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 :)

Evening all.

Just to help some of you knitters and non- crafty bods feel better, my squares are going in the post tomorrow. One is quite spectacular: it was supposed to be two knitted flowers on a plain background but actually looks more like a cat has eaten my wool and defecated on my square. I'm posting it anyhow Grin have fun with that, Pidj!

Shoulders, stripes are good. FACT Grin

I don't have a cat incase anyone is worried.

No animals were harmed during the production of my squares.

Defecating cats Knotty? Blondes will love it Grin

Can you work with a big squid too?

Any more wool need gathering?

purplepidjin · 03/06/2011 12:08

Thanks to everyone sending their ends I'm ok for sewing up

That doesn't help my woolgathering tendencies. Right now I'at the pond feeding the ducks in blazing sunshine. And they call this work Grin

Am I too late to send some squares - I've got the ones I did for Rindercella's blanket, that never got the ends sewn in so they could go to the post?

I could get them in the post this weekend or monday.

purplepidjin · 03/06/2011 13:06

Yes please sdtg! Don't panic about ends, I'm just being lazy getting folk to do it for me Grin and Star

Cat poop square and friends posted. Ends sewn in. No spare wool though - used it all up.

Star isn't bling enough, is it?
