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 :)

Ah thank you for the link knotty.

blondes has always been a great poster. I feel so sad.

KnottyLocks · 17/05/2011 17:53

She is lovely, Laquitar, and is dealing with this with such dignity. I'm sure she'd appreciate you posting on her thread. She is very touched by people's kind thoughts.

waves to all knitters/woolers (piste) and every one else

wow oh wow

im typing through tears (again)

knotty sent me the link and im a nosy blonde Grin so just had to read

i am so very touched by this - words really cant express how much kindness everyone has given on this thread and esp to those who dont 'know' me

but thank you so much - it really will be an item to treasure :)

'blows kisses'

i just feel bad that I never knew you did this to those mn'ers who have lost a loved one :( and feel i want to donate to the 4th blanket for ginges son who sadly died recently

needless to say i dont knit and havnt a clue where/how to buy wool but im very happy to send some money via paypal to someone/knotty who can buy/knit to help out

Purple, I'd like to help out again, if there's any donated wool knocking about that needs crocheting. Who do I need to pm for this one?

UrsulaBuffay · 17/05/2011 20:13

You lot are amazing. Really, this started out as one blanket, one special amazing little boy and now you are still going with love in every stitch.

Have some well deserved Biscuit + Brew

smokinaces · 17/05/2011 20:13

Blondes, I was the one who said you liked bears - hope thats ok x

RatherBeOnThePiste · 17/05/2011 20:14

Tis Mumsnet at its finest Ursula...

UrsulaBuffay · 17/05/2011 20:22

It really is, it's amazing to come onto this thread from reading some whinging and backbiting elsewhere. I do hope we don't need any more blankets for a while though, my heart goes out to Gingegirl also.

purplepidjin · 17/05/2011 20:50

Blush @ ursula

Thank you, whydo, Pm KnottyLocks who is our co-ordinatrix extraordinaire Grin

Course that's ok smokin - had to be you lol

On iPhone at moment but happy to buy wool for ginge - what colour and where do I send

Though brain is a bit dappy at moment and hope i don't order wrong wool

Can I paypal someone and they do it for me?

Who will knit for me?

RatherBeOnThePiste · 17/05/2011 21:36

I'm happy to sort wool for you Blondes, I know how to do that, it's just the crafty bit I'm so lacking in Blush

When Knotty comes on she'll know what's the best thing to do, she's right efficient like that.

whydobirdssuddenlyappear · 17/05/2011 22:13

Thanks, purple. Shall do. You must have one calloused index finger with all that crocheting...

KnottyLocks · 17/05/2011 22:22

WhyDo, PM me your address and I'll get some wool to you.

Am snorting at me being efficient Grin If you lot could see my house!

And the 'co-ordinatrix extraordinaire' makes me sound far racier than I am!

Blondes, my darlin, I'll PM you when I get a minute. Thanks for your last one btw, made me all teary like. I feel a mission for Piste coming up. I'm thinking of promoting her to my PA Grin. For once she's doing what she's told Wink

KnottyLocks · 17/05/2011 22:22

The next thread will be asking for donations for a bionic finger for Pidj.

purplepidjin · 17/05/2011 22:24

I'm happy to crochet for you in between construction work, unless someone with a bit more time is happy to do it??

OP posts:
KnottyLocks · 17/05/2011 22:37

If you get RSI we are stuffed!

Blondes, I've got a crafty match for you, no worries.

KnottyLocks · 17/05/2011 22:52

Right off to bed. I've got my proper job tomorrow so will reply to PMs later in the day.

To paraphrase Bruce and Tess,

Keep on Crafting.

Blondeshavemorefun · 17/05/2011 23:28

I'm matched away :)

As I said I'm very overwhelmed by how everyone is so generous

Buying some wool for ginge is the least I can do :) and glad I can contribute something to help someone else

KnottyLocks · 18/05/2011 16:20

Afternoon. I have replied to today's PMs...I think!

RatherBeOnThePiste · 18/05/2011 16:27

< passes Knotty a cup of tea >

KnottyLocks · 18/05/2011 16:32

Oooo ta. Any Biscuit around?

RatherBeOnThePiste · 18/05/2011 16:37

Brew here we are

KnottyLocks · 18/05/2011 17:18

Cheers. Needed that. Now back to business. I'm trying to locate a stray ball of wool.

RatherBeOnThePiste · 18/05/2011 17:42

I have no stray balls here Knotty..
Although someone will receive a pink and blue tomorrow.........
