    Hi Kathy, I have 4 ventilator bonnets ready to send off to Shelley at preemies uk, but was`nt sure at first if we are counting these in with our STC hats.They are so quick to do as they are quite small, I have used DK baby wool, I have loads of that so did as Shelley suggested and used size 10 needles and they worked out well.

    I am off to the LH site now to see how Lou is today.

    Hi Mrs Moneypenny - thanks for your kind words and good wishes. I am missing the knitting because I find it so soothing and I could do with some of that right now! I know the wedding will be lovely and, once we are all in church listening to the happy couple taking their vows, I shall be starting to really relax (as well as sobbing!).

    I suppose no new news of Lou is good news, really. I shall pray for her tonight when I go to church for the wedding rehearsal.

    Some time tomorrow, I shall be posting on here and on the Wooligans Yahoo group and asking people not to update until, say, Monday. I don't think that, after tomorrow, I'll have many chances to pop on here until Sunday and I would hate to miss anyone's updates over the weekend!

    Enjoy knitting your boob. I did and I've enjoyed the questions that it prompted from friends and family!

    Hi Pippa - it's fantastic news, isn't it? I know that Lou's strength and determination as well as medical intervention has pulled her through the worst, but I like to think that all our prayers, hopes and wishes helped, too! I know they will also have helped her family. I'm just waiting for my square of fabric to come from Sue so that I can work on it and send it back to join all the others as they come back to her. I hope she got my pm on LH. I expect she has been inundated with requests!

    Hi Kathy
    I seem to have missed this one about the fabric square, is it for a patchwork one? I would`nt mind having a go at it,if I`m not too late that is.

    I went into LH but could`nt find anything about it, :confused: can you tell me where it is please.:o
