K2tog - I thought for a minute you were going to post your children to Chalky!!

If I thought there was a chance she'd take delivery of them.....:rotfl:

No, not at that stage yet - but there are quite a few weeks of the holidays left!

Here are my squares, (sorted the pic size!!, it is just a linky instead now!) :o I like the bigger square best I think, but I think all the squares so far are great and Chalky has done a great job in sewing them all together so far. I will be sending these two off tomorrow as soon as I can.

Best wishes to all!

update for me!

1 Memory square. 15 x 15 inches



haven't been able to get much done last two weeks as had both children ill with tonsilitis and that equals lack of sleep in great measures!

Both are better now so am going to be trying my hand at some vent hats this coming week. sorry if my update is a bit late.

Hi everyone, hope you are all well today.

Chalky, posted my squares to you this morning. The pictures look good already!

Shezmit, the squares arrived this afternoon, will sew them up and get them back hopefully next week. I've just got a couple of boobs to finish first. Will buntings be ok in brushed wool? I've done one and will send it to you to have a look before I make any more.

I love the idea of knitting skittles and balls for christmas , I have loads of odd little bits in bright colours that will be just right. Kathy and Pam, thanks for the patterns, I can't decide which ones to do first, they all look good.

hugs to all

I am very sorry all for stretching the page! will try and reduce the pic size a bit so it is better.


Shezmit - do you want me to sew the aaron squares i already have together for you? if so, how many squares to a blanket? I can do this if it will help?

Purple Teddy Bear - I'm sorry it was your turn for the mistake this week! I've gone back and corrected it. To save space, I add all the different baby hats together (vent, stretchy, plain, and so on) so your baby hats all together come to 16.

DON - I've added your Memory Square.

Thanks everyone.

Thanks for the sympathies with the shawl....I was absoluetey gutted! Took a half day today and done some housework and popped to the shop...sussed where I went wrong...when you add a bead you have to pull thread forwards, bead, then back..I hadnt put it back so effectively added a stitch each bead!! Will make a scarf for her bday and now have new trurquoise wool (shade 582, kidsilk haze for those interested!) for the shawl which I will do for Christmas...
heres a linky to the book

MIOLIERE – yep managed all of 30 minutes today all to myself DH is back from the tour de France final in Paris so he took the little darlings off while I caught up with some clearing up – yep Net knows she owes me big time – her birth mum is due here for a holiday 17th August and she wants her house to be immaculate (lost on me that one).
F1 WIDOW – sling a label round there necks pack underwear and post them off to me – I just love an excuse not to be doing cleaning, IRONING, washing etc
LC WILSON – you are registered as a sweatshop aren’t you? I just am amazed at how you manage
PRFUNGI- thanks for the links not sure about the skittles my crochet is still pants, so I am toying with the idea of sewing some up in denim and seeing how they work out, will keep you all informed on that one, do you really think I have any chance of DH making skittles? Not even if I blackmail him!
K2TOG- I do the save pattern and then forget where it is only to find like you when I really want it it has magically disappeared – even tho’ I have folders marked patterns!
IN SEARCH OF ME – think I wrote the book on ripping back stuff, no matter how many times I tell myself I am not capable of following the instructions I obviously know better so will continue to rip back.
DPIXIE – you have obviously found the “fatal flaw” in the keeping horses plan – no doubt
MAYTAURUS will come up with a cunning way to keep the flies out of the house tho’ so I await that input shortly.
CHALKY 75 – wow my squares look far better sewn in than they did at my house – those blankets are going to look the “mutts nuts” when done (sorry, please forgive me-I only just learned of that expression and needed to use it).
EVERYONE – running out of ME TIME so hope if you are going on holiday, you enjoy yourselves, if you are poorly – you are soon on the mend, if you are sad, alone or miserable in any way, keep reading all of the posts on this forum – good friends are hard come by I just seem to have fallen on my feet with you all. Dinner time here, then baths for all then see if I can stuff the boys into bed at a reasonable time.
