"CreateCare Global has set itself two tasks. The first is physical: to bring hope, support and comfort to children for whom poverty and loss are everyday tormentors. The second, and in our view equally important, is to spread the message to the world."

Hi from snowy Melton Mowbray - I was wondering if you had seen my post in the UK discussion group about the KAS 10th birthday party I am organising this August. It would be lovely if some of my local East Midlands KAS sisters were able to be there.

Hello Elsie, thank you for your comment.
I found the bamboo stitch at http://knitting.about.com/od/stitchglossary/g/bamboo_stitch.htm
but there are various other tutorials and patterns online.
I cast on 76 stitches and worked in pattern for 28-30 rows (14 or 15 ridges or about 5 inches).
On the wrong side I purled 2tog for a row (38 st)
Then worked three rows of pattern and dec again on wrong side (19 st), and then again on the next 2 rows until I was down to 5 which I drew up with the yarn.
I still find increasing difficult in crochet so I am not able to make Mary's beanies but I will one day - in the meantime I had to come up ith my own.
Hope you're well and the sun is shining there as it is here.

Sorry you didn't get to see your son but at least you have it to look forward to. One of mine left for Australia two years ago yesterday and I still miss him desperately. I know what you mean about your offspring and the computer - when Sam left so did my technical help, in fact we have clocks that stay on BST now because we can't work out how to change them!
Hope you are enjoying your knitting still.
Yes, I think we will still be keeping the UK Tally which we do by copying and pasting our totals to the old ones (someone will do it for you if you don't want to do it yourself). We also add to the 2010 Tally in the same way, and you can also take part in the new 55,900 race and choose a category if you wish. None of it is obligatory but it is just to keep us motivated - they're very good at psychology on this site. I'm just about to enter my donated squares under 55,900 but I won't put them under the actual tallies until I post them.
Is your son with you this weekend? Hope you have managed to have a good weekend.
