Knit Your Square To Give Your Share 2009!

mioliere

Hi Orkney Star - you're not too late! I'll go back and add your latest items after I've finished this post. Youj haven't messed the list up, so don't worry. You must be truly addicted now if you carried on knitting after a night out! I haven't done one of the cribs so I've no idea how easy they are. I know some of the girls on here have, so one will surely be along later to tell you about it.

I'm working fast on my DGD1's Christmas lap blanket, and hope I can carry on with it while our visitors are here. I've made sure the difficult bit has been done and I'm on stripes in treble crochet, which will mean that I can talk at the same time! I don't want to have to lose a week now that Christmas seems to be looming up!

Anyway, off to add to the update list.

Hi everyone,

Orkney star, Which crib pattern are you going to try? I made Lorna's crib pattern on the preemie'suk site and that was really easy to follow took me a while to make but I'm not that fast a knitter especially when it's plain knit and purl, thats only cos I get bored easy though.

Mioliere, I hope the weather improves for you for when your friends arrive and that you manageto get sorted in time.

Pippa, have fun at your party(goes without saying really doesn't it?) and for your time at the van.

ISOM, Hope you are ok, good luck with the car boot.

Maytaurus/Mioliere, Loved all your words re: children and they are so true aren't they/.

Right I'm going to finish off printing my patterns now I've got some more ink, got no plans this weekend other than to knit. Heaven.
Have a good day all.x

hi there,
Am just back from filling car for car boot (groundhog day?) and knitting group -two of us but ts nice to have a proper natter and weve both started on preemie hats! Pattern was a bit suss so start not great but its improved. Hope they dont have to be perfect or should I undo and start again? Feel maybe I should?!
Mum coming later and a bit more sorting and car filling but definately less than there was!! Feeling shattered physically so am hoping for a snooze in a bit and a relaxed night this eve...hugs those that need them!

Evening everyone :wave:

Have just finished the packing, and the washing and the ironing :eek:.....love ironing I do .....NOT :rolleyes:

Been to the 2 Mums today and sorted them out for the next week while we are away, everything all cleaned up beds changed and so much food in their flats are bursting at the seams :rotfl:better too much than not enough for them as they cant get out to do their own shopping.

Kathy - thank you so much for the heartwarming word's, bought a tear to my eye I can tell you and how true they are :A
Have a lovely time with your visitors, lots of laughs, lots of food, and LOTS of "vino collapsio" :beer:
Pam - what a lovely pattern, another must do for me....but when thats the question..... :rolleyes: must go have a look at it.

May - What lovely words of wisdom, they certainly make you think dont they?:D Indian Summer yippppeeeee:j:j:j ooooooooo I hope so
Elaine - had a quick look at Knitwell, the prices are really good, will have a proper look when I have more time, errrmmm and when I have room for more wool :rolleyes:

Not sure if I will be back in before I go to the party tomorrow, but will try and get back afterwards.
It starts at 3.00 and finishes around 7.00 as there will be lots of littlies there and they will need their bed's....the way I feel at the mo they are'nt the only one's:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Have good evenings all

Hi Pippa - I'll add your items tomorrow. I'm glad you liked the words - they're some of my favourite quotations. I'm so glad that your loving family has given a precious little boy a real life with a real family that he might not have had if he hadn't met your DS and DIL. I hate to think of a child growing up without being part of a family - it's so important.

I hope you have a brilliant time at the party and the van!

I'm knee deep in getting ready for our visitors - we popped in to see some friends today with the intention of just having a coffee - four hours and a lovely home made soup and cake for lunch later - we arrived home having lost half the day. But it was a lovely lunch in good company, so I wouldn't have missed it.

I'll catch up with you all tomorrow.

Have a great evening.
