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 :)

My wool still hasn't arrived, but this afternoon I came across a wool shop, went in, and bought the last two balls of 'our' wool. So I can get cracking. I, too, must post by next Friday.

If donated wool arrives, I will incorporate it. And if it arrives too late then I will still make squares with it - sadly enough I'm sure we will be making blankets again at some time. I hope 'my' donor will know that, definitely, she will have contributed to a MN blanket one way or another.

Blondes, I've never tried a chai latte but I think there's a Starbucks in Lymington? cant afford posh coffee

Don't forget I'll need a top up of the stash for sewing up Grin

My wool arrived today! Thanks to my donor! :) A gorgeous dusky pink colour. Will try and get them done over the weekend, might even make a start tonight

Don't know if I've come too late to this but I am ready and willing to knit if you need knitters. Just let me know.

Morning Smile

Bless my family for they turned up with booze Grin

Back to business:

AngelPantser, Smokin, I'm off to post some wool to you both from my stash that arrived this morning.

RatherBeOnThePiste · 21/05/2011 10:47

Morning - hopefully some lovely knitter gets pink and lilac in the post today!!

ShouldersBackAndNoBiscuits · 21/05/2011 14:03

I received 3 lovely balls of yarn this morning - a lovely combo of green and 2 shades of pink... I feel stripes coming on...
Knotty, will post on the extra on Monday, can't get to post office today!

angelpantser · 21/05/2011 14:16

Thank you Knotty. Will get cracking as soon as it arrives. Grin

My wool came this morning, I am so scared I will screw this up.

Have a ball of practise wool from my mum too. Am determined to do this, so will be sitting in front of the Laptop watching You Tube tomorrow.

RatherBeOnThePiste · 21/05/2011 14:37

Am really impressed Smoky!!

BecauseImWorthIt · 21/05/2011 14:55

SBANB - sounds like my order! I couldn't decide which colour so went for all three.

purplepidjin · 21/05/2011 15:14

Wow all these colours!

Smokin, don't worry if it doesn't look "right" it won't be the first one I've had to fix Wink

Only 12 rows to do and numer 3 will be done! Just eating my tea now and will do it then!

I forgot to send you the tiny bit of red wool left over from the last ones, would you still need it and I can send it with these ones?

purplepidjin · 21/05/2011 18:47
