 Come now my littel Munchkin - you know full well that all of the challenges are entirely voluntary - nobody will be made to make anything they don't want to (excet 3ply vneck 42" jumpers and 2ply shawls and 4' x 6' blankets all in one piece!!!!!)

Hi Lou
How about a 3ply bedspread as a challenge!!!! I did actually try to make one a few years ago and I think that is why I have so many grey hairs now!

Not really short of anything but bears and bags at the precise moment Shelley - we are aiming to cover any shortfall the Singing African Children have to reach their target of 500 bears and bags to take back with them. Don't know how they are doing just now but they were over half way there the other week and we are certainly doing our bit to help out!
