Evening all! In haste as just back from babysitting for Weezl and am ready for bed! Blanket has been passed over - i was happy with it but have to say was glad to finish as (despite misconception!!) it seemed to take an age! Possible not helped by fact that it was just a few cols. I am now doing a babette one for me with Noro which im enjoying so far - am just doing different sizes squares in two hues of wool and think/hope/pray it will be delicious! First thing Ive made for me. Mum finished the baby blanket which is gorgeous and Ill try do a piccy when I suss how to get it in as its huge!!
Welcome home chalky!
Hugs for you Pippa - hope you have a lovely day tomorrow!
Havent for gotten the hooks but finally managed to get envelopes today that they fit into so will get those to both of you asap...huge apologies for taking SOOOO long!
Poor mum has sprained her ankle and has been away for a few days bridge thing she had booked for ages and planned to see friends and start sorting flat but its knocked her confidence again and she was quite weepy and finally agreed to let me pick her up tomorrow after work so its off to Weston I go but hope not to be back too late!
Socky hang in there; just take things a day at a time. You did answer pm btw. Will have a think!
ok must go to bed! cold now on chest and need more beauty sleep to fight looming chest infection! big hugs all!

Chalky needles, wool and sunshine, what more could a girl ask for.

ISOM your poor Mum, as if she hadn't got enough, give her extra hugs from me. Good luck with flat sorting, that's a hard job.

Shaz hope you're feeling a bit better, any news on getting some help?

Maytaurus thinking of you.

Keep warm everyone, and try to stay dry on a horrid wet day.

Happy birthday Pippa

I've just posted off my first knitted boob - it was a Christmas design for the Tommee Tippee appeal on Loving Hands - thank you Mrs Moneypenny for pointing me in the right direction.

So far my charity knitting comprises the boob and 6 comfort dolls that I plan to send to Icross in Canada. I wish I had my digital camera with me (it's in storage - boo) so I could take pics of all these things I'm making. I seem to be finishing an item off every night these last couple of weeks!

Thank you all for the warm welcome. I shall be asking you for more charity knitting ideas as soon as my arms stop aching from this latest lot

Happy Birthday, Pippa - have a great day! :bdaycake:

I've only just got back from working on the pig farm getting the cafe ready for the Farmer's Market and Christmas Fayre on the 20th. It's been hard work but a lot of fun. There's still loads to do so I'll be going back out there over the next couple of days, and I've volunteered DH, too.

It hasn't stopped raining here today - Chalky, you must be getting the only sun in Europe!

Hugs to everyone who would like one.

Will pop in again later.

Oh Kathy and Shaz it is sooooo lovely to hear some bright tones in your posts-- I think things have been a bit tough for so many lately I am just hoping that things will get a bit brighter all around our little gang!

Lots of gentle thoughts to all those still struggling with hands overflowing.

I will whisper that the skies are blue and it was balcony time in bikini --- blisssss. Market day tomorrow and I cant wait as I have missed all the produce so much.

Buster is reunited with DD1 and her partner and DD2 is fine and working -- so all well there.

I am really taken by the Kenya school challenge so am going to work on it for the next 5 weeks there.
Love to all x
