Are there any objections if I use the leftover wool from the Edgar and Rindercella blankets to make something for Blondes? I've got loads! Anyone with leftovers feel free to pm me about either sending it on or sending more squares :)

Mistlethrush, PurpleKnittingMum, MyJobIsMum, I have chased your wool! It was posted yesterday so should be with you very soon, post permitting.

Covering you gently with a magic blanket...
I'm about to post mine.

Thanks so much Knotty! Have a Brew or a Wine if you feel in need of something a bit stronger... (quite justified inmho)

purplepidjin · 20/05/2011 14:56

Argh! 5 squares from finishing rinder's edge and I've run out of the right wool! 3 more balls at home but hopefully I've got some in the leftovers bag!

Wine for lovely knotty

Ta muchly, Blondes Smile

Pidj, I need you to teach me that too. We could set up a tutorial meet!

Blondeshavemorefun · 20/05/2011 16:37

sure i could squeeze in a sb chai latte Grin

not sure about any wooly skills though

Littlefish · 20/05/2011 16:59

My wool arrived today. I'll get knitting asap. We are going on holiday at the end of next week, so I have a self-imposed deadline too!

KnottyLocks · 20/05/2011 17:55

oooo knit like the wind, LittleFish.

Stuff the chai latte. I'll have a quadruple espresso with a rum shot. [means business]

smokinaces · 20/05/2011 18:04

no wool yet here Sad

I do have my needles though, and some practise wool.

anyone got some good youtube links for tutorials??!?!

KnottyLocks · 20/05/2011 18:47

Smokin, I've got wool due here tomorrow. Touch wood. I know you really want to get started. If yours hasn't turned up by tomorrow and mine has, I'll post a ball of mine to you.

I'll have a look for some tutorials.

KnottyLocks · 20/05/2011 18:48

I also have an alternative plan if we get desperate.

RatherBeOnThePiste · 20/05/2011 18:53

Seeing as I am an ace woolly gatherer, can I help at all?
They don't call me speedy piste for nothing you know...

RatherBeOnThePiste · 20/05/2011 18:53

and Knotty - the thought of you with an alternative plan is quite frankly worrying..
