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 :)

That's nearly as many people as squares. Truly awe inspiring

Helloooo I'm back from my holiday (need a good rest now!) did you get my squares, Purple? Posted in a rush as we left, so I think I may have forgotten to enclose a card or note. Beige and light blue, included a rather lopsided crocheted bear.

Hello PrettyCandles, I think I can see some teddies on the pics here

KnottyLocks · 07/06/2011 08:23

I've PMed Rinders and LOTM with the Roll call link.

purplepidjin · 07/06/2011 08:54

Yes, definitely got them! Thank you, and (as I posted a pic on FB and tagged Blondes) they made her sniffle Wink

I most certainly won't mind a classic Beetle. Not sure what we are doing in September, we'll make arrangements a bit nearer the date.

KnottyLocks · 07/06/2011 10:35

Pidj, you got any idea how many folks want to attend the Great Blanket Meet, if we can manage to arrange it?

KnottyLocks · 07/06/2011 12:19

I'm PMing left, right and centre to try and work out the logistics of the Blanket meet.

mistlethrush · 07/06/2011 12:33

I think its going to be too far south for me unfortunately

KnottyLocks · 07/06/2011 13:10

If certain people knew what dates they were available, it would help.

purplepidjin · 07/06/2011 14:16

What me?

OP posts:
Blondeshavemorefun · 07/06/2011 14:41

purplepidjin · 07/06/2011 14:44

Blondeshavemorefun · 07/06/2011 14:45

KnottyLocks · 07/06/2011 14:52

purplepidjin · 07/06/2011 14:52

KnottyLocks · 07/06/2011 14:55

This is a bloody nightmare. Trying to find a date when you're all available. Arse.

Stop with the social lives, people!

purplepidjin · 07/06/2011 15:01

Social life? I bloody wish! On the plus side, I just saved a dog's life

I saw the thread Purple - I nearly threw myself in and said 'read the OP people - its Purple's FRIEND with the problem - don't blame Purple, she's trying to help to solve the problem!' but thought I'd simply get ignored - but well done for persevering despite some of the responses that you got.

purplepidjin · 07/06/2011 15:32

It's not worth the argument, Mistle. Folk just assume I'm trying to disassociate myself by using the third person Sad Thanks for the support, though

OP posts:
mistlethrush · 07/06/2011 15:33

Well I'm sorry it wasn't on the thread itself - but it had got too out of hand by the time I saw it for me to make any difference really.

I really hope that a sucessful solution has been found though!

purplepidjin · 07/06/2011 15:35

So I'm not wrong in thinking I got a bit of a rough ride?

I hope so too Confused

i havtn seen that thread?

but i did save a pigeon friday :)

KnottyLocks · 07/06/2011 15:50

And I saved a thrush who headbutted herself unconscious divebombing our window and two blue tit chicks who had obviously tried to fly the nest only to realised too late that they weren't ready.

More gold stars all around Grin

Right, Blondes has thrown a dirty great spanner into my Blanket Meet plans by not being available on the 2nd or 16th of July. Blooming cheek Grin
