Knit Your Square to Give Your Share - PART 4

Kinsey

Good to have you back Pippa, yes we missed you. How lovely, getting used to being waited on. Pleased you had a nice time, you must tell us more.

I asked a while back if anyone could help me out with this and I've been searching ever since with no luck

I've made a crochet blanket out of squares for a friend and need some small & simple (3.5" max), preferably flat creatures to go on it.
Time is now of the essence, she is re-locating to US around Christmas time and wants to take it with her then.

I am looking for :
Crab
lobster
starfish
sea shell
fish
etc;
They need to be simple, flat and small.
If anyone can help I'd really appreciate it. I've spent so much time looking for these that I could have made several other blankets in that time. I really am having no luck.
Thanks in advance

In quick as I have tons of apples - I kid you not, so have popped up to pull a couple of extra recipes, also check what's happening here, if I don't remember to say ISOM have a great holiday, we lived in Italy for quite a few years and loved it, fingers crossed that you get good weather too.
PIPPA - lovely to see you back, hope that holiday was restful, you could always advertise for waiter? Not sure you would get one tho'
Right being yelled at to GO AND DO SOMETHING WITH THE APPLES so will scoot, call back a bit later tho' ye all have a big cuddle from me in the meantime

Hi there; a flying visit from me, too. The electrics have been off for most of the day while DH sorts out another corner of the kitchen. He's just had to go out for some more bits so I thought I'd take a chance and log on here.

ISOM - have a lovely time in Italy; it's a beautiful country.

LilacLillie - looks like the lovely Kinsey has sorted you out. We would love to see a photo of the finished blanket!

Pippa - welcome back to you. It's not the same here without you!

Well, we seem to think we're getting near the end of all the work here, then we think of something else to do. Yesterday, the latest plan meant moving some bookcases around and, of course, that meant moving all the books, too, so it ended up taking up most of the afternoon and evening.

We had visitors this morning, so that put paid to getting any work done before lunch but it was nice to sit and chat over several cups of coffee.

Well, I need to unplug everything again for DH to do the electrics. With any luck this will be the last of it.

Jean - hope your apples were OK!

Me again
thanks for the welcomes back

ISOM - have a lovely,lovely time in Italy. We loved it when we docked last week,it's such an old and historic place very crumbly but so much to see, relax and enjoy :cool:
kathy - are the leaks all sorted now? your lovely barn will be gorgeous when its finished and it will have been worth all the disruptions.
shaz - hope things are ok with you and the boys
Jean - just love apples they are so versatile, baked, stewed,apple crumble, upside down cake, sauce,turnovers,dumplings ooo so many ways. Yep I think you are right waiters are few and far between, question is could I afford it...no way :rotfl:
chalky - glad you had a nice time.That cowl sounds really good I must have a go at that for a few chrissy pressies.
Kinsey - love the links some real nice patterns there
May :hello:
MrsTwins - love the blankets,I have done the square for the 2nd Jan Eaton blanket so I will send it off to you next week with some other squares I did before I went away.
shelley - (((hugs))) for you and your Mum x

Think I'll have a go at sorting my little balls out, I did use up quite a few on the IS hats but suddenly seem to have a load more.
