    Hi Kathy

    Does that mean you don't need my fudgy coloured ones? Shall I do some in a different colour?


    Hi Pink Fairy - your fudgy squares should be fine for sending to Lainey for the Smokelets' blankets! Thanks

    Hi lainey

    I have one done and I just have had an awful day at work so after dinner DH watching football and I have the second square half way done! Should maybe have done the ironing, cleaned the bog but no. Needed R & R with the knitting.

    Do you want them just trickling in as one or twos as I am never sure when I can do another one?

    Will be happy to post off as soon as. What a major effort putting them together - you are a star. I have left huge casting on and off bits with mine but will include a bit more wool in case you need it.

    Oh Dear

    I have just back tracked and my colours totally wrong for the young Smokys. I have gone Ape !!!!!! again! I have done vibrant orange and golds so maybe thinking Smoky's blanket. Will need to think again. However, my squares will benefit someone!

  • hi all again, just sent my count to mioliere so we shall add grannybroons to the next count tomorrow to avoid any confusion iyswim.
    grannybroon, welcome to the wooligans. send your squares whenever you're ready chuck.
    pinkfairy, the fudgy colour will be lovely, don't worry.

    I'm not going to start sewing till i've received everyones squares so that i can put one from each wooligan in Smokys blanket. I was going to start monday but have decided to wait.
    at the last count we have 39 wooligans, 27 of whom have knitted for Smoky and the smokelets so i will put one square from each member into Smokys blanket to start and then use the rest of the squares after I have sorted out the others into piles according to colour for the smokelets.
    i hope that's ok with everyone, let me know,I honestly don't mind if anyone has a different thought on this.

    hugs ,Lainey
