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 :)

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

RatherBeOnThePiste · 28/05/2011 16:52

Take no offence Pidj- I'm just trying to emulate you!!

Shall have to rename you 'TakeThePiste' Wink

Piste - there are two for Edgar: the blanket and a fabric quilt. Quilt is still in Welsh Wales being finished.

I'm loving the name, I might add it to my collection!

I did not know there were two how lovely. It makes sense for the welsh one to come and then they travel together I suppose. So the two for Edgar will be traded for Rinders and Blondes? All is well. X

pidj - just read your pfb a story and have tucked him up for the night.
Sleep well little blanky x

My squares are blocking and should be in the post tomorrow. I'm not too pleased with the way they've turned out, but I've run out of time to redo them. I think I may have bitten off a bit more than I could chew with the teddy pattern.

As for the sizes - head-desk! I don't know what I've been doing. Clearly my tape-measure is very funny and shrinks over-night, because, well, you'll see when you get them Purple. Hope they'll be acceptable.

purplepidjin · 28/05/2011 22:53

Don't worry, Pretty, they'll be wonderful! It all melds into one sheet of pure awesomeness when they're all together Smile

Please just excuse me a mo

Darling daughter, will you please stop reading my stuff on Mumsnet, you are being very nosy indeed, I don't read your facebook stuff, so please go away and get on with your revision, and respect my privacy.

Sorry to everyone else

purplepidjin · 29/05/2011 12:15

Ask my daughter how annoying it is if your mother reads over your shoulder. She has quite abandoned MN now.

purplepidjin · 29/05/2011 18:02
