Knit Your Square To Give Your Share - Part 3

Pippa.S

What a day, we have done nothing but run around all day, managed a quick nip in here earlier but then out we went again.

Did both the Mum's shopping, stocked up the freezer, went to the B.Soc,popped into poundland, went to the local smash and grab and bought some wool ....only a couple of balls though ..... and I finally got the beady eyes for my penguin, I went everywhere I could think of and found all colours but not black, called in at the drycleaners and there they were :T she has just started stocking all sorts of crafty things, including wool :eek: I'm gonna have to keep away until I've used some of my stash up,

Shelley - parcel sent to you today with a little extra towards the postage.

Maytaurus - thanks for the kind words x.Your posts just get better and better.Its always nice to see you back we miss you when you're not here

Elaine - Parcel sent to you today as well, I put a scarf in I finished yesterday, as its getting colder I thought it might be a good idea

Pam - loved the poem, scarf is lovely I've added the pattern to my favourites....another to do one.....;)

PTB - :wave:nice to see you back

I have done 2 ripple blankets a 2 stripe and a 4 stripe, not so keen on the four stripe I do like it but think the 2 looks better, may be because I used about more colours.

me too, me too :j:jI'm a bookworm, David Eddings, James Patterson(he's sometimes a bit :eek: though)Terry Pratchett, Gill Mcneil (divas dont knit) and Alan Titchmarsh (for light reading,if you have'nt read it try Rosie) Knitting, Crochet, Gardening, Cookery, Natural Remedies, Patchwork, books about all sorts.
When DS1 and 2 were younger they read some books by John Christopher it was The White Mountains trilogy so good I could'nt put them down.
I went through a time when I was never seen with out a book in my hand, nowadays it's more likely to be needles and a ball of wool:rotfl:

Ah well I am off to do another Penguin, I am getting quite fond of them.
Sorry about the long post

Thanks for the kind comments about my posts

I’ve just been looking at the pics of all your great things on Wooligans :j they’re super
Now that I’ve caught up with the thread and blogs, I will try to do my update & make a folder of my pics

[FONT=&quot] hope you are feeling better & that you got that out of your bonnet :eek:[/FONT]
‘I've been cleaning like a mad thing and now I'm exhausted!’
Oh Kathy , please try not to overdo it .... I would hate you to end up like me
(or should I say with M.E ) as everyone if the family says I burnt myself out
‘I really resent having to stop for meals - it's so time-consuming!’
I can remember when my mum used to say that she wished we could just take a food tablet l-o-l :rotfl:
‘Louis is enough of a handful as it is! He's such a character, ... I caught him hanging from the top one with his legs pressed desperately against the door, trying to find where the chicken was ..’
Are you sure he wasn’t trying to help?

‘Dixon of Dock Green’ ? Who’s he ?
(Another Wooligan giving her age away)
Your scarf is lovely & colours really beautiful, but afraid you wouldn’t get me to knit one in 4 ply !

psso
Glad my post made you laugh
I can’t believe you had to scrape the car windows

‘Stash seems to be growing ... how does that happen?? ‘
Don’t ask me .... are sealed !

In Search Of Me
‘put leccy blanket on’ It’s only October ..... my daughters had hers on as well !
I always used to be freezing, but since my ME got bad, I’m usually boiling ... & will go & sit outside in just my pj’s
Family all say that when I was asking them if they wanted to bring their drink into the garden,
was when they knew I really must be ill, I must say it is strange after always being the one who wanted the heating on first and an xtra duvet on my bed
re; ‘Off to hunt out a knitting pattern pour moi!!’
Don’t we have to ask permission to make things for ourselves?

‘I'll try to put a photo on wooligans but I might have to wait until one of my sons comes to visit!’

go here http://imageshack.us/
It's the easiest, peasiest, honest :j
You don't have to join up or give any of your details
Just click on browse .... search for your piccy in your photo file .... double click on it and it will load up
Then when it's done, look at the top of the page,
where it says Direct link to image .... copy it

click on the image in the reply box that you use to post on here & paste it ..... hey presto

Your piccy will appear

re ‘ you could be prime minister (I wish).’
I’m sure I could do a better job than the one we’ve got & the £ would be useful l-o-l
Puppy seems to be OK & he’s been going in one of the out buildings at night ... not nice, but I hope he’s warmer in there
‘If I start on Pet Tales of the Unexpected I'll end up with a book, but I guess we all could.’
Oh please, ..... don’t start a thread ..... I’ll have to keep up with that one as well

Hope you didn’t get hurt

Drive safely and enjoy your trip :j
Re ‘my SILs visit - she is the clean queen, dust does not even float past her house as it would be nuked before it got anywhere close’
Can you find out what her secret is as I find dust very insistent on landing ?!?

Hope your ripple blanket is going well
Couldn’t you claim for the freezer contents on your house insurance ? (sympathys), these things always seem to happen when you’ve just stocked up :mad:

You’ve been a busy
You take care of yourself as well

Hi Maytaurus

Hope you are having a good day. I wonder who was up the earliest this morning? I woke up at around 2.30am, tried to go back to sleep but just had to get up to have a cuppa and have been awake ever since! Still, I've managed to update my blog with some photos, so I've not wasted the time!

The pattern links are wonderful - I've been looking for a panda pattern for ages; pandas are my DGD's favourite animals, so thanks for that, although she probably won't get it until next Christmas! I love the elephants, especially the circus one, and the lovely baby cardi. I don't know where you find all the patterns but we are all glad you do! I did do a bit too much yesterday, I must admit! The thing is that DH has been working on the house all week and the dust he makes, which I know is unavoidable, gets to a stage where it really annoys even me, and then I go on a mad damp-dusting spree. He does try to seal things off but dust will always find a way, won't it? It made me tired but I was happy just to look at shiny clean surfaces again!

I'm going to try your advice about Imageshack - I've never been able to post photos on here, but will have a go in a minute!

ISOM - I'm glad the knitting group went well. Five is really good for a first meeting; good luck with building it up in the future and please keep us up to date with it!

See you all later.

Hey, Maytaurus - it worked! First of all the picture was too big, so I went back to Imageshack and found that I could resize it and, hey presto - my first ever photo on MSE! Thank you, thank you, thank you - you truly are a star!

The photo is the ripple blanket I'm making for DGS for Christmas. I realised last night that I had made a mistake on the second row, so I had to start it again.
