Knit Your Square to Give Your Share - PART 4

mrs-moneypenny

aww love the wolves,
squares or little baby bits would be ideal for you then
you could do a little corner to corner blanket in 2ply you basically start with two stitches and on every row increase one stitch. ie knit one knit one make one then knit the rest of the row, once youve decided the blanket is big enough knit a row then knit one knit two togetther knit the rest of the row till you get back to two stitches if that makes sense.
ive just done one in 4ply for loving hadns and made mine about 12 inches square.

evening all; busy day here with meeting a friend and then housework before a snooze and then babysitting. Also been hunting for a companion for Isoke (just one) and debating which to get; pedegree or moggy. Am pretty much decided on a moggy although would love a selkirk rex cant justify the cost. Think I will then feel happier over Christmas as worried about her in a pen on her own for a week...plus I want one (or mainly cos I want one) so have been on the hunt for a grey or brown tabby...will keep you posted!
Socky thought so! Cant join you for a beer as have given up alcohol because it makes me feel so ill that its just not worth it; not saying I wont ever drink again but am concluding that I prefer to enjoy my weekend than have crashing headache after just a glass of wine!
Welcome Marru...think we may have said hello elsewhere on mse at some stage? Welcome anyway; hope you find a pattern you like. If you need wool let me know and Ill post it to you as have lots of 2 ply sitting here...will have to borrow a wool winder though as its on big cones at present!
Pippa hope Monday goes well...will be thinking of you both.
Mrs m hope more ounces are staying on the baby
hehe tooti! I thought granny would get into trouble when we went to Venice - she kicked a few people who got in her way plus pinched a waiters bum!!
Right am off to bed as church then seeing go referral man tomorrow afternoon!
hugs for those that need them.
