Michelle George commented on Diane McTigue's group UK"A good way to get wool for free is to ask for it on the Freecycle site.
People can ask for items they would like or offer an item they no longer need. You can find the group which is near to where you live so it's all local.
I did this and have…"
Michelle George commented on Diane McTigue's group UK"A big welcome to you Chris.
As Angela said knitting these squares is very addictive and I started out doing them in February last year. Even got my Mum is doing them , since June, after my Dad died, to give her something to do and she's still…"
Michelle George commented on Diane McTigue's group UK"You can not imagine (or maybe you can) how delighted my daughter and I where to see in the recent newsletter, a picture of the Jabulani boys wearing their hats and blankets and two of the boys wearing hats I had knit and sent last Autumn.
Their…"
Michelle George commented on Diane McTigue's group UK"To cut down on cost I get my wool from freecycle.org
It's a web site where people offer or can ask for an item and it's all free.
You can use this web site to find a freecycle group that is local to you and ask for wool.
I mentioned why I…"
Michelle George replied to Anne Powell's discussion Postal rates - Various countries"I've been sending my squares in an old plastic catalogue bag which I turn inside out and cuts down on the cost of postage a bit. I always make sure the parcel is well wrapped and the squares inside are in a separate bag also. money saved here…"

- Hi Michelle, I think there are a couple of ways - you could leave me your e-mail address or postal address on my page and, as soon as I have it I will delete the message. Alternatively, I think, if we become friends, we can send secure messages via the "send a message" button under the profile photo. I'm sending you an invitation to be my friend (sweet isn't it?) and maybe we can go from there.

- Thank you for all your nice comments.
Life throws things at us unexpectedly and you just have to get on with things. There was no way I was going to let cancer affect my life and I'm over the worst of it now.
Seeing these children in Africa makes you realise just how much in life we do have and by knitting these squares I feel I can add to their comfort. Knitting is going slow but onto square 10 now.
