How many squares are there for the blankets now?

NessaRose · 28/03/2012 10:29

Aghh Knotty, the green was for Wubblys blanket. The ones for MrsK's are pink.
Hopefully they will be with you soon.

Cakey! How are you getting on? My square is currently 6inches by 4 inches, I asked Knots if it was square enough, or did I need to do more and guess what she said?!! Confused Blush Grin

I have a clear run at it famous last words this evening so shall be posting tomorrow. Definitely.

Have replied to PMs, many thanks Thanks

TimeForCake · 28/03/2012 18:34

Pistey - my lack of progress is conspicuous by my silence I think! Blush But i'm pleased you're still with me! Funnily enough, I was thinking of you and wondering how you were getting on earlier. I had to do a lot of frogging today. For some reason, this square just won't play the game. Confused I have some time to myself tomorrow afternoon & am hoping to finish it then. Fingers crossed. My other square seemed to go a lot better (within reason) and this one ...well...we shall see. Good luck tonight!

Was the pink one in the un-named 3 a team heart Knotty?

If so tis me. I thought I'd put my name on the card but as I managed to get the parcel packed and all the way to the post room without remembering to even put the card in there it's very possible I also forgot to sign. Grin

Lilac a snuggly plain and essential slip stich and the purple one a flower pattern that I hope should flatten out to 6 inches wide when in situ? Smile

KnottyLocks · 28/03/2012 20:46

Aha! Barbara! Yes, a pink heart, a purple leafy flowery cable type and the lilacy one, which isn't plain at all! They are lovely. Size-wise, they are no problem Smile

So tis you Grin Thanks and a Star

Glad they are OK Knotty. Smile

You should get the Thanks though, I'm in awe of the projects you take on. Have a Wine or two, too

KnottyLocks · 28/03/2012 21:18

Thanks!

Actually, it is a massive effort opening pretty packages, cooing over the amazing skills and stuffing my face with chocolate whilst making sure not to get the squares messy. Wink

Keeping the squares free of sticky chocolatey fingers is the hardest bit Wink

In my head, I'm seeing the Wicked Witch from the Wizard of Oz saying "Fly my pretties! Fly!"

Although, apparently, she didn't actually say that in the film.

JaxTellerIsMyFriend · 29/03/2012 07:32

oh hello! You all vanished and now I found you again. Grin

Trying hard to get more squares done, but RL is getting in the way of any knitting at the moment. Must try harder. Blush

KnottyLocks · 29/03/2012 07:43

Soupy, that's uncanny as Pistey looks just like that this morning.
