Hi all
Gingernutmeg - you really go for the smoothie hats, don't you?! Great total. I'm updating just once a week at the moment, on Sundays, because I'm in the middle of moving to France so I'm trying to keep everything simple. You can still post totals daily, but I've asked everyone to do a weekly total over the weekend for me to update on Sunday evenings.
RedheadMum - I've thought how good it would be if we could all meet up! We'll have to give it some thought for the future.
Right, I'm off to look at the photos on the Wooligans site, then I'll have a bath and try and get something accomplished woolwise tonight.

Shelley is it vent hats in particular that you're running low on, or preemie hats in general? I'm planning a visit to Asda tomorrow evening, so I'll check to see if the post office there will be open, and if so get a parcel off to you.
