Often wondered & thought it may be to do with people copying their colours but my main thought was I imagine years ago when they started out they did not have as many shades as they have now. For example they may have had 250 shades when first starting up & every so often over the years have...

Thank you for update Marilyn. Heard on yesterday's early evening news the young boy had died. So very sad. Like Sally, send love, thoughts & prayers to all affected by this terrible tragedy - also the family of the girl in Finland & those who witnessed these atrocities. The whole world will ...

WOW OH WOW how beautiful is that. I've not seen such a gorgeous shawl. Look forward to seeing your new project soon.

Happy birthday to you both. Hope you have an enjoyable day.

What a great selection you have there Curious Kitty.

Lovely update. Look forward to seeing it again

What a worry for his mother when she is in hospital dealing with her own injuries & mental scars from the attack. What an awful thing to have to deal wit...

How delicate this looks & so nicely worked. Well done. I have long thin beading needles but Sally has made good suggestions & she's been x stitching longer than me Looked forward to seeing this again as you add the final touches.

Amazing, really life like. This will be terrific when completed. Love what you have done so far & look forward to seeing more soon

Prayers for people of Spain who have been affected by yesterday's terror attacks Hope members who live there or have family there are not involved. If only people would create Peace instead of terror, how lovely that would be for the whole world.

These are colourful little hats & help a good cause. A good idea of your son's girlfriend to put them on her teddies

Thank you both

Good start Sally. I like the colour of material but it would not be good for my eyes even tho I now have new glasses. Look forward to seeing your progress on this project

Wow, that is different. You have done well with that & look forward to seeing it again soon
