Knit Your Square to Give Your Share - PART 4

mioliere

Pippa - I will keep you and OH in my thoughts. I didn't do the update last week, or the week before, so that's why the numbers haven't changed! I'm really sorry, everyone, that I didn't get it done. I'll have more time from now on because DH is working - and not on our house! - from tomorrow, so I'll have no interruptions; well, that's the plan!

Shaz - I am so pleased you decided to get Jack; he sounds wonderful and I'm sure that even Josh will get to love him because he's just a puppy, and Jack Russells don't get too big, do they? It's fantastic that Daniel now had a much-wanted dog in his family. I'm sure he'll bring you all a lot of happiness! Can't wait to see some photos!

Jean - the blanket is gorgeous!

ISOM - please don't forget some piccies of your decopatch!

Well, I've spent the afternoon placing adverts on a French site for some friends of ours who are selling lots of stuff, so that has been a bit of a work-up, loading photos and so on. Ever since our other friend's house sold within four days of me placing the advert for her, everyone here thinks I'm a lucky omen,and DH keeps volunteering me!

Anyway, off to turn the spuds over in the oven; good old British roast, done with French ingredients I know, but a roast all the same!

enjoy the roast kathy, jacket spuds here today, somet quick and easy. daniel is cuddled up with jack at mo. my biggest worry at mo is house training, his bed has been weed in and it in wash as i type. will need to get a new camera or a lead for existing one, before i can post pics.
jack russels are small when fully grown, which is ideal for me
love the blanket roaming.
spuds ready so best go
hugs to all

evening lovely people

have not long returned from a couple of nights and days at my cousins - toooooooooooooooo much retail therapy and food:rotfl: I did take a hook and some wool but I am afraid it never saw the light of day.

Chalky - those hats are beautiful - well done to your MIL :A

Notjustlaura - welcome to this wonderful thread

Nic73 well done on completing your square:T

Shaz - (((hugs))) glad to see you are brighter - I hope you are still looking at alternative properties and asked the universe for the one you want - it can happen - you can make it happen - and congratulations on your new arrival - jack sounds adorable.:D
I am please that Daniel has taken an interest and maybe Joshua will come round to liking jack in time.

Pippa hugs for you both xx thinking of you two and hoping everything goes well with the treatment (((hugs)))

Wow a whole lot of knitting and crocheting going on:A

The weekend has just flown by but before DD and DSG arrived managed to finish off 9 gowns for babies born asleep, 11 bonnets as well and 3 hats for preemies in ICU. They have been sent off with her so I will start knitting again soon.

Over the last few days in odd 5 minutes here and there have managed 10 emergency squares.:)

mrs-moneypenny

took my IS hats down to the local age concern shop they were really pleased
not donne any knitting this weekend as trying to get the neeldecase for my friend crossstitched

Hi everyone

Shaz - hope Jack is doing well.

It's a lovely sunny morning so far; DH has started the job he quoted for last week, so I have the house to myself and no DIY going on in it, which is a real treat! I may even schedule in some afternoon woolly time!

Knitternan - you've been really busy! When we list our week's totals, we type it in bold red which makes it easy for me to see when I'm doing the update. The update is usually done on a Monday, using totals that have been posted up until midnight on the Sunday. Unfortunately, I've been so pushed for time lately that I haven't always done the update on time but I hope to put that right now that I have more time to myself. To see the update, just click into my name at the side of this post, then go to my 'homepage'. There you will see the fantastic spreadsheet that our lovely Jean (Roamin in the gloamin on here) designed for us. When I do the next update, which I hope will be some time today, I shall add your name and your items. The spreadsheet ensures that we can all keep track individually and as a group.

I'm doing IS hats at the moment simply because I've just checked the finish-by date and, as I have to get them in the post from here to the UK, I have to make sure they leave here a week before!

Tootifrooti - I usually come back with loads of wool. I visit my favourite wool shop at home and always find it difficult choosing from all the lovely colours available. There's little choice here, and that's if you can find a wool shop, and it's very expensive with not much choice.

Well, I'd better go and put the washing on the line.

Hope you are all having a good day.

Morning all, just a quick pop in to let you know I`m still here.
Nice and bright here today with some sunshine :j it`s been raining cats and dogs for the past few days so it`s a fine change.

Had a busy morning so far - 2 loads of washing done and out for some fresh air. It`ll probably need a whirl in the tumbley later though. I can promise you that there will be none of that i***ing being done here. Only when absolutely necessary - work uniform :mad:

Trip to local skip with 5 bags of rubbish from DS`s clearout yesterday - well it`s a start anyway.
Batch cooking some meals for the freezer so that DD just has to pop them in the oven and tea will be ready and waiting when I come home :T

Have to go and see FIL as haven`t been for a while so will pop to the supermarket on the way home - 2 birds with one stone.

Might even have some time to pull out some weeds as the garden rubbish recycling is collected tomorrow. Hope there are enough hours in the day............

Interwoven blanket #3 is almost finished, just have a lot of ends to sew in. Wasn`t in the mood for that malarkey last night so did a couple of geezers squares instead.

Well, coffee break is over so back to it. Will be back later once I`ve had a chance to catch up with the latest postings.

ISOM Glad the little flock got to you safely.
Sockknitter Congratulations on the puppy I’m sure he will be good company for you.
Chalky Love the blankets and am in awe of your MiL’s hats
Mrs Moneypenny The bag looks amazing
Roamin there is a lot of work in that lovely heart blanket
:hello: to all the new people
Really pleased that everyone liked the little sheep. They are really easy to make and I would put a link to where I found them, but my pc died and I had to get a new one so lost all my online saved links and have no idea where I got them from.


Apart from a dead PC had a good week, went to check out the new shopping centre at Stratford
http://uk.westfield.com/london it is huge


Sunday we went here for DH’s birthday treat

It was excellent lots of entertainment and amazing 40’s re-enactment things.
Pippas thinking of you and yours
Hugs to all the poorly peeps.

Mrs Moneypenny The bag looks amazing

thank you it was a really lucky find. i paid £1.50 for the complete kit at a carboot. the pattern wool and a rather rubbish pair of needles were included, i just needed to add the lining button and bottom reinforcing.
