    OK will do some "alien" bosoms - 'cos I've no nudes here - all hairy, furry or covered in dust.
    Will contact Lou for a pattern & line up "PamsPal" .

    I'd ask my Mum but she's forgot what shape they're supposed to be:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: although, judging from her squares - alien bosoms would definately be the result. :A

    7 creme egg covers for my choirboy appeal.

    not sure if i will get a chance to come in tomorrow this this will be ready for the weekend update. Have a great weekend all


    mrs moneypenny - which pattern do you use for your creme egg covers ? I`ve got some bright yellow wool here to use up, and I`d better use some of it before hubby sees me starting on my ALDI PURCHASES :D

    Could someone let me have a copy of the boobs pattern as well please - I`ll try anything once !

    Sue-UU I take it you are referring to giving up smoking? If so, good luck! I'm sure knitting will help.

    Thanks anyway Kathy, it did help me tremendously, though I don't need to do it now as I gave it up 10 years ago and it was the best thing I ever did, for myself and all the family! I help out on the board and encourage others on their journey, many successful ones we've had there too!

    pfungi Pam, Is it me or would there be a reason why I can't view your blanket pattern on the preemies board? I saw all those little treasures, so tiny bless them, but no pattern?!

    Thanks, Sue

    Hi everyone. Hope you are all well.

    Maytaurus - hope everything is well with you?

    Shelley - that's a lot of boobs! I can't help right now, but should be able to contribute before the deadline, once I've moved and settled in a bit. I asked Itsloopylisa if she would be happy to sew up the four teds you've sent to me; I found a pm from her but there was nothing in it! So, at the moment, I don't have her address. I've pm'd her twice but I don't think she's been on here for a couple of days, so she probably hasn't checked her pm's lately. If I don't hear from her by Monday, I shall send the teds back to you. Otherwise, they'll end up in France and heaven knows how long they'd take to get done and posted back to you! I leave the UK a week tomorrow:eek: :eek: I've got some things to send you for Preemies - not many and only little things that I've stayed awake long enough to make; I shall send them on Monday, with a cheque for your bungee jump :eek: and the teds if I haven't heard from Lisa.

    Prfungi - well done on getting such a good donation of wool!

    Sue UU - well done on giving up the weed and supporting others!

    S-Michaeals - it's such shame that some people have that attitude about knitting, isn't it? It's their loss, not yours. As K2tog says -they don't know what they're missing!

    Well, another day of packing today - I just wish the basics could be put on hold. You know, things like cooking and cleaning! I have a huge pile of ironing that I keep ignoring, but I'll have to get it done over the weekend.

    Anyway, will catch you all later.
