I am most of the way through making the woolly blanket for EdgarAleNPie and her family and have a LOT of extra squares, thanks to all the wonderful, kind people out there in MNCraftworld.

How do people feel about making a blanket for Rindercella and her familiy as well as the blanket for Edgar? I''m happy to do the work, and FrazzledBlob and I are meeting next week to do the border, so the infrastructure is mostly in place.

Opinions please...

Purple - that is beautiful!

I send some wool to someone - I got the address from Pixie - from a company called Cafe Knit, if anyone has received it can you let me know. Thanks :)

To the MNer who ordered a ball of deep burgundy yarn to be sent to a MNer in Berkshire, it arrived safely and has made 3 squares which will be posted on Tuesday.

KurriKurri · 01/05/2011 11:26

Oh I'd also like to thank the person who sent me a ball of deep pink wool (I am in Norfolk) - I put this on the other thread but you might not have seen it. I also made 3 squares out of it and have posted them off. Smile
