Hi fellow knitters

As you know my knitting group and I have been knitting/crocheting squares for charity (see my previous blog titled 'Use up old wool for a good cause'). I thouht it was about time I gave you all a bit of an update on how we are doing.

A couple of us have only managed to finish a few sqaures but top knitter Caron Povey has finished an amazing 99 sqaures! She bought them all to the group today and we took a photo of them all spread out on our table. As you can see below she has used up all scraps of wool that she found around her house and has used crochet and knitting stitches. A lot of her squares are crocheted as she finds this is quicker and has been completing nearly 4 sqaures a night - wow that is quick!

This has really motivated me to getting knitting and I am going to try and finish as many as I can before the 25th August, which is the final deadline to send them to Oxfam. If you want to take part in this great cause please see my other blog which I have mentioned above which lists the address to send your sqaures to.

The Squares attracted quite a bit of attention (Caron is on the far right).

Happy knitting!

Marie :)
