    By the way, I have been quite busy with the needles over the last couple of weeks, just haven't had the chance to post anything off. Will get it done next week though.

    Quite an assortment of stuff, including a few Aaron squares :D

    Also knitted another couple of boobs. Had just finished the second one when my sister-in-law called by to say she has breast cancer :cry: . She found a lump just over a week ago and they got her for tests straight away. On the positive side it's not the most aggressive form and the tumour is on the outside, so the surgeon is confident she won't have to loose her breast. They told her 3 weeks for the op, but then rang her today to say they have brought it forward to next wednesday... so fingers crossed for her please.

    One last thing - I've finally sewn up a cardi that I knitted weeks ago, but I have no buttons. Do you have a stash? Or could you get some if I put the money for them in with the parcel?

    I have plenty of buttons. If you pm me with the approx size and colour and number you need I'll see what I can do. I have loads of cream/white ones in different sizes if that helps.

    Lorna - I was so sorry to read your news, thank goodness for breast awareness posters and leaflets, they make us think to check for lumps. Now at least she has been seen and the op is very soon. So fingers crossed,
    you and your family will be in my prayers xx
    Keep us posted and as k2tog said if you need an 'ear' just pop in we are always ready to listen/help in any way we can :A

  • Lorna - hope things go well for your sister in law. Its a stressful time for you all.

    Do we need to post our updates today if the site is going to be down over the weekend? If so, will do mine in a separate post.

    Thanks
