Knit Your Square to Give Your Share - PART 4

mioliere

Welcome back, Jean; you've been missed! Hope you had a great time, and that you will soon be back into the French swing of things!

Glad you had a good time with Chalky, Pippa!

Ginnyknit - good news that it's not the cancer that's causing the pain. I hope it can be sorted soon. As for postage, I have a lot of UK stamps that I earned when I did research for the Post Office, so I will be using those to post parcels of woolly stuff when I am next in the UK, hopefully towards the end of the month or early July. Postage is even more expensive in France than the UK!

Mum is doing very well and enjoying the good weather and BIL, who feels the cold so badly these days, is doing reasonably well now that the temperature has gone up. The warm weather is really helping him, so I just want it to last forever.

It's been lovely here for the last few days and I actually feel as if the bug I had has finally gone. I will get some more squares done now; I didn't want to do anything woolly while I was unwell in case it was contagious.

Hope you are all having a good day.

Hi everyone
I have been so busy the last few days but today I have a fairly relaxing day so I am catching up on things...
Lovely and sunny here again today :cool:

MrsTwins popped over yesterday to pick up the bag of blankets I brought back from Devon that chalky had done they are over on SIBOL and they are gorgeous.

kathy - glad you are feeling better now after the dreaded lurgy has finally gone. Any news on the house?
ginny - sorry your OH is still suffering from so much pain, but pleased it isn't the cancer,
jean - its so good to see you back we have missed you x
sock-knitter - The Mission to Seafarers has a freepost address that I send to it helps a lot,and they always need hats, scarves, gloves etc
anakat - awww I love your rabbit its so cute
f1 - Good for you, I am so pleased you are all sorted :T but take it easy don't get going mad just because you feel well it takes time x your OH sounds like a dream looking after you so well

I have finished a ripple I was doing for Jo's new man, and am now doing one for his DGD in pinks, little girls all seem to go through a pink phase don't they?

Well it's almost lunch time so better go get some food on the table
TTFN have good days and love to you all Ax

just got hold of someone at our local royal infirmary baby unit and they would love knitted goods, nurse in charge is away this week but have initially been asked for cardigans so will send a few of those and the buntings in along with my phone number and they will let me know what else they need. really pleased as i can take them there and save postage

Pippa.S

Very quiet in here lately hope you are all ok and taking things easy and maybe just lurking

We have been to the hospital today for OH's check-up and the news is he is still cancer free so as you can imagine we are :j:T he's put some weight back on as well and the consultant was pleased about that, he still has to go for regular check-up's and the next appointment will be in 3months.

seakay - I hope you are feeling a bit more energetic today x
mrs-m - good news on the baby items, it will save a fortune in postage
ginny - sending lots of positive vibes and hugs your way and I do hope all has gone well today xx

I have been doing some scrappy squares and IS hats over the last couple of days because I had some sewing to do and have just kept swapping from one to the other
