Hi all - Jellybeans, thanks for the update but please take it easy if your hands are bad; you mustn't make them worse.

Pippa - yes, the Pram Stars are lovely, aren't they? They must really help cheer up the wards.

Well, I shall update the totals then have a look on the Wooligans site so see you all later.

Latest 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.

Well done, everyone - Jellybean's latest hats takes us to over 190 now so we are almost at the 200 mark which is fantastic considering the original target was 50. It's even more incredible when you see what else has been achieved - these really are brilliant totals - thank you all so much for what you are doing.

Hello everyone!
I've been slowly knitting (my hands keep getting very hot and covered in a rash so it's hard sometimes grrrr!) and have done 3 more hats. I've just parcelled them all up to send to Loving Hands, and put a photo on the yahoo group. Lainey the blanket looks great I love all the other teddies people have made too

morning all
just popped in to look at the photos the blankets look fantastic Lainey very well done to all who took part in them:T you did a brilliant job sewing them up lainey they look fab.

i've just finished my third ted so will get my parcel off to loving hands today

mioliere

Hi Mrs Moneypenny - I'm just having a quick read and will update with your third Ted later. My ex-boss has asked me to work this afternoon to cover staff illness so I'll wait until this evening to do an end-of-day update.

Lainey has done a brilliant job of the blankets, hasn't she? She's a true angel.

Hi everyone

I have applied to join the yahoo group, but not had anything back. Any thoughts on how long it usually takes? (been a couple of days, just worried I ahvent done it right :-))

4 7 inch squares and a baby balnket so far

( edit are the photos on the yahoo site ?? or have I missed them)

mioliere

Hi Queen of String - I've just pm'd you. I 'approved' someone yesterday as a new member who used a particular name so my pm is asking if that is you! I don't want to post the name on here in case it is your real name.

If you have problems applying, I can 'invite' you instead so please let me know. We don't want to lose a new member!

The photos are on the Yahoo site; in the early days, before the Yahoo group started, some photos were posted on this thread. When I update later, I'll include your baby blanket; we're not keeping totals of the squares in the running totals because they are an ongoing thing that we do as and when we feel like doing squares! You've made a really good start - I'm still working on a blanket I started about four days ago!
