Knit Your Square To Give Your Share - Part 3

Pippa.S

Hiya
Just popped back to post update, friends OH left an hour or so ago, he is looking better now but still lost without her.
Dotty has left a big hole in all our lives, after being friends for 42 yrs its like losing a member of the family.

UPDATE
1 -SCARF
1 - CARDI
1 - BALACLAVA (I'll just count it under sailors hats its easier, I am running out of room in my sig)


Packing all done, and I am all plucked and shaved and smooth. I will have a pedicure on board (my one luxury) with some money left from Christmas.

We are meeting DS2,DIL and DGS on the docks in Southampton tomorrow lunch time.I am really looking forward to being with him for so long, 11 days :j It's a really big ship this time have'nt been on one this size before, got a good deal though so OH is pleased.

Well better go get dinner sorted, its a fridge cleaning meal tonight....sausages,tomatoes,chips and a 1 egg omlette between us should be interesting :rotfl:

edit again:

TTFN see you all around the 6thMay.

Anne, hope its a lovely holiday for you all
Chalky, glad your home safe and sound
Maytaurus - please please don't post links this week, I need to finish all my stuff and pack and well everything is just too much and I would much rather look at the links you post but that won't get me a holiday in the UK now will it?
Moiliere have a great time with the family visiting

TOTALS
8 teds - still sewing them up-
4 Animal blankets (using all my scraps up)
13 chalky squares (but we know now they ain't)
1 bunny blanket buddy (ALL TOYS)- WHAT A MARE THAT WAS!

I will now go and continue to stitch up the teddies not too bad a job but I should have done them as they were coming of the knitting machine instead of a big pile!
Photo probably tomorrow, sewing in the thread ends on the blankets and no doubt that will take me all evening.

tootiefrooti- ment to say - loads of Loving Hands folk are intending to go to Scone- perhaps see you there

anne, have a lovely holiday
chalky, glad you arrived safely
been knitting away on a lacy blanket for LH, and have spotted a mistake, it will be a nightmare to pull out and pick up the stitches, so i've put it down for tonight. will not do another lacy pattern for a while thats for sure. was wondering if i could get away with leaving the mistake, but i decided i better not
hugs all

Hi everyone.

Welcome to Seea78 - good to have you with us. I hope you enjoy it here!

Maytaurus - good to hear from you. Thank you for some fantastic links! Where on earth do you find them all?

Chalky - so glad you arrived back safe and sound.

Pippa - if you're reading this, have a great trip.

Shez - well done; you're a braver gal than me!

Well, DS2 and his lovely family arrived here after a long day - five hours on the boat and another five or so hours on the road. It's absolutely lovely to have them here and we are really going to enjoy their company. The baby is gorgeous - really smiley, chatty and very mobile - she doesn't like sitting still for long so we shall have to find lots for her to do! DIL has made lots of little pots of homemade food for her which they transported in an icebox and which are currently in the freezer, all labelled. It must have taken her ages to do, bless her! We were all tired out last night but still had time for a couple of beers before bed. I think we will probably take it easy today and just take them around the local village, then plan some trips for the week.

Well, will catch up with you later. I'm going to take a cuppa back to bed!

then i'm going to sort out a big parcel for shelly, me and my mum have made lots burial buntings, and my mum has made quite a few preemie blankets, have managed to find some similar wool for teds, so they will be finished off too, sorry they took so long, but life kinda got int he way
have joined the flylady thread, as i need motivation to get my house in order again, and decluttering my pile of knitting is my first step.
hope everybody has a good day
