much more than an hour. Please, please say if you need it back ASAP though. Hope you're enjoying telling everyone to pi$$ off and leave you along !
WOHB: sposie, cos he pooed in the only dry BBB and yes, it had a liner in it, but he managed to get poo on the nappy as well. And he didn't even wee in it, what a waste!!!! LOL
With the Green Kids you need to order the inserts seperately from the website....I know this because I just went looking to buy them lol I dont own any so I have no idea what they have sent you, but going from the website, it mentions specifically that the inserts are ordered seperately...
WOHB: Sandman and soaker and babylegs...hopefully going to sleep soon - when she stops bouncing off the walls!
I tend not to buy the GK inserts (nothing wrong with them, I've just had bamboo on hand to make my own is all), but that doesn't sound like the standard GK inserts if it's as wide as an A4 sheet...
Perhaps they're including trifolds/bifolds or something these days, like Mel suggested.
Should still do the job at any rate, if it's bamboo, bifolds are what I use in my GK's. Let us know what they tell you.
Hmm, I might have to try a D'Lish sewn in then. Do we think more absorbent than Magicalls? Apart from our elastic issues, they were absorbent enough for home and non nap times.
Lol at your dh saying you have Fluffy mail Nettie. :P Mine hides my packages in strange places so I stumble across them, like putting them in the fridge or hiding them behind his back while telling me about his day.
Haha Sammi, perhaps I should start a Cover knitters: The Pretenders (all talk, no action, got the tools and not the talent) thread. :P
Ah, need to go the the loo, and that's as good a reason as any to finish my post!
LOL - don't worry about me guys... I didn't realise the GreenKids came without an insert... so the A4 things belonged to the Good Night Sleep Tight nappy. Geez I wish companies would tag their products so I know what goes with what in an order!!!
I've now done an order on NN tonight and have ordered some extra GreenKids inserts to cover myself! ha ha ha - baby brain
So there's another $130 on nappies... Ordered the giraffe minky!! Can't imagine I'll need much more after this!
WOHB - very wet cushie tushie that needs changing into his night nappy (BBB & Wool cover)
Registered User
and laugh at him :P
