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 :)

SmokinAces, thank you. As a rl friend perhaps I could send the finished blanket to you to pass on at the right time?

Purple, thats fine. We had only just started the transition from online to RL friend before this happened, but think we will be having a fair few more wines coffees in the future so would be happy to forward things on.

I'm still doing my squares for Rinders - hope to post them at the end of this week.

Count me in for a couple of squares for Blondes.

KnottyLocks · 12/05/2011 21:26

Jules, you too are on the list. D'you need some wool?

KnottyLocks · 12/05/2011 21:28

Smokin, would you like someone to send you some wool or will you get your own?

Sorry, am typing with a sleepy child on lap. He keeps getting out of bed, bless him.

purplepidjin · 12/05/2011 21:33

Thank you Smokin. Send your address with your squares and I'll send it on :)

Don't forget I can send on cards with the blankets if anyone wants to send one with their squares

Jules I'll put your squares on rinders' blanket and. Save one for blondes if you like? Or keep up the stunning work, up to you [mwah]
