:hello:
Hi everybody,
I went shopping yesterday and got what I think is a real bargain....chenille type wool in white and turquoise for 35p a 50g ball, from Home Bargains, it needed sorting out though as it was all in a tangle,but I did manage to get some with the label on and unmessed up :rolleyes:
Just right for the scarves for LH.

This is my first post. I read this and thought what a great idea - so I just had to register so I could join in. OH will be pleased as I have so much wool lying around the place!! What do I have to do? What are the innocent hats? I have seen them on the bottles in the past. Can't wait to start knitting:j

Another 4 hats and one scarf for me please. How big do the baby blankets and lap rugs have to be? I must have missed it somewhere.
thanks

Hello and welcome to craftlady and ceebeeby :wave:

Kathy can you update me with 1 teddy please.
I have a scarf on the needles but havent finished it yet, I will take it with me and knit in the car on the way to see my DGDT`S on Saturday, also another ted just started.
I wanted to get another couple finished before the lady from Livingstone gets to LH, but dont think I will have time now as she comes on 21st, I think Lou said. Never mind I can send them later

Morning ladies

Just got a copy of 'Simply Knitting' for the free knitting clips and cowboy toy pattern, anyway there's a little piece on loving hands in there with a piccy of some of the items made. Lets hope that more people join in knitting for them as a result.

Kathy - You only have me down for 2 scarves, I've done 3 so far and almost finished the 4th, also started a baby blanket last night but thats for a gift for my friends baby due in September, but when I've done that I'll do a couple for loving hands. Been knitting hats and scarves for family gifts this past week, so not as much charity knitting, but I do keep doing a little inbetween other things, good job I have loads of needles lol!

kathy, can you put me down for a blanket please, i made lots an lots of colourful squares with some off the oddments i had and sewn it together, its almost same size as single bed, sent my first parcel off to lou at loving hands this morning. going on holiday so a rest from knitting, but will be straight back on it when i return

HI all - thanks for the updates; I will add them to the totals at the end of the day.

Pippa - have a great time at DGDT's! I will add your Ted later when I update.

Herbaholic - sorry I got your totals wrong - I will correct them when I update later. It's good that everyone is checking their totals because I don't always get it right, as you can tell! I'll look out for the current 'Simply Knitting' when I next go shopping.

Shazrobo - have a great holiday; the blanket sounds lovely.

I will start another hat later to give me a break from the never-ending crochet blanket that I ambitiously started and which is taking forever. The hats are so simple and rewarding because they're so quick to do.

Will catch up later.

Kathy
