wow it actually all worked - pattern collected from website, photo nabbed from Chalky's posting stuck it all together - I am feeling pretty chuffed with myself this morning. Hope you are all having a great day, we have no rain so I really should try and make the effort to get some of the outstanding outside jobs done - there again I might just knit! xxxx

Thanks Jean. I am having a little mini obsession with these cute little carries at the moment. I have decided as they are for such wee ones only to use the softest yarn and it's such a pleasure to knit with. I am going to add a little embroidery detail to the next one.

We are going to Spain for a fortnight tomorrow with Andy's sister and her husband. There is a special Fiesta going on called the Moors and Christians. All VERY NOISY , NO health and safety and good fun .

mrs Moneypenny what a brilliant cause. I bet your blanket is super .

Love to one and all xxx

Morning all, hope everyone is well.
Finished the blanket this morning as I couldn't sleep.

Well done Mrs Moneypenny - you did it in time! looks terrific too. I am having internet connectivity problems I believe the are digging up the street in the nearest little village and that ain't helping me one jot..... all fine for about 5 minutes try to do something on line and it all goes to RATS. It's been going on for a couple of days now with no let up - they obviously work at their own rate. Consolation is they won't work weekends so perhaps I can catch up with everyone and everything I am making a list of stuff I needed to look up or order on line today so will get around to it over the weekend. Loads of love and squishy cuddles to you all.

Thats a pretty blanket Mrs MP.

Im totally addicted to Marinnes patterns and the little cardi Chalky did too. Im going to make up a parcel for St Marys soon. They also fit dolls and some teddies so are very useful for dressing toys up. I sent a wee parcel to Operation Orphan the other day so feeling happy about that. Dd is being given loads of baby clothes and those she doesnt keep or pass on are going to the Cs's but Im pinching the socks and vests for parcels as its the basics people need I think.

Just got my Stylecraft special yarn with my Amazon voucher so am starting a set for my future DGD - so exciting :T:T:T:T

Hi, everyone

The cardies are lovely, and have even got me knitting again after years of being unable to due to pain; Maytaurus suggested I just aim for knitting small things, and I've almost finished one of the cardies, so I need to thank Maytaurus for the suggestion, and Chalky for finding the pattern, and the encouragement of everyone else. Jean, did you have to put the photo on Flickr first before uploading it on here?

Mrs Moneypenny - that blanket is gorgeous. Do you think you couldn't sleep because it was on your mind? How is Alfie, by the way?

Jean - I hope they've stopped digging up your road by now. Well, they won't work Saturdays, will they?

Chalky - hope you have a lovely time in Spain.

Well, the heatwave we were promised lasted a whole day - it was baking hot and sunny all day yesterday, but today we have light cloud and no sun at the moment. Hope it's better for the rest of you.

Lots of hugs to you all.

Morning all
Hope everyone is well
Alfie is gorgeous, he's started smiling now babbling and sort of giggling now I've not seen him this week as they are off to a wedding but I was on the phone to DD2 yesterday and could hear him in the background.
He's been swimming and wriggly readers this week apparently. He has a better social life than me!!
I think it was probably because I was thinking about the blanket needed to be finished that I couldn't sleep Kathy I'm pleased with how it's turned out and am happy to help such a good cause.
How is Sam? As well as can be I hope.

Hugs to all just got to put the shopping away now and get mils ready to take round to hers. Weather not as nice as it was yesterday here, it's quite windy.

We had the girls with us for a few days a week ago, we had a wonderful time...it is always so sad and we miss them so much when we take them back but the times we have together are priceless :happylove

I have been working on and off at the Lily Pond but ooo its tricky and there is a lot to it I've just started on part 4 of 8 and I am one part behind already :eek:...BUT it wont beat me !!!

mrs-moneypenny - Alfie sounds a happy little chap...I bet its all the cuddles. Blanket looks gorgeous well done.I love the flower power daisy-chains they will go down well
Ginnyknit - Hows the hand now? hope it is calming down. Sounds like you have been busy on the charity knits.
azzabazza - I didn't realise you are over on fb, but I am not that good on there...except at Pearls Peril :rotfl:
chalky - You have made a wonderful job of gathering all our squares together and making a beautiful blanket of them all, Sam will love it. I love your tiny baby cardies
Jean - thanks for putting the pattern on for the cardies I missed it on fb goodness knows how

Well I better go and get Lunch in the oven or we will waste away....hmmm may not be a bad idea dropping a few pounds before we go away...I will have loads of clothes that fit then :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Love to you all and enjoy the rest of the day Annie xx
