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.

I can't knit - am quite crafty though - what sort of thing d'you have in mind?

JessaFreedomFighter · 08/08/2006 15:22

Have CAT-ed
Is is a sewing type blanket or a knitted type, cos actually I can't knit particularly effectively... bit will give it a go for MN!
Can sew though...

have cat'd you Marina.

Marina · 08/08/2006 15:24

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.

I want to know who the MNer is but can't knit

I'm just nosey though

You're all lovely, you knitters!

Marina · 08/08/2006 15:25

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?

Marina · 08/08/2006 15:46

Ah, I hoped you'd spot this o mighty fanjo!
I have at least one of your addies on file somewhere

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.

Marina · 08/08/2006 15:47

And you too! Thanks Polly

OP posts:
Marina · 08/08/2006 15:48

Yes, same as before, like the sound of the new techniques NQC. Let me know if you need any shipping Polly.

PollyLogos · 08/08/2006 15:58

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

bundle · 08/08/2006 16:08

marina, I was just trying to be inclusive for our crafty comrades

Marina · 08/08/2006 16:13

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)

OP posts:
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)
