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 :)

Well my tape measure says I'm 5'8

Today I will mostly be tackling Rinder's ends

I think I may need a new tape measure. It doesn't agree with my clothes.

Safe journey, Piste

Am putting my very sensible Piste characteristics into action today, as I am feeling very responsible

Piste will be here very soon.

She has Edgar's blanket.

Yahoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

RatherBeOnThePiste · 28/05/2011 11:21

And then suddenly into view comes Pisty clutching Edgars blanket (holding it very tight too)

Nice to meet you Miss P albeit briefly and hope you had a good rest of your time at Westfields!

KnottyLocks · 28/05/2011 11:23

You little treasure Grin

Big thanks to MissP too.

Now Piste, don't get too comfy in that blanket.

Not the theme tune from Postman Piste?

Pidj - your PFB has been safely gathered in, it is resting now, preparing itself for the next leg of the relay. It is in my bedroom, so that if we have a fire in the night, I will take it with me!

I haven't got the blanket out, but have had a little look in the bag, and am quite blown away by how beautiful it is. You are all totally amazing, the love, warmth and care put into it emanates from the blanket - a truly precious gift indeed.

Postman Piste is ready for the next stage!

Yay for Postman Pissed Piste and the Precious First Blanket! What's next? Finish Blondes's and do the swap?

OP posts:
KnottyLocks · 28/05/2011 15:41

I think that's the plan, Pidj.

Hopefully by then we'll have a clearer idea about Edgar's quilt. If that's done and we can get it to London in time, great. If it means two trips, then so be it.

RatherBeOnThePiste · 28/05/2011 15:46

Isn't Edgar's the one in my bedroom? Do you mean Rinders one that is going to somewhere very near me?!

Postman Pissed Piste and the Precious First Blanket would be a good name for a story I recknon!

Piste, rinder's is done but will be handed over at the same time as blondes's I think? I dunno, I'll stick to being a crochetty old bag

I love the way pidj that you normally post everything twice. But that was triple!! Fabulous.

So I keep Edgars here until the day that we are ready to trade it for Blondes' one and Rinders' one ? Smile
