Knit Your Square To Give Your Share - Part 3

mioliere

Hi everyone - sorry, I've not been back on here until now. Things have just got in the way here, and I'm finding it hard to get some time to myself.

Chalky - you always have such a way with words!

Jacqui - your card are absolutely stunning, well done.

Mrs Moneypenny - what a wonderful result for your blanket, but very well deserved. Congratulations!

Pam - thanks for the instructions for your blanket - looks really easy and achievable.

Shaz - hope you're feeling a little better now. Don't forget, we are here for you.

Jean - have emailed you. Hope it's warmer in your part of France than mine! It's bright and sunny but, oh, soooo cold.

The ceiling is, apparently, coming down tomorrow, despite my trying to put it off! It means having to move my PC but I shall make sure I get it back up and running asap. Just hope I can still get to my wool, although I'm hardly turning anything out at the moment.

Thanks to you all for your totals. The update will be along soon, I promise!

Will catch up with you all later.

sc - single crochet- what british patterns call a dc ? (ie into next crochet, yarn round, pass one over, yarn round, pass remaining 2 over)
dc- double crochet- what british patterns call a tr ? (ie yarn round, into next crochet, pass one over, yarn round, pass 2 over, yarn round, pass 2 over).

I'm loving at all your pictures!

Here are two things which I have made for Christmas presents this year:








I started knitting a wrap last night too which is knitting up beautifully, it is in Sirdar Bliss and is really fluffy! Will post a pic when its finished.

My mum bought me a copy of Simply Knitting this morning, I think I am going to knit the Pudsey for the CIN raffle in school.

Wondeful pictures today -- what a clever lot!! Love all the things and its lovely to have a little peep inside other peoples work boxes !! Or perhaps I am just plain nosey !!

RED !!! I am sure it will look lovely !

We are off to see some friends about an hour away for the weekend so will be MIA for the next couple of days.

So take it easy with the "hooking" Vino Collapso and anything else that may make you lose your --- stitches !!

Orkneystar - you beat me to it.;)
Helyg - smashing toys, I just lurve the sheep.:T

Mum was fine today - happily playing Bingo when I arrived, when they finished we sat outside for a while in the lovely warm sunshine, terrific for mid October.

Time to get my tea ready - hmmm - fish finger butties today I think (yummy) - as I'm cooking properly tomorrow I can be a bit lazy today :rotfl:.

'bye for now

luv
Pam:smileyhea

Pippa.S

afternoon all :hello:

Been out and about most of the day shopping etc.
Did 2 hours ironing this AM.... can you see my halo :rolleyes::rotfl:
OH has been down to the P.O to get a parcel off to the girls, hope it does'nt get caught up in the strikes.

Chalky - ah yes thanks for asking he has settled down really well and we just love him to bits. They are coming over for Sunday lunch, looking forward to that.
Kathy - be careful with that ceiling coming down, dont forget your hard hat, mask and a mini one for Louis. I am quite short in fact very short 5'1", I always wanted to be taller with lovely long legs not short chunky ones,:rotfl: Yes its almost impossible to buy "just one" ball, you have to get a little friend (or two) for it:rolleyes:
mrs-moneypenny - Isnt that nice, congrats and well done :Tcant wait to see a pic with the edging round
f1widow - love the cards,
Pam - the blankie looks lovely what a nice colour too, Oh has been despatched to print it off for me. I have the pattern for the white one in my "to do pile" along with my UFO's
Shaz - (((hugs))) I wish you were near enough so I could deliver them in person, take heart we are here for you if needed x
ISOM - glad you finally found the one you wanted, when I saw the link someone posted I just knew it was the one you described,

Its taken me aaages to type this, I keep getting distracted by cooking Dinner and watching 'Britains Best Dish', I reckon the winners will be the Partridge and the sticky Ginger Pud, dont know about the starter though

thanks kathy and elaine for pm's and everybody for their kind thoughts.
some lovely pictures on here today. haven't done much knitting today, just sewed up my pudsey bear, he was suprisingly quick and easy to do.
prob no more knitting for few days, as things not good here.
i love my boys to bits, but they are becoming too hard for me to handle, and the bullying and violence towards me is wearing me down

Sorry to be dull...am started on the cozy but forgot to count the rows...how do I count them - is a bobble a row or is it best to count down side of stitch?

Thanks pippa...I knew it was "mine" the moment I saw it lol! I love it so much I may even make me one!!

Hello everyone, thank you for all your friendly greetings and kind words about Pudsey.

Mioliere, thanks for the Wooligans email. I had a quick look just to check the link but won't be able to have a proper look for a couple of days as I have a busy weekend planned.
