    Hi Lainey, I put a card in the package for Smokie, ( hope that was ok) :o if you want to do the little notes then feel free to just copy mine onto a note.
    So much for 1st class snail mail !
    Oh no! it was your OH who suggested the book, I left a message on Yahoo whilst updating my squares and said it was Mioliere. So Sorry, I will post another message and correct my mistake.

    Hi Lainey
    I think it's a great idea for everyone to have one square in Smoky's blanket. Sorry to confuse you, but the 2 squares I'm sending to you are in addition to the 2 I have already posted to HTA.
    thanks

    DH has taken my camera to China (he's hoping to get some pics of the terracotta warriors in their original home) so you're not going to until they're in the final blanket :p

    Can someone PM me the address to send the Smokelets' squares? Am I right that the closing date for them is Monday :confused: And do they need blocking to 8" or will the maker-upper do that?

    Hi Penny, eerrr what's 'Blocking' ? coz I've sent 9 and haven't blocked? them:o

    Hi all

    I did join but have been a slow starter! I'm on leave with visitors I've not seen for 2 years who flew down on Monday and been busy showing them round, but will be sitting with my up tonight, knitting and chatting. Got a lovely fudge/toffee shade of wool at the moment, and will manage at least 4 squares from that. You're all doing really well and put me to shame. I'm proud to be involved and think I've found the yahoo thingy!

    Hi

    I'm getting very confused as to where I should post what sqaures I have done, here or on the Wooligans? I have now done a total of 4 for HTA and 2 for smokelets. Seems we are getting closer by the day.

    Hi all - I see having two places to post is confusing! I'd like to keep the MSE thread going because MSE is important to all of us in one way or the other but I suppose we should organise one place for the 'official' updating - I just don't know which one!

    DEE - if you read the very first post on this thread, it's been updated with all the info including the addresses for sending the squares for the HTA blankets. I will pm you with where to send the squares for Smoky and the Smokelets' blankets!

    Everyone's doing so well - I can't keep up with you all! I started a square this afternoon that just wouldn't go right so I've unpicked it (cursing all the time!) and will restart it tonight. LAINEY - I hope to get mine in the post to you tomorrow!

    Will update my sig a bit later.

    :hello: :hello: :hello:
    Hi lainey,
    Can you update me by 2 please, that makes me 14 for smokey/smoklets.

    Did 2 this time in crochet for a change 1 pink/white 1 blue/white. I am now doing a yellow one so it can be used for either boy or girl sq.

    I have 3 ready for the post and will send them tomorrow, and the rest when I can find the other padded envelopes.

    Hope the other sqs arrived ok.

    I think the idea of a memory book is lovely, smokey will love it.When I send the next sqs I will put a little note in for her book.

    Anne
