Knit Your Square To Give Your Share 2009!

mioliere

Hi everyone - our visitors have just gone, DH is on the phone, so I thought I try and get the update done now - before I start the dinner. Mind you, I'm still full from the delicious chocolate fudge cake that our guests brought with them!

Anyway, I shall find Prfungi's amended update and post in the next post. The figure of 188 items I quoted in my last post is now 209! Amazing and all thanks to you!

OMG Dirty Dancing, I love it, along with Pride and Prejudice and Strictly Ballroom. I know every word of them too, (all five hours of P&P) sad I know.

I'm going to watch Dirty Dancing tonight now you've all set me off. just the film to knit to, as long as I stop for the last eight minutes!

Hi Kathy, I fear those thoughts of Patrick Swayze have put you all in a tizz because my totals are wrong. My siggy is correct if that helps to update. Sorry to be a pain when you've got so much on x

f1widow

Hi all - sorry I have been missing for a few days and now I have realised I've missed the weekly update whoops :o - never mind - will add on next week

Mioliere - hope the packing is going well not long now....... I only moved down the road and that was bad enough let alone another country !!!

Shezmit - really sorry I didnt get your package sent out last week - every day I meant to go but got caught up with workers coming and going in the house ....... (and may I add ladies none of the builders were as gorgeous as Patrick Swayze hmmmmmmmm!!! - Dirty Dancing is one of my classic films I love it!!!)

Take care all hope you are all well love and best wishes f1widow (aka Jaqui) xxx

f1widow

Shezmit - how mouldy not to donate the wool to you - even if they had let you have half - its not like you were only spending a few pounds - £40 is alot !!!

A big thumbs down to Aldi!!!

shezmit

Tell me about it, I would be happy with one ball for nothing, at least i asked,

i was thinking about going back down to buy more as i can't resist a bargain and the wool from aldi is a brilliant deal even if they are boring old farts:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Hi everyone. I'm so sorry for getting the totals wrong, K2tog and Prfungi - I've probably made a lot of mistakes, so I apologise to anyone else whose figures I get wrong. I shall take another look tomorrow and go from the last update (not the one I've just done!) and start again. I don't want to get the running totals wrong. I must admit I am feeling really frazzled and stressed about the move, and having visitors, lovely as it was, was a bit too much!

I'm off to watch Lark Rise that I've just recorded while I had a bath - hopefully, sanity will be restored after a good night's sleep.

Please don't apologise for having to tell me I've got the figures wrong - I need to know, to be able to put them right!

Have a great evening!

KathyXX
