    Hi everyone!

    Maytaurus - once again you have found something great to share with us! Thank you so much for posting.

    Gingernutmeg - I'm just about to update with your hats! Didn't get round to it last okver the weekend!

    Ianna - I think we all have things like that! I started a crochet blanket a couple of months ago and it has been shoved in a bag. I picked what I thought was an easy pattern but made it too long in the first place so it needs to be quite wide to make it look right and it's taking forever to do! I keep wondering whether to perservere or to unpick it but a lot of work has gone in to it!

    I have one more bunting to add to my totals.



    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.

    Hi Mrs Moneypenny - you've been busy! Did you ask for a square for Lou because I've asked on the forum and twice in pms and haven't had the square sent to me! Perhaps you could let me know the size of the square and I'll dig out some fabric from my stash - I don't want to 'miss the boat' so to speak and not be able to contribute. I think some of the Loving Handers have used their own fabric so that's what I'll do! Also, my Mum wants to make a square so I can let her know and she can use her own fabric. She has enough to stock a large haberdashery and still keeps buying it!

    I have just finished another bunting and I will start on another vent hat and then I want to get a couple of Christmas pressies made. Also, I'm not sure if you will know by now but the Innocent Smoothie campaign has now been officially launched so we can send in our little hats. I thought most of us had asked to be informed of its launch by email but we just found out because one of the Wooligans posted on hear to let us know! I think the closing date is 17th October.

    Anyway, good to hear from you.

    Hi. I'll update your IS totals when I update towards the end of the day, Mrs Moneypenny. I still haven't received a square for Lou so I will have to use my own fabric; I wonder if it has to be pale pink - is that the colour they sent you? I think I might see if 'Sue' has an email address because pm'ing her isn't working!

    my square was pale pink cotton, there was a list of colours used on a lh thread

    i've taken this from there
    [html]
    it can be tarted up as you want all that is needed is 1/2 inch no make it 1 inch clear all round. the colour you get will depend on which bit I pick up hope that is okay, so far I have
    lilac
    pink
    yellow
    palish blue
    and white[/html]</DIV>
    hope this helps, did you get the pm ok with the addy in?

    i didnt get a reply to the pm i sent Sue yesterday, i'll let you know if i do.
    Kathy have your pms to sue been read? the one i sent yesterday is still in my outbox, but the one i sent on the 2nd aug asking for the square is in my sent box, so i dont think shes read my yesterday one yet.

    Hi there. Shazrobo - you've been really busy! I've made a note of your new totals and will add them when I update at the end of the day.

    Mrs Moneypenny - Wilmasart on LH has kindly pm'd me Sue's email address (Sue is Suzanne, by the way!). When I checked my 'sent' box it was empty so, for some reason, she hasn't been getting my pms! Anyway, I have just emailed her and hopefully a square for me and one for my Mum will be on their way soon. Thanks for your help in this!
