Thanks everyone

The hospitals we have in Birmingham
City hospital
Birmingham Womens

as they are the main ones in birmingham for babies

I would love if everyone carried on knitting for us as it really helps especially when our stocks are going down all the time with the amount of hospitals we deal with

Hi everyone.

Pippa - yes, it's surprising how many people have been affected by tragedies involving precious babies.

Shelly - I shall send mainly to you rather than my local hospital to help you keep your stocks up.

I'm updating now - a lot to add today!

Pippa - well done on your boob - I shall add it to the totals! I haven't thought of a name for mine yet or how to post it! I really must get it posted though because the 14th will be here before we know it!

Anyway, here's the latest update and, once again, thank you all so much for continuing to knit with such enthusiasm and care.

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.

mrs-moneypenny

could anyone point me in the direction of the vent hat pattern please.

is it the leicester royal or the general on your list, and when i eventually get some knitting done would you prefer any knitting to go via you or should i find out your contact at the hospital and take it there direct but tell them its from preemiesuk? hope that makes sense.

i'm knitting a mobile phone case for charlie on lh at the mo, i did one last night but its come up big so that going to be a purse for my niece for christmas, i know where to take stitches off the pattern to shrink it i think

mioliere

Hi Mrs Moneypenny - I've just looked at my vent hat pattern and it came from the Ray of Hope site. I'll try and find a link! Watch this space!

Just found it - here's the link!http://www.bbc.co.uk/stoke/content/articles/2006/04/18/ventilator_bonnet_feature.shtml

KathyXX

I've just finished one and also one IS hat. I shall make a few more IS ones tonight because you don't really have to concentrate too much on the pattern!

mioliere

Mrs Moneypenny - is the mobile phone case another challenge? I must have missed it. If it is, could you send me the link to the pattern, please?

thanks

KathyXX

shazrobo

hi kathy can you add another 6 IS hats to my totals please, made 18 in total so far, an ideal way to use up odds and ends

mioliere

Hi all - thanks for the update, Shaz - will add it to the list later along with my 1 vent hat and two more IS hats. I'm digging out all my little scraps of wool to make the IS ones - they knit up satisfyingly quickly, don't they?

KathyXX

shezmit

i got loads of odd ends too so i might make some up too,

Can i become a WOOLIGAN please

mioliere

Shez, of course you can become a Wooligan! Here is the link to the Yahoo group - we have lots of photos on there of the various things we have done and don't forget to read the very first post on this thread here on MSE because it has lots of info and addresses and so on. I keep the running totals on there as well as on the current page once a day and I also update my sig (which comes up at the end of each of my posts).

Oops - nearly forgot the link! You need to apply and then I have to 'approve' you! http://uk.groups.yahoo.com/group/Wooligan/

Here is the link to the Innocent Smoothie campaign which is what we are knitting the little hats for; you'll find patterns on there. http://www.innocentdrinks.co.uk/thebigknit/ Happy knitting!
