"KNIT IN" FOR THE NEEDY.

That's one!

Yes it's another good cause being undertaken! I'm helping to "warm the globe"?

I've entered myself in a Sydney radio station's annual "knit in"!

I need to knit as many squares as possible over the next few weeks,each square must be 25 cm in length with 50 stitches in total ,8 ply wool & 4mm needles and only "plain" knitting is required then at the end of the month I need to send them to one of the "drop off" points in Sydney,then on 1st. August the squares will be sewn together & made into blanket size rugs,these rugs will then be distributed through out Australia and o.s.

To date I've only knitted 2? better get a hurry on!......or who will be the "Knit Wit"!

A helping hand is a helpful hand....now where have I heard that saying?

one year!

TODAY MARKS THE 1ST ANNIVERSARY OF LENISE & NICO'S WEDDING;SUCH SWEET MEMORIES ON THIS DAY ONE YEAR AGO WHEN MY LITTLE GIRL WED HER HANDSOME DUTCHMAN WHOM I'M NOW PROUD TO CALL MY F.S.I.L.
