just thought i|'d check in. Haven't done any hats for a wee while - hope to start again at the weekend.

Can't believe how the totals are progressing - it's such an amazing thing to see them rising daily.

Lainey - your blankets are looking fabulous!

Hi r.mac,
I have only just started on the premmie hats but already the totals are really impressive. It does`nt take us long when we get needles out does it?:D

Hi Pippa and thanks for the update! I'm glad you had a good time with your granddaughters. Grandchildren are precious, aren't they? I have a grandson aged 8 and a granddaughter aged 5 and they are such a joy to me!

Welcome back R.Mac! The hats are doing really well, aren't they? And the blankets are really coming on thanks to Lainey!

Well, off to update!


The first figures are for the STC (Save the Children) hats and the second is for the (IS) Innocent Smoothie hats which we can do in readiness for the go ahead of Sainsbury's next campaign.

Evenin all! what a lovely day it's been again. i hope it stays this nice for all the scottish and russian footie fans tomorrow. Manchester is a great place to hold an event like the eufa cup, it will be a hack of a party!!!
Anyhoo, I've just popped a pic of the little girls blanket on our yahoo site, hope you all like it?
I've made a start on the 2nd boys blanket, thanks again to everyone for their extra squares and their kind words (blush).
I'm aiming to have all the blankets done by the bank holiday weekend and am going to try and contact Smokybabe again about getting them to her. I'm not going to pressure as it's still early days for her and the children so I'll play it by ear. Will let you kno tho..
right off to water the plants and then settle down to some sewing.
Catch y'all later maybee???
Luv n stuff

Goodmorning all, hope belinda got my squares ok. I have started to knit shades of blue and green now (will go back to pink later - fancied a change) With so much sadness in the world it is wonderful to be part of this loving, caring group. Well done to everyone - God Bless.

tattycath

Hi lovetoshoptoo. Well done so far you're doing really well. I know what you mean about the sadness in the world. This is a great group to be part of, so warm and friendly and everyone is so kind.
Well I guess I'd better get some work done!!!

mioliere

Lovetoshop and Tattycath - I agree with you - there are terrible things happening at the moment. I don't know how the people of Burma and China can bear it. It is so good that by knitting we know we are helping at least some people worse off than ourselves. I only wish nature was not so cruel.

R.Mac - you'll feel really good when you have made something that you can actually wear! Good luck with it - you've come such a long way!

I agree with you all, I was watching the news earlier and it reduced me to tears, those poor little ones, a whole generation of children gone, its heartbreaking. So many people suffering.

You are right Kathy, we are so lucky in a lot of ways here, and we can all do our bit in whatever way we can.

I am off to get some knitting done now, I was in wilkinsons earlier and saw some yarn in a lovely pale green, and my mother gave me some pale pink yesterday, so I have a lot of colours to choose from now.
