    Hi Chalky,
    What a lovely lot of ladies you know in Spain, I echo Kathys thanks for them all, :T and for your sister, she is a star:staradmin :staradmin :staradmin
    If she is leaving lots of face fillers I could do with a bucketful :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Thanks for keeping us all up to date, I nearly have enough for a parcel now and will send it probably on Saturday 1st class so it gets there in plenty of time.

    Good morning everyone.

    Maytaurus - thanks for all the patterns! The dinosaurs are lovely and different from the ones I've got, so I can make a whole Jurassic Park now! I can see lots being made for trauma toys and also for gifts for family members. I shall have a go at the one with the sticky-out bits on his head next!

    Sheyo - I've knitted size 3-6months for Chalky's appeal - I don't know what everyone else is doing? They won't get there until Feb so newborn will be too small. 6-9months would also be useful, probably.

    Well, lots of updating to do again - you've all been so busy again! I've invented a crochet pattern for a bunting and have nearly finished it; I shall do a few more because they're so quick to do.

    I hope you all have a good day today! Thank you so much for all your totals!

    KathyXX

    Shezmit - are you OK? We haven't heard from you since Wednesday. I hope you haven't got one of the dreaded lurgies that have been doing the rounds.

    Hi Shelley - glad you're OK!

    Sheyo - thanks for your latest totals. I update fairly early in the morning when the house is quiet and I know I won't get interrupted! I'll add your items to tomorrow's update. Your needles are flying!

    Jellybeans - thanks for your latest items! The boobs are fun, aren't they? I always leave one on the coffee table before I post it; it's a real conversation piece when we have visitors!
