Knit Your Square To Give Your Share 2009!

k2tog

Nice to see some lurking oldies back and posting - :wave: And great to hear from Kathy too - fingers crossed for Thursday.

Funny update from me this week. I have done Aaron squares but have turned them (and others) into a baby blanket because I wanted to see what it looked like and crochet around it to pimp it up. In the end didn't do the shells because I was short of wool so just a DC edge to neaten it.

UPDATE
3 boobs
1 IS hat
7 Aaron squares
1 shrug
1 bunting
(1 baby blanket from Aaron squares)

Hope everyone is having a good weekend x
Updating sig now!

Hi all - hope you are all well - hello to all the new ones - thanks shezmit saying what you need for May - I think that is handy then through the month we can work at the projects you need - well done all to the "boob" total - we "boobed out" ha ha

chalky 75 - am glad I am not the only one who needs easier things - I have looked at the sleeping bags but I get a bit bamboozled at patterns at the moment

Anyway my UPDATE:

1x preemie blanket
1x boob
2x aaron squares
1x pull on hat (Operation Christmas Child)

Sorry pretty bad update for two weeks really - note to self must try harder next week - if I dont make more I will not allow myself to buy more wool this week ha ha ha :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Take care all f1widow xxxx

Just been doing a little surfing before bed and I came across a nursing community site. Someone had asked if the items they send to the preemie units are actually wanted and used. Some great replies, so I thought you may want to read them to know how much our contributions are needed and appreciated.

Thanks Lorna. Have just had a look at the lovely replies. It's good to know given the stories the other week about knitted stuff being banned in hospitals.

miserable and rainy here, spent most of the weekend working on the fence darent knit friday or saturday cos the house still smelled to much of creosote and i didnt want it permeating the wool and making my work smell:o. did some of my sands blanket last night while damages was on have finally reached 1/2 way and sarted decreasing:T.

fence is now repaired 16 new planks to replace old or damaged ones 2 new metposts to help support it and re creosoted.only trouble is while we were working a lot of plants got stood on so now need to re think the border.
