    Hi Ladies,
    If you would like to pop over to SIBOL, you will see three gorgeous blankets that 'insearchofme' has assembled for me. They are super!

    Chalky, unfortunately I haven't been able to see pippa yet to collect the blankets. I've had the girls off this week. I'm sorry. But as soon as things are back to normal we will arrange something.

    Thank you insearchofme, three beautiful blankets and I am very grateful to you.

    Love suex

    Hi anakat .... Lovely to see you popping in.
    Try and do a good deed every day.
  • Great that the blankets arrived safe and sound Mrs Twins! While not a fan of brown I became a convert and was happiest with the brown blanket...alas orange is my least fave color but was happy with the result!!

    Lovely blankets ISOM :T i love the SIBOL site its so pretty and full of hope. really makes you feel good.

    Chalky the stars you made I looked at the pattern and it doesnt say how to do the increases, if I m1 it gets holey and if I inc in the next st it looks knobby, what am I doing wrong - sorry to sound like a dummy but they look so neat and mine dont :o

    Janet, can I send some scarves, for OCC, will they be of use, they are not too chunky so wont take up much room. I had your address as I meant to send things last year but didnt manage it.

    hugs to all a very sleepy ginny xx

    I am really getting my eyes opened on this thread :) It's just amazing all the beautiful things that are made. Thanks for putting photos on for us to see what you make.

    The blankets are gorgeous, insearchofme.

    Those little baby buntings are so pretty. I'm sure they must be a comfort for parents who need a bit of TLC at a very difficult time.

    The Christmas decs are lovely, chalky.

    I agree about the OCC warehouses needing extra hats and scarves. I have a friend who can knit in her sleep, well almost, and she makes lots of spares for me to take to the warehouse when we take ours from church.

    Off to bed now. Night, night. x x

    morning all
    up early today as youngest has gone off to school early eager to take part in a sponsored walk in Edale he did the same walk earlier in the summer i think it was the wettest day we ad he came hopme drenched to the skin and frozen through - it didnt put him off. im hoping today will be drier but ive still packed him off with kagoule hat and gloves.
    good weather vibes for that area please.

    started another bunting last night, but wont add the ones ive done to my totals till they are lined and ribboned

    hugs to all hope everyone has a good day.

    ISOM its the putting together that makes a pile of squares into a useful blanket so dont knock your achievment and hard work.
    both square making and blanket sewing up are important parts of the process. By working with someone else your combined talents have made someone a really nice warm treat for the colder weather

    Scarves would be lovely, thank you, ginnyknit. Not so many knitters make scarves as hats- they take too long and use up more wool, don't they!
