Knit Your Square to Give Your Share - PART 4

ginnyknit

Hi, the 3d blanket is easier than it looks. All you do is a white square of 2 rounds then do along 2 sides with 2 rows of treble blocks. and repeat with 3 colours in total. Black grey and white look good but Im sure with careful choosing it could be done in pink, lilacs or blues. You would have to stand in the wool shop and make sure the colours are all the same type to get the effect. I went round all the squares in white so they popped out then edged it.

The throw I did for my friend arrived at her house today and she is very pleased. I did that one on a 3.5 hook as the yarn was thin, normally I do 4.00. The squares are about 4 inches and I did 100 of them then a few rows of a mix of dc and trebles then a row of smaller squares using up what yarn I had leaving enough for a border. Does that all make sense?

I hate absences .... Always feel caught on the back foot. Visitors have left. Builders have arrived and I send love to each and every one of you . Will catch up properly tomorrow x

Jean - I am up early this morning. I had a fall yesterday and hurt my hip which woke me up early, so I've been Pinteresting and found this pattern:

For all of us, I also found this which made me laugh (and applies just as much to knitting as to crochet):

Quick call in.

Ginny,thanks for the explanations. Hmmmm, stand in a woolshop? Not too sure if I could do that, bit out of my comfort zone ......;):)

Kathy, totally agree with that poll.

Jean, hope you are feeling a bit better and swelling all gone.

Chalky,you'll catch up again quickly.

Phone call from hospital yesterday, now pencilled in for 19/20th, providing this cold has gone by then.

Dd has taken little J to nursery so better get dressed as I think she intends to go shopping before we pick him up again. Better be ready or she'll moan.

Hello one and all. I have read back and caught up with all your news and lovely makes. As usual stunning things which really does make our thread so special.

pssoi hope those bugs leave pronto. I know you do not want to go into hospital but the waiting is agony too.so glad your daughter passed her test .

If I have forgotten anyone it's only my sieve like brain.

OK the face has gone down - the blood counts are awful - no real idea of what is causing the reaction and on top of everything else I have now got a patch of shingles (and I know this next bit is far too much information - but you're getting it - trouble in the knicker department) more meds than a chemist shop - I am really looking forward to the weekend and staying awake for a whole DAY. I need to get the tunnel and greenhouse sorted out as well as all sorts of other stuff.
The good thing about absence is IT MAKES THE HEART GROW FONDER - I missed reading postings so will go and catch up now, then its a glass or two of relaxing wine - DH is chef tonight - his own recipe PIZZA which he can make all by himself quite well, without my assisting.
Lots of Love and cuddles to you all. Will catch up over the weekend.

:rotfl:Jean,trouble in the knicker department -
do you have a 'birdie' singing to you ? I often have a visit from the friendly thrush, seems to be part and parcel of having diabetes:(

Next blanket well under way in the marshmallow random yarn from Marriners, with a bit of lilac thrown in for luck.

Early night on the cards again I think as head is pounding.
Night all.

Just a quickie I don't know life really is getting in the way at the moment - is someone taking away hours from a day!
Anyway whole heartedly agree with absence makes the heart grow fonder xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

You ladies have made me chuckle - I also have trouble in the knicker department - a) yes I often have birds tweeting:D b) knickers are getting too small :eek::eek:

On a serious note ................... roamin you really do sound poorly I am worried about you - doing too much ??????? need a few days off??????????????????? I know I know those words don't come into your sentences but really if you don't look after yourself "The Sunshine Bus" is coming full of ladies who will sort you out!!! (if only, its a nice dream I have when I think of all you lovely ladies!)

Kathy - hope you are feeling better after your fall, as chalky said it really shakes you up hope you are taking it easy and the pain is easing xxxx

psso - sending you a big hug hope you are not worrying too much xxx

Anyway I popped in quick to say HI, LOTS OF LOVE, QUITE A FEW HUGS

Be back soon

Oh Roamin, you really must be run down to be hit with all that. Have you had antibiotics? they usually send birds in the kickers department.

Feeling low myself today, think Im just weary but had a lovely cuddle with Dgs earlier so all my blessings are counted. He is teaching himself to count in French so his other grandad will be chuffed when he little man visits in April. Hubby is sat painting a little house for his model railway but it seems to involve drilling and hammering so maybe I misheard and he is building a bar in his bedroom ....puzzled smiley :rotfl:
