Thanks for your email-it was very interesting. Does the nursery you are going to visit need anything specifically?

Glad to be of help. The net can be quite frustrating at times I know!

Thanks for your explanation. I have done as suggested and voila! There are times when I have difficulties navigating web sites etc but its fun trying to locate what you want.
Will there be a meeting at CCCK on January 25? If there is I…"

Sorry I've taken so long to get back to you but we've been away. The easiest way to get to the comment wall for the Aussie group is to go to the groups tab (fourth from the right at the top of the page) and then locate the Aussie…"
Lindy O'Neill replied to Sandy McDonald's discussion Square Circle Ezine"Hello Sandy
Like all the responses so far, the Ezine is a wonderful read. The little stories of the children are quite heartbreaking but it also encourages one to keep those needles going. I admire you Sandy for not only producing the Ezine,…"

Lindy O'Neill replied to Anne Powell's discussion THE KAS SLIPOVER"Hello Elizabeth
Thanks for taking the time to pass on your instructions for the KAS slip-over. I have just bought some 4 ply baby yarn so I will give it a go. I have also started a go-over; just one square at this time.
I wish there were more…"
Lindy O'Neill replied to Sandy McDonald's discussion November challenge"Hello Elizabeth
Thanks for your knitting instructions. I think they are great and I will be using your instructions. They also give me a play with sizing.
Again thanks.
Lindy in Melbourne"
Lindy O'Neill replied to Sandy McDonald's discussion November challenge"Hi all
I might be the only one here but instead or should I say as well as, could the actual knitting instructions be available as well? I am blind so photos are no good to me or my husband who is also blind. Just a little thought.
Lindy in…"

Thanks for the links. I will check them out over theweekend. It is starting to warm up here in the southern hemisphere and in Melbourne today it is expected to be 30 degrees Celsius. Just a touch of what those little ones are having. I think…"

I was reading some of the earlier postings on the KAS slip-over forum and saw that you wanted a lead re the Oxfam sweater. The patterns were taken over by Guideposts Knit for Kids . If you google the words knit for kids it should come up…"
Lindy O'Neill replied to Sandy McDonald's discussion November challenge"Sandy I think 100 undervests would be a great challenge. However I would need some guidance re sizing. Would a tank top pattern be okay?
Lindy in Melbourne"

Is the Oxfam pattern on the net? If it is could you give me the web address?

Sorry I've taken so long to get back to you but we've been away. The easiest way to get to the comment wall for the Aussie group is to go to the groups tab (fourth from the right at the top of the page) and then locate the Aussie Group. The wall is immediately below the discussions forum. I hope that helps you.

- Hi Lindy,
I was reading some of the earlier postings on the KAS slip-over forum and saw that you wanted a lead re the Oxfam sweater. The patterns were taken over by Guideposts Knit for Kids . If you google the words knit for kids it should come up for you. They have two knitted patterns and one crocheted. They also have a little diagram with basic measurements at various areas of the "sweater".
Another good tank-top are those shown on the warmwoolies.org site - if you look at the May pattern it gives lots of info re child size length, armhole length etc. I used their pattern to come up with the 'plain jane' I knitted.
Hope this has been of some help - Jen

I am the same Heather who used to be a member of the Handknitters Guild. I am now based in Sale in Gippsland and I am enjoying being a member of this virtural knitting community. An additional benefit is catching up with old friends. Say hi to all at the Handknitters for me.

- Hi Lindy
I'm so sorry I accidentally deleted your question out of the "square count" discussion in the Aussie group. So sorry! Anyway you were in the right spot. Kyla wrote a lovely long explanation for you which also disappeared so I'm really sorry for the confusion.
All you need to do is go back there and add your squares to the previous person's tally, for example:
If there are 399 squares
10 hats
8 jumpers
You add your squares (say 20) to make it:
419 squares
10 hats
8 jumpers.
Thanks Lindy, sorry again for accidentally deleting you! x x x

Sandy McDonald said… - Hi Lindy
Lovely to have another Ozzie in the forum and especially as it is your first time. I live in the North East Suburbs - Ivanhoe! Anyway welcome and thank you for sharing with us that you are blind, that makes your first ever contribution to this forum particularly important. I have been thinking we should get a Melbourne group together, what do you think? I hope you enjoy being part of the KAS community. Look forward to chatting to you in the forum some time. Sandy
