KNotty - can you let me know who sent me the beige wool for WTW and Cheeseand gherkins? I think RL inititials maybe NL??? WOuld just like to say thanks, is all.
Have two already done from leftovers i had bought myself, will try and get two more done over the w/e and get them out to you. Can i do a stripey one??
My DD (9) is learning to knit and i have let her do a couple of stitches on each one, so she feels she has helped, bless her.
May get some more wool in and just keep on making them, as i forgot how much i enjoyed knitting .

Whoremoanee, this is for your DD. How very lovely of her.
Stripes, spots, whatever you like as long as it's 6" square 
.
I'll PM you your donor's name.

Why not get some and make a blanket together for her bed?

Piste, thanks also for the note and the energy booster. I hid the booster from the boys and snaffled it as soon as they went out

Song, squiffy square is beautiful and will most definitely be saved with a contrasting crochet border. DP agrees (I don't normally discuss wooly things with him, but this one was important!)
Disclaimer: I only keep the woolly things away from DP so that he will keep football things away from me

Glad mine have arrived, Pidj. I almost forgot and had to interrogate the postman as to whether he had emptied the box yet.
So our collecting postman is a good egg but I am not so sure about the delivering one, as ComeWhineWithMe posted me two balls last weekend for the WTW and C&G blankets, and they have not arrived.

Squiffy has acquired a purple border, and will probably get another layer of pink added - I have some the same shade from someone else - if I have enough of it. Or possibly blue of which I have several miles...
Today I received a slightly damp offering from PosterofaWolef and an entire family of cuddly bears for the raffle from PurpleKnittingMum along with squares for the blanket
I will post pics tomorrow if i can keep my shaking hands still before my interview
