Well done Sharon, hope to get my first small package off before the end of the challenge so I feel I have made a little contribution!

Looks great!

Sharon, I am ashamed of my nearly finished blanket, having seen yours.
It is not as even as yours, think I need lessons from Lou. Well done !

Amazing totals Lou well done to all of our wonderful members. I haven't been able to knit for almost a week as it's been too humid & hot but back to it last night putting finishing touches to my donations, may even manage to sneak in a little bit of something else and then on their way to you. lol Andrea

Sharon what a fantastic sands blanket. You should be very proud of yourself

I started one yesterday and i hope it comes out as good as yours has.

What staggering totals to date :shock:

Well done everyone, you are a truly talented bunch x

Sharon · **Posted:** Fri Jul 17, 2009 10:30 pm

Thank you everyone for your kind words of encouragement. I can't believe how quickly I have taken to knitting, but it's all thanks to Lou and her excellent teaching skills!

Have nearly finished my second blanket with the lacy border - need some help from Lou tomorrow for putting it all together!

OK Sharon here is where you can get your own back - Anouk also finished her blanket last week so I duly took her photo with it couldn't make one pupil any different to the other :0)

On the same day she also finished off her very first bag project - it is made in Sirdar Bigga on 12 mm needles so was a lovely quick knit and I was able to show her how to make a large twisted cord for the handle and put on the firnges too - she is ever so pleased with herself and plans to make a couple more of these for Christmas presents - this one is to be a gift for her sister in law in Venezuela as her Father in law is visiting next week so will take it back with him :0) She went off yesterday with her first ever garment cast on and started - she is making herself a lovely striped tank top using black, grey and white dk that her kind boss brought for her. One very nervous pupil but I have every faith in her :0)
