When I'm not using my mobile for games, facebook, google+, forums and general internet, on a good day I like to knit toys and/or craft homemade cards.

I have been knitting to patterns for roughly 5 years now. I started when I quit smoking heheh. Before then I just knitted squares for the local MS charity to my Aunt. Then when I had Bronny I knitted her a patchwork blanket.

I have made various toys, my bunnies are in high demand!

I started card making in August of last year and have been enjoying it ever since.

I will post a few example pics when I'm on my laptop next.

They all look great, Cmdr!

They do get bigger if one clicks on them, anyone who does will see the full or larger version. Wink

Okies, not working for me using chrome on android, but I am guessing that's an android problem...

Perhaps the image resize/enlargement mod uses flash or something?  Sad

No, it's not that, it's not working for me either, the images won't let me see the larger ones. Weird. Shocked I think if you do attachments (1 per post, it's our limit here) it will show up a lot better and bigger. Or that's been my experience at least.

Good grief, normally clicking on the images in that size will let me see the larger images... Huh.

The board seems to have resized them itself.

If you post them using the thumbnail code from PB then we'll be able to click and see the bigger picture.

I'm using chrome at the moment and I just right clicked and told it to open the image in a new tab.  Beautiful work!  You're very talented CmdrVimes! 

Also, I was just wondering if your user name is a Terry Pratchet reference?  Cmdr Vimes is one of my favorite characters!
