Cheryl,
I do prefer Melanie, but I don't get upset at Mel...LOL, late for dinner is the only thing I don't want to be called! 
Ouch, that sounds painful!  The results are beautiful, but I do hope you can find a way to avoid blisters in the figure!  Fast healing!  <3

i undertand i will call you melaine back when i was a school my friend used to  call me chez or chezzy i never liked it but i got use to it but now i have left everyone say cheryl now which im happy with lol....yes it been a week now since i have finished the pompom blanket and my fingers are bit scabby  

Cheryl,
I can completely relate!  Sometimes nicknames aren't exactly a choice.    Luckily as an adult it's easier to steer people over to something better! 
Hoping your fingers are much better by the time you read this.  <3  Sometimes we pay a high price for our crafts, sigh!  Have done this before...it can be quite painful...

Hi, sorry i havent got back to you sooner, just got back home from hoilday, yes my fingers are much better now but gonna take a break from it and gonna knit some babye clothes, my mam has told me that her friend loved the pompom blanket which i am really happy to hear, and she also asked if id do some cardigans for her baby boy.. 

Cheryl,
Hope you had a lovely holiday!
Glad to hear the pompom blanket was well received. <3  It also sounds like knitting the baby clothes will be a welcome difference...no getting injured that way, right?    Seriously, though, it definitely sounds like the cardigans will give you a chance to heal and do something interesting at the same time.  <3
