    So sorry, Shezmit - that's what comes of logging on here when I've just woken up! I'll update my last update, if you see what I mean!

    Tooties - how many squares?!! Well done to you. I shall add them to my last update right now.

    KathyXX

    Shez - I've just updated and your sig shows 6 chicks, which is what the update says - is that right? I'm not sure if you've done 6 or 7! I've add your jumpers for Teds.

    Thank you SO MUCH Maytaurus for this wonderful link :j . I've got LOADS of squares I started enthusiastically but have now almost lost the will to live when I think of finishing a blanket - so, I'm going to turn as many as poss into bunnies and send the other squares as they are to someone with more sticking power than me, to finish.

    Started my first bunting last night - couldn't help crying at the thought of the tiny people who will wear them. Decided I needed to 'get a grip' and turned it into an opportunity to pray for the families, as I knit, instead.

    Love to all,

    Chris

    Chrisbethany - the bunnies are lovely, aren't they? I'm going to have a go at one. We've all found it sad thinking of the reason for the buntings (my DH couldn't believe how tiny they are), but they are so necessary for the parents at such a sad time. I love the thought that the little ones are embraced by something knitted with love and care, and of how much comfort it brings to the parents.

    Hi Kathy,:wave:

    errrmm my totals are wrong, I have done 4 BUNTINGS, 1 CARDI and 2 HATS.

    It was me who started posting my totals in RED last year, because if you remember you kept missing me out :cry: not on purpose I know :D

    Yesterday was awful I couldnt get online at all, I think it was something to do with Cable and Virgin, came on ok today though so lets hope it stays that way.
    Thread of the week :j :j :j :j how good is that.
    I must have missed it though, where did you find it???

    Isnt it lovely to see so many new friends on here, :T :T

    I am off now to check out the link you posted earlier for the wool, and take a look at the bunnies maytaurus(thank you) posted they look so cute.

    A :coffee:will be nice too
