Allotments 4 All

I have just started knitting a square today.  Unfortunately I forgot to take the wool and needles away with me when I went away last week.  Is there a deadline date by which they must be sent please?

Last year I 'Freecycled' a lot of different types of knitting yarn. Had dozens of replies, so maybe if you put in a 'wanted' request you could get some that way.

Mum read somewhere if you unravel a knit, re-skien it over a full hot water bottle.  Then wrap it in a just slightly damp tea towel.  Leave until the hotty watty bottle is cold and it will have steamed the wool smooth.  ;D

Have you thought about a free ad in the local rag under the wanted section, or mention it to the local church - ours 'acquire' wool for the ladies to knit for the prem baby unit, hospices etc.  And don't forget freecycle.  I bet there are masses of people out there with old wool that they don't want.

 Please can we have a deadline i havent even started mine yet i got the wool at the weekend. thank you.

all excellent ideas

Blast!! Now I've got the time I've also got a very painful thumb joint. Arthritis I think :( I may have to co-erce a pal or teach a daughter to knit  if these are needed very soon.

Hi Maggie. I hadn't done any knitting for years and when I first started these squares my bloomin hands were killing me for the first two until me fingers got the hang of it

S'not the knitting Shirl, haven't done any for a few weeks. It's a little easier today so I'll have another go at the weekend. Daughter 2 has recorded 'Kinky Boots' so I will combine the two ;D

Are you still taking the squares? I have a number of 6X6 inch ones avaliable...
