    Thanks Mrs Moneypenny; I already have my photos on Photobucket, Flickr and Picasa because I keep trying different sites but I can't seem to move them from the sites to put anywhere else. I've done it before with eBay so I know it's possible! As your DD is still a schoolgirl she's bound to know more about it than me!

    These are the smoothie hats i've done so far, i made the pom poms by winding wool round a ruler then sliding it off and tieing it securely round the middle before snipping the loops and trimming it into shape

    Just a quick question - when are we sending these on to Loving Hands? I've got a jiffy bag and I was planning to send them off when it is full, but I just wanted to check we weren't going to send them by/on a set date.

    Just finished another wee hat so that's finished my ball of dark pink - had 6" of it left when I got to the last stitch! Going to finish off the orange in front of the telly with another hat. Then I'll be waiting on a delivery from Loving Hands. I'll try post a pic over the weekend when I've found the spare camera battery.

    Mrs M, you're hats are really lovely. :T

    Oooh, Mioliere, did you work out how to put the swirls hat together?

    Hi all. C1aire - there's no set date for the hats because they're individual. I'll probably send off six at a time; the sooner they are received by Loving Hands the sooner they'll be put to good use! They knit and crochet up quite quickly, don't they?

    Hi Lainey - how are you doing? You've received loads of squares already, haven't you?

    I haven't managed to sew the 'swirls' hat up yet! I'll look at it again tomorrow. I've nearly finished another one tonight; ; I can't remember who posted the link to the pattern I used (I'll look back through the thread tomorrow) but it's a crochet one that you thread a crochet chain through the top to gather it. It's really cute! I've done two today - they're really quick to do.

    Anyway, I am so tired I'm off to bed. See you all tomorrow!
