Knit Your Square to Give Your Share - PART 4

Hi ,

Link worked for me, pretty white blanket, lacy sort of pattern.

Easy sort of pattern which looks more complicated than it is.

Back later, off to see what`s been happening.

Evening all! Well..um I suspect that I may purchase some wool...looked in depth at the cols she did in her grogeous one and alas, they are not me cols so Im going to see tom whether I can get a few more balls and continue with what I have. I will have to learn the join as you go method though but surely it cant be that difficult!
Disaster is that ive just had to ring the emergency dentist and now am the proud owner of a-nigh-on-impossible-weekend-appointment for 11:30 tomorrow morning! Alas poor tooths been throbbing (had to take pain killers at 4am this morning) and I now cant press on tooth so say one for me please!
Well done girlies for finding the pattern...I do like a bit of teamwork!
Hope all ok F1, Mrs M, May and Miol with poorly people...
Wondering how Chalky is on her travels! Bet shes having a whale of a time!
What have people got planned for weekend? I have baysitting tom night (ie pay for wool!) and a baby shower in afternoon...church on Sun all being well but will get it ready just in case so someone can stand in for me!

evenin all, isom, (((big hugs))) i know how painful toothache can be, hope it is sorted for you tomorrow, i will mention u in my prayers
f1, hope ds is better soon
roamin, sorry to hear your shopping trip didnt go as planned, i really feel for all of you in france, not being able to buy what you wish to
confession time, called to see my friend who has the wool stall, he was stock taking, counting all the balls etc, so to make life easier for him, i took a few balls, just to save him having to count them:rotfl:
i got 3 balls hayfiels aran, in cherry red, for a long cabled cardi for me
i got 6 assorted balls of sock wool, handy for portable knitting on the go
20 balls of james c brett cool cotton, 10 in green and ten in a orangy red colour, both for tops for me.
8 balls baby wool, pink blue, lilac, lemon, mint white and two multi coloureds, all for charity baby cardigans and hats, should keep me busy for a while
hugs all

Alas only managed to rescue one ball of wool and she'll try order the rest...soundy like socky made up for my feeble attempts though!! Tooth been cleaned and temp filled but I suspect its root canal as still v painful so been told tooth probably too far gone worst case scenario will be removal which will leave me with 1 back tooth...Going to have a lie down as feeling a bit delicate after 2 lots of anasthetic and also have a numb eye!

socky, at the moment you are my hero and the person i most want to be like - you have access to wool, you can rescue it and you can knit socks!

have a lovely day everyone, its pouring here, so i am inside with a good book and someone who has read one too!!!
