Hello, toots :hello:
You can run, but you can't hide

Apologies for the intrusion from a non-knitter, but I thought this special lady had stopped visiting MSE. Obviously just the few threads I look at.

Hi boultdj and its good to be nosey,

Long strips of knitting or crochet..........that are then sewn up together to make a blanket for a homeless person (takes us all far too long to do a whole blanket!)......this was launched as one of Loving Hands winter projects

Thank's for the answer roamin in the gloamin, I looked on the link's on page95 but could'nt find the answer to that, have said to OH I would like to do knitting/crochering for charity next year seeing as I'v been given a bin liner full of wool, so if you don't mind I'd like to join you ladie's for next year.

Morning all
cold and wet here again but wont need to scrape the car when we go out

Hello boultdj we don't mind nosey for me I do 12 x 6" crochet squares and stitch them into a strip, then one of the Loving Hands little elves sew them all together to make an 8 foot x 6 foot blanket, they are then distributed amongst the homeless all over the UK. Have a squizz at the link Jean has posted it will explain that and other things we get involved in, the site was started by a lovely lady named Lou, its worth a read.edit:- please do join us we love new friends here
toots - blue snow ooo how lovely it will colour co-ordinate with my blue tree in the porch :xmassmile
craftyscholar - glad you have found toots again. No appologies necessary you are welcome to pop in and out anytime
kathy - ooo not long now hows the packing going?
mrs-m - hope things are improving for you all x

I had a nice relaxing afternoon/evening, I turned on the TV and indulged in all the mushy Christmas films, got loads of knitting done as well what can be better than that

Better go OH is ready to go out so TTFN back later
Love'n' hugs to all
