Knit Your Square to Give Your Share - PART 4

roamin_in_the_gloamin

Mrs Moneypenny - thanks for the hug I really did need it.
That blocked drain is a proper PAIN.... It's taken both of us most of the day to just get it to drain the water away. DH is thoroughly sick of it - threatening a man or a digger and a new drain.... it isn't even ours, but as the wash handbasin from our boiler room runs into it and I use that sink when I have been in the garden, he feels we should at least try and clear it. It's choked with leaves and grit nearly the whole length when it leaves our courtyard. Simple solution would be we remove the sink in the boiler room - but if it all continues to back up any time it rains its our courtyard that will be flooded. So we have given up for the day and perhaps have another go at it later in the week (HE SAID YEAR).
Lots of Love and squishy cuddles (yep I am giving them away as well) to you all. Off for a shower and change of clothes, a stiff drink and something to eat

Mrs Moneypenny..... I spent a part of the weekend doing a spreadsheet for the little heart in the middle of the big heart - shall I send you it?? Think I have your email addy on the main pooter. I hope to fold it today sometime - husband allowing me time to myself instead of DRAINS!
This OFFER goes for anyone else who would like to try it.........I just need your email addy - I did try saving it onto my google drive account but the spreadsheet goes to pot on the transfer!
Hitting knitting machine today - hats in September I believe as its getting slightly colder. Loads of Love and Cuddles to you all

that's page two of the link explaining how to do (heart in a heart) but I got lost with the page numbers - that's why I have done a spreadsheet to work out where to start in the book etc........

mrs-moneypenny

wow a spreadsheet im impressed. thank you so much, i did find it after i posted aqbout not finding it ..too impatient is my trouble. ive had a go but its not quite as crisp a heart as the single one. and i didnt get my start point right so ive a few more pages at the back spare so it looks slightly uneven. just going to 'jazz' that one

Hi everyone

Mrs Twins - your blog is looking fantastic!

Chalky - hope DD1 is recovering well and not in too much pain. I have pm'd you to ask if I can send you some mandalas for your September project. I think the cost of posting a shirt will be horrendous from here, but I would like to contribute so thought perhaps sending some mandalas would be something I could send that would be lightweight.

Jean - I will get round to trying the book-folding; at the moment it's on the back-burner but I have three whole days to myself next week, so should be able to set aside some time. Great spreadsheets! I don't envy you your drain problem; it sounds a real pain.

Mrs Moneypenny - your book-folding looks brilliant. Well done! Hugs to your MIL.

I will do the update tomorrow. Again, it's turning into a busy week here. I think I mentioned that DH will be working in the south of France from about 15th September; I will be going with him which will be a lovely break for me, especially as we will do a bit of travelling when he has finished his work. Meanwhile, I am earning the break by organising deliveries of all the building materials that are needed for the job, and liaising with suppliers. I don't mind but it's time-consuming because some of the stuff needs to come from the UK. Once that is all organised, I just have to decide what woolly projects to take with me, to do while I am lounging around the swimming pool, and in between bouts of bike-riding, eating and drinking!
