As discussed by Bundle and myself off-board...who'd like to join us in creating a present for another Mner?
Ought to try and keep it a surprise for the recipient really so CAT me or Bundle if you would like more info.
All offers of help hugely appreciated, as before.

Can you crochet FMF, she says through gritted teeth...
Last year we made a blanket for the child of a Mner and did so out of knitted cotton squares so it could be washed. For assembly purposes it all needed to be roughly the same elasticity/density, hence the all-knitted/crocheted approach.

All squares received last year made for a lovely blanket, whether from highly accomplished or novice knitters, so please don't worry about whether you are good enough

Oh, CAT me please. But I am going insane ATM, and will be leaving on the 14th, back on the 3rd.

FanjoFanjoWhosGotTheFanjo · 08/08/2006 15:44

Or rather, just email me, I expect more organised people will still have my email address from the last time?

I've just e mailed you Marina at the address I have from last time.

FanjoFanjoWhosGotTheFanjo · 08/08/2006 15:47

I still have some DK cotton from last time - same materials, I'm assuming?

I have some new techniques to show off, as have been mad for mosaic knitting lately.

Think I'll be OK marina, I'll go tomorrow to see what I can find in the shops and let you know if I need some. Thanks

Anyone who uses the words die and cutter in close proximity is not trustworthy IMO bundle (sorry gals, only joking - but ability to wash it is v. imp here)

bundle · 08/08/2006 16:15

I know you're right....(am having v late lunch so you'll have to excuse my low sugar x)
