Knit Your Square to Give Your Share - PART 4

Pippa.S

Woke up to a calmer morning it's still cold but no rain or high winds...hope it stays that way

anakat - aww he is so cute, the little one will love him
chalky - OUCH!!! not much they can do with a broken toe is there? on the good side have a lovely crafting few days Love your William Quilt it's looking good, and the handwarmer is lovely and colourful
kathy - wrap up warm when you go out there its cold standing holding ladders...lost count of the hours I have spent holding this and steadying that...when it was only supposed to be for
'a couple of minutes'
jean - thats my aim for this year knit a pair of socks...I have tried but make a pigs ear of it every time...
shaz - hope all is well with you and your family
f1 -I 'found' the 200 knitted blocks in my pile of craft books last night I had forgotten all about it
ginny - How lovely something good to look forward to... Postage is a real problem for everyone now, I am ok with SIBOL blankets as I can deliver made up ones to MrsTwins or she comes here sometimes.When we are in Devon I pick up quilts or drop off squares to chalky so that saves a lot, and we always have a good old chat and catch up we really look forward to seeing them both..Hope you have a relaxing snooze x

When I was tidying my stash out yesterday I 'found' various UFO's one of them a slouch hat I started some weeks ago, its done on a circular needle ( that chalky gave me after it bounced off her wall)!!! going along ok but I made a mistake and got the pattern squiffy...so I ripped it back to the ribbing and started again managed to do quite a bit while watching TV last night.

Right better go get some food organised, enjoy your day
Love to all Anne x

only my feet are boats (or perhaps herring boxes) unlike the lady pictured on the pattern!

They are lovely roamin. I like the comment in the pattern about patience to finish two socks. The Yarn Harlot refers to something called "second sock syndrome"-the first sock is great but then you realise that you have to knit the second one!

I'm knitting a scarf for next Christmas's shoe boxes but am really fed up with it.I think I have enough sock wool left so will start a pair as soon as the scarf is finished.

Thirzah -never had that second sock sydrome - I just keep going till they are a PAIR - I am currently toying with the idea of knitting TwoAtATime top down or for that matter toe up........ will need to sleep on that one tho' before I go and make a complete shambles of it!

I'm addicted to kniitting socks I do them toe up two-at-a-time
using this pattern
http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/nancys-socks
I don't always do the "lacy pattern" but it is a good easy to follow pattern with several sizes.
I also use this cast off.

Hello fellow knitters!

f1widow

love the socks - you don't have big feet roamin and Im liking the colour that style are trendy!

Welcome back thirzah hapy new year and welcome to mamacandoit ooo new lady (well Im presuming there!) hope you enjoy being with us. xxx

I have a "Sock" book and each time Ive tried it the needles yarn and book hit the wool with a loud screech coming from me :rotfl::eek: I keep the book as I cant part with knitting books and I keep thinking I will do it but really I doubt whether I shall ever manage any, perhaps the new year ebay session may have the addition of a sock book :rotfl:

Im having a break from a blanket that was a UF from last year its for my knitty friends 1st grandchild which will be here very soon - was determined to finish it as I was worried the poor child would not get it until he/she was 18! but am determined to finish tonight so off I go

Very windy here stay safe and warm everyone xx

ps I totally missed the baby news Ginny sorry - fingers crossed xxxxx
