MN Mother's Day knitathon?

[EffiePerine]

(Have also posted this on Ravelry btw)

Had a (poss) bright idea on the way to work this morning - would anyone be up for a MN knitathon/love darg thingy? The idea would be to knit something simple (hat, cardi, blanket) for a pg MNer who wouldn't otherwise get anything handknitted? Am thinking of those who don;t have a stream of mums/aunts/grannies on hand to produce matinee jackets in a vile shade of salmon pink.

I know Mother's Day is on Sunday, so we couldn't get it done by then, but I could post on MN to get a list of knitters and recipients. Would enough people be interested?

Any takers?

I will be sulking off with my needles and fluffy wool soon...

Hello, I'll join in. I'm not sure what to make yet, probably a hat, something small as I'm a great procrastinator, but I think it's a lovely idea.

I can't knit but can crochet, so if you stop being so needlist/hookist I'm in

Hats or bootees might work as well. off to chekc on ravelry as well then.

i will join you if its something little? I usually run out of steam before i finish.

Well we might be able to do something - any more volunteers?

Bootees would be lovely - I think I have some nice patterns too.

I'll be in there with something crocheted

I have also posted on Ravelry and would be up for it.

Thanks DutchOma

I also have a baby blanket I've failed to finish which could go to a good home (crocheted).

Pheebs and tea: are you on ravelry?

And biblio too!

I could do something. I knit and crochet, quite obsessively it has to be said, so I can make anything you fancy.

Effie, yep I'm on ravelry as pheebe. Only just signed up and haven't had chance to explore yet though

Great!

Could those not on ravelry cat me? I'll put a message on the mumsknitters forum as well. Thanks everyone

i am on ravelry. As purplechocs, this will be a good excuse to revisit it,its been months.

I'm bilblio on Ravelry. I joined the mumsknitters group a couple of days ago.

Right will draft a post on ravelry - the mn forum. Will post on here later today
