I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels welled up when reading through this thread, the amount of love and kindness shown is overwhelming. I stumbled across the OS page a few weeks ago by clicking on the wrong link which has turned out to be the RIGHT click. Because of that I am privilaged to be a part of our kniting group.
A huge well done to everone of you, if there was a slap on the back icon it would go to Lainy and Moilliere. :A
Love to all Beth x

No you are not alone betheebee! I have a lump in my throat right now, have just seen the photo Lainey posted of all the squares so far received :T thank you for that Lainey! lovely to see that mine have arrived to join up with the others. How wonderful that from Kathy thinking out loud we have got to this! Kathy and Lainey you are angels for making this happen:A as is Artystitches (Naomi):T

Betheethebee and Catz - what lovely words; you've made ME well up now and I'm blushing! It's been an honour doing this and making such good friends at the same time. I've really enjoyed it and am so grateful for all your time, effort and enthusiasm. Long may Wooligans continue - I do hope you take up the next challenge!

Lainey - the photo is fantastic. It made me feel very emotional to see all those squares in one place - and none of us has ever met! How incredible is that? Thanks for posting the photo!

I have had a wonderful response to my email to www.lovinghands.org.uk/ which I will post about later when I've had a chance to read it all. I have had family round this afternoon, which was great after the morning spent super-cleaning the kitchen, so I haven't had time to concentrate on it. Will read it after dinner and post again.

I entirely agree with the comments I have read, this site has been an eye opener for me,so many nice people doing things for others, and giving generously the most precious thing we possess nowadays.....time....

I for one will carry on with the knitting/crochet squares and anything else that the "Wooligans" come across.

Well done everybody
Especially the one who pulled us all together mioliere, and lainey for all her hard work in sorting and sewing the products of our labours. :T :T :T

Well, have enjoyed my day doing my squares. Special thanks to Mioliere and Lainey who are so instrumental in this going on.

My squares being pressed at the moment - I pin them out and then put them under the cushion on the settee and and them sit on them - I find it is better than using the iron.

Another tip I learnt years ago is if you drop a stitch use a crochet hook to pick up. One more - I always pull wool out from inside middle of ball when casting on which makes it easier and you don't have to take the outside wrapper off!

Hi grannybroon, what a good idea about the blocking, made me chuckle too!! I pull my wool from the middle too, theres nothing worse than a ball rolling off the sofa is there? lol!
pippa, mioliere will add yours, tattycaths,pink 1970's and grannyb's squares to her list in the morning no doubt.
I make that an extra 16 today! 11 to go! I have a half done one so that means we need ten, how many more are on the needles folks? if you can let me know we can keep track and know when we have enough iyswim?
luv n hugs to all, Lainey.xxxx

mioliere

HI all - thank you so much for all your kind words. I have such a warm glow now, and tears in my eyes! I thank all of YOU for all you've done - it still takes my breath away when I think of all you have accomplished.

Morning all - here is the update from yesterday's additions; many thanks for working so hard! Thanks to Lainey for last night's totals!

The figures are in three groups: the first is for HTA, the second is for Smoky and the Smokelets and the third is the squares Lainey has received so far. Thanks for the list, Lainey!
