    Now I am in quandry - do I put

    J H Pless - Glasgow

    or

    Jean - East Dunbartonshire

    Still to graph it and see. Probably best the Glasgow one (as its shorter).
    Decisions, decisions.

    Kind wishes

    sweetcarer ;)

    PS French knots - argh - don't feel mine are strong enough.

    Jean - Glasgow :D

    No problem at all, I'm happy to PM my address to anyone that wants to take up that offer and then I could post all the squares in one go to Lellypants. ;)

    I started my square today, so here's today's lunchtime progress:

    It's my lunchtime cross-stitch, so hopefully at least 20 minutes a day, depending on weather I need the internet or not.
