I am so impressed with all the donations, it is so good to see all the lovely photos, I usually check the forum at work and in the past the photo's have been withheld but for some unknown reason I am now able to see them all. There are so very talented knitters about and some who must produce smoke whilst knitting as they seem to produce so much in such a short time.
My next parcel is nearly ready to be dispatached, but not very big this as it took me a long time to do my FTC jumper, but have managed to add a Teddy for Tragedy.
Keep up the good work girls.
Teresa

OOps sorry Emma - I saw the contact on front of parcel said Cathy - must be the contact from Citylinks depot! There wasn't a note nside and I was just too tired (or maybe lazy) to go check through the emails to confirm whohad sent me the message saying a parcel was coming via citylink :0) I have changed it now!
