    Yes that's right. Don't bother with the .5 one as I'll post when I've finished it. Thanks.
    Don't worry about the world coming to an end today. It's already tomorrow in Australia. ;)

    Lainey i posted 4 more smoky squares off to you yesterday, if you let me know when you are hoping to post off the blanket and book, i'll try and get a note/card sent with my next squares if i'm in time. if not ill pm you a note if thats ok.

    thank you.

    reason the squares took a while to get into the post was if i'd just used the smaller envelope and made it thicker it would have cost £1 more to post as it changed from a packet to a parcel so postie told me to use a bigger envelope and lay them flatter so the cheaper stamp would work. I hate this new system it just designed to rip us off :mad:

  • Hi Lainey

    I'm flattered you think ive done 4 squares for HTA, i wish i was as industrious as that!!!

    Please change it to read ONE square for HTA and none for the others as i am yet to get some time and wool to keep going.

    Sorry to confuse but i would hate to see the numbers short because ive not sent the squares you were expecting!!

    I was amazed how early some of you were up this morning. I woke and could not get back to sleep about 6 am so came down for an hour to do some crochet and to my surprise there were some of you up and about. I was able to go back to bed at 7 and got another2 hours sleep. But I did manage another HTA square this morning!

    I have finally cracked how to make a circle in the midddle of crochet and end up in a square. I will have one more go to make sure and then if anyone wants to have a go I will post how I do it. I can't follow other people's patterns especially american ones, so made up my own version, which may or may not be the same as one of them!

    Dee - I'm sure plenty of people would be glad of your British instructions. The Americans do do things differently from us! It might be an idea to start a 'tips' file on Yahoo for things like that - people have different ways of doing things, short cuts and so on, so others would benefit from this.

    Well done on the updates - I hope to post a new update to Lainey to see if her count matches mine and then we'll post the 'official' one. It's become very confusing - with me, that's not difficult!

    Morning all, Lainey I'm glad you got my squares and card for (((((((Smokey)))))))))
    Squares for Smokie/Smokelets posted to Lainey = 9
    squares being posted today 2
    Total 11
    I have 6 to post to the one that needs Autumn colours so will look up the address and send them today.
    I agree that the running total should only be on here as I get confused with the totals on here and on Yahoo.
    Love to all, Beth

    Hi

    I have put a photo and instructions after a fashion on the Wooligans for how to make a square from a circle in crochet if anyone wants it.

    Oh dear, I've been rather bad at getting to my crochet hook lately. I've got 3 squares at home for HTA and I as tomorrow is my day off, I will be on the sofa with daytime telly, the cats and my crochet so I can get cracking on the ones for Smokey/Smokelets. Please could someone update me as I'm at work and should really be doing something else...
