Anyone want to help make another Mumsnet blanket?

[Marina]

A group of us is making another Mumsnet blanket.
We are chatting about it on Ravelry (in the Mumsknitters forum for all Ravelers!), where we can natter away without the projected recipient being in the know but we'd love more Knitting Mners to join us. Usual malarkey, cotton dk, 15cm squares!
Both DutchOma and I are happy to CAT or be CATed if you want more info.
I have not e-mailed people direct this time as it's been a while since the last one and I got bounce-backs galore from my first attempt to alert sporadic MN posters.
Any assistance gratefully welcomed!

Hi Marina

I'm not much of a knitter but I'd love to help out

A square can't be that hard, right?

Could you email me please - tangerinecath at hotmail dot co dot uk

Have mailed you, thanks TigerFeet

ooh - yes please! Can I take part?

Oh- I'd love to be part of this. Will actually get on ravelry tonight then Have been trying to waste less time on there recently...
I am such a browser!
Will CAT you Marina.

can do - have a few balls of cotton DK I got for abortive baby clothes project, so can also supply some extra yarn if needed. Do you still have my email address, Marina?

BTW tried to look at Ravelry to see if I could join but the site was down - must try again.

Would crochet be acceptable? will check out ravelry anyhow.

oh and what colour? Have cream and a nice pale green

crochet is fine!

thinking about it, I have some odds and ends of that nice shiny sssh yarn in all sorts of colours - it can be a pain to knit with but it IS 100% cotton

sounds gorgeous, i think bright colours are the order of the day, but muted by other more neutrals!

hurrah!

I'd love to; can just about manage a square.
Will CAT you Marina.

I think I do effie! Will mail you. Hope you get on to Ravelry soon and you too EachPeachPearMum!
Will CAT you PurlyQueen and yes, crochet is fab TotalChaos.
Thank you all very much

Could you CAT me with details?
Thanks.

am knitting neutrals for DC2 (see, I have a Plan) so it will be a nice change

Marina am already a member...just don't go on there too often, as I spend all night on there, and then realise it's 1 in the morning, and I should have been in bed hours ago!

I'd like to help too .
Can anyone recommend a yarn as I don't have any cotton and my LYS is not very large and does not have a great selection.
I'll pop over to Ravelry.

can it be plain ol' knitting? I'm just starting my usual Autumn stress knitting

Plain old knitting is fine fmf
I'll CAT you Purly, I'm afraid I didn't manage to earlier today

Miaou has just informed me that the deadline for completed squares is November 15th everyone!

I'll join in. What do I have to do?

You need to knit one or more 15 cm squares in bright cotton dk, babyOcho. If you are a mad experienced knitter, DutchOma and Miaou have some fab intarsia suggestions over in the Mumsknitters section of Ravelry
Squares in either garter stitch or stocking stitch with a 4 row, 5 stitch moss stitch border usually work out fine

bumping for Thursday nighters

Hi - I've done some squares and they're all ready to go. Can you let me know where to send them, please?

I'm on Ravelry if you prefer to post details there.
