Mrs Moneypenny - that sounds like a wonderful idea for a great cause. I wish you good luck with it, and would love to see a photo of the finished result - just 67 more squares to go, so not long then! These links may be helpful?

Haven't posted for a while,lots of stuff going on here but I do look most days.
Had to post today to send thoughts to Elaine.
Not sure when I am supposed to be updating totals now. My totals in my signature are correct, but I can list them here if you want me to.

Hope we hear some good news soon but of course at times like this Elaine will be far too busy to deal with us but at least when she logs in next she will see all our thoughts and prayers which I hope will give her some strength.

Best wishes to everyone else

Hi Chalky - yes, we're all waiting to hear some good news. Elaine is probably at the hospital all the time at the moment. What a dreadful time for her; I just wish we could be there to offer our support in person.

Craftlady - good to hear from you. I'll make a note to take your updates from your sig. I try and update on a Monday nowadays, to give people the weekend to get their totals added, but sometimes circumstances intervene and I am not always on time!

Afternoon everyone. Let's hope that all is well with Elaine and that no news is good news......... I'm sure she knows that we are all thinking of her and her family and that if we could be with her we would.
Take care. Special hugs to all.

Elaine - just to let you know I am thinking of you and sending (((hugs))) and prayers to you all x

L C Wilson - hope things are a bit easier for you all now (((hugs)))

Craftlady - nice to see you

better go get Lunch then off to see DGS.
Hoping to get a good knitting night in tonight while I watch Torchwood, I did manage to get 1 bunting finished and another started at my friends last night, and I want to finish a little jumper I have on pins.

A friend of mine gave me a lovely pattern for a boys sleeveless slip-over so I want to have a go at that as well.

Have good days all

In Search of Me-- Hedgehogs are really easy and you will love them. So glad to be passing the addiction on !!!

Hi Insearchofme
Chalky is right, the hedgies are easy - though I'd never "turned" before they are straightforward. Post if you get stuck, the pattern is here

http://www.barddance.org/knittering/blueshedgehogpattern.htm

and best of all they make you smile when you knit them!
And as you can see by Chalky's collection, they look fab in all colours so don't feel restricted to realistic colours.
If you're feeling adventurous, here is a boob pattern

and again, nobody is worried about "proper" colours - apparently the midwives like the bonkers ones :cool:. Top boob tip - cast on and knit a bit loosely which makes the increases a bit easier.
Let us know how you get on
Have just checked the boob link and it doesn't seem to be working - the original link is on post 964 of the thread - page 49 - sorry not sure how to stick a shortcut to it
