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 :)

They WILL get to you before the 4th June, Pidjin. They are done and will go in the post this afternoon.

Have I got it wrong, I have addressed my parcel to Knotty? Look out for a lime green placky packet!

purplepidjin · 02/06/2011 09:20

Thank you, oma!

Ali I live in a small town. My postman knew my cat before he died (very fluffy and friendly), and they know why I'm getting the parcels. Everything is arriving despite some oddities in addressing and some of the posties being too lazy to take the elastic band off so I have to go pick them up Star

Have nearly finished my squares, now they are going to the same address aren't they? Hopefully will get them to the post tomorrow if the Miele man comes on time...

angelpantser · 02/06/2011 17:43

Just back from the post office. Four squares on their way to you purplepidjin - 3 peachy knitted ones and a peach and silver crochet one, plus a small amount of leftover wool.

wizzler · 02/06/2011 18:02

Knotty.. did my parcel of squares not arrive Sad?

Niecie · 02/06/2011 18:22

Oh drat. I've done squares and forgotten to post them.

I will send them tomorrow although obviously they won't now arrive by 4th June. Blush

I hope more organised souls than me have sent enough to keep you busy on Friday night, purplepidjin.

Do say if you need more.

purplepidjin · 02/06/2011 18:24

PP, thank you for that link.

I remember Lisa from babycentre 4-5 years ago, and often thought about her. Last I heard was about Joe, so sad to hear she lost Nathaniel after that too. How are they all going now?

ShouldersBackAndNoBiscuits · 02/06/2011 20:44

Hey Ho, I posted 7 squares in a mixture of green, pink and lilac and the remainder of the yarn off yesterday, so is hopefully going to land with you tomorrow!

purplepidjin · 02/06/2011 21:09

Smokin, seems like she's thrown herself into the charity, which is doing amazingly well! I link a lot to their facebook page from my business page (www.facebook.com/mimapants) because for every 25th liker, I donate an item greedy ethical marketing ploy The pics of the blankets in-progress are also hosted there so feel free to nosy Grin

Shoulders, they arrived today. DP loves the stripes Grin and Star
