    Wow, what a lot of updating this morning! You've all been working really hard. I have just one bunting to add. It was quite quick to do because it's crocheted, so I shall do a few more like it.

    Shazrobo - I hope Josh is better today.

    Thank you all for your updates! Well done!

    Hope you all have a great day.

    KathyXX

    finally finished 1 jumper for chalky's appeal, and also have knitted 3 hedgehogs.

    going to start on the trauma toys next, with some preemie stuff in between, as i always like to have several items on the go at once.

    kathy, thanks for asking after josh, he isnt ill, he has learning disabilities, as does his twin brother, and at the moment he is not coping well in school, and as a result is often being sent home.

    Hi Everyone
    have had a couple of glasses of wine this evening (so NOT knitting) with a friend who is in a bad way so please scuse any typos.
    Kathy please coild you update me with 3 buntings and 1 Preemies hat and one grown up poersons hat for LH. Ooh, I can work the colour button!
    Shezmit, I am starting to be worried for you - your flock of chicks is getting huge! What happens if they take flight?!
    I will send my stuff soon - promise.
    Dh collected a delivery of yarn for me from Kemps today - some lovely stuff and I'm looking forward to kniting in pink instead of my residual blue stash for a change. DH is scared - there is wool for a jumper for him in the delivery!
    It's lovely to see so many new kids on the block - hello to you all!, and I am astounded at how productive some of you lot are! Thank you and goodnight - as they nsay.
