Blanket for MrsY and her family. Donors, crocheters and knitters, can you help us?

[RatherBeOnThePiste]

We have heard the desperately sad news that MrsY has lost her precious baby son Benedict and have offered to make a blanket for her and her family. She is very touched by everyone's kindness, and would love to receive one. Here is the original thread

So once again we are calling on the Blanketeers for help - whether it be donating, knitting or crocheting. Will you join us?

PM me and let me know how you can help, if you need matching up and I will be able to help you

For pictures from previous blankets, see here www.woollyhugs.com

As in the past, the wool we are using is:

• Debbie Bliss Cashmerino DK (NOT the baby cashmerino)
  
• or Rowan cashsoft DK
  
  They are very similar and can be combined
  
• 4mm knitting needles or hooks
  
• Cast on 33 stitches
  
• 6" squares
  
  The colours for this project
  Blues, warm purples, greens, silver and cream
  
  
  So sad that another blanket is needed Sending love to MrsY and her family.

Many, many thanks for all your support

You will see very sadly there is another call for a blanket starting today see the thread here

[KnottyLocks]

Please feel free to ask any questions you have about the project on this thread and we will try to answer them.

[MinnieBar]

Have PMd you.

[MOSagain]

I will donate 2 balls of wool. Will PM you Pistey. Any suggestions as to where to buy the wool?

I am also going to learn to knit, something I should have done years ago when my lovely mother was still alive to teach me. Not sure if I'll be up to speed/scratch in time for this blanket but would love to be so I could contribute for my lovely friend MrsY. So very sad that you are in a position to receive a blanket but so very glad you are going to get one in memory of your darling Benedict who will never be forgotten. xxx

Could I just ask you lovely people to PM Pistey as well as post on the thread, to let us know how you would like to help

Helps us keep track, especially with two projects running simultaneously.

Many thanks.

I will knit squares for both, but would appreciate it of someone could donate a ball of wool. I usually do squares with a flower appliqued on.

[roguepixie]

Pistey - have pm'd you.

Made the suggestion of a blanket for greengoose (hadn't seen your other thread).

Will do squares for both. So, so sad that two more are needed.

[KnottyLocks]

Cheers, SDTG. Got your PM and will get back to you when we can. The Inboxes are very busy at the moment.

And we're getting stuff coming at us from MNWoollyHugs on Facebook too.
