Another blanket sadly needed :(

[purplepidjin]

I've just heard the sad news about Magic8ballhasstheanswers leaving 6mo twins and a 4yo

If anybody would like to show their condolences, post here and we'll organise it. I'll take on construction again unless someone else would like a turn?

IvySedai (who messaged me to let me know) is happy to co-ordinate so PM's from Donors and Crafters needing a match to her please.

Previous squares were 6", knitted or crocheted. Blues, pinks and purples were the most popular colours. Debbie Bliss Cashmerino or Rowan Cashsoft DK (links are just the first ones I found on google) It's also available in John Lewis.

Lastly, was there anything in particular that Magic liked and could be incorporated in the design?

Buppers - it's the wrong one. If you click on the link that DutchOma has on her post, it takes you straight to the right stuff. It's not the baby one. :(

here you are - saves you trawling back for it!

Or get it through Lydia - she's doing it cheaper and free postage.

Oh bollocks. It's a bleedin' minefield, this knitting malarkey.

Nevermind, I'll give my ball to MIL and get her to do me a tea cosy out of it or summat. I'll contact Lydia. Thanks Thumb :)

Hi all, this is so sad that it needs to be done. I knew magic from the ttc/pg after mc threads and would love to take part.

I've pm'd lydia about ordering wool...but am also happy to be matched with a donor and knit a few more squares if it's needed...will pm you ivy

This is really uplifting at such a sad time, to see so many people...and lots of you not even knowing magic...willing to give up their time and money to help with a project like this.

My wool arrived this morning :)

I've made one square so far. Will have a go at a different one later or tomorrow.

I have started the second square out of the ball I was sent a while ago. I hope to get them done today/tomorrow and get them posted at the end of the month

just a bump for newcomers:
lydiathetattooedlady is selling the Debbie Bliss Cashmerino DK at £3.00 per ball to MNers.
She'll accept PMs.

:)

are they still 6" squares pidj?

Yes they are still 6" I know I'm not pidj, but thought I would answer your question.

thanks! it didn't have to be pidj , just someone who knows, and you do, so you'll do

yeah, and i've just noticed it does say that in the OP

It's OK, it's nice to get the reassurance that it's right. :)

We're nearly 300 posts in, who cares about the op?!

Yer lady's wrong, Buppy, they're different weights - go in armed with some facts and they should refund you as it was mis-sold... Otherwise, get MIL to make you a soft and snuggly slouchy hat for the winter

Or, put your business Lydia's way as she's been so generous with her livelihood!

Sad sad news. My sister-in-law is a RL friend of Magic's, she is also a twin mum. If anyone knows funeral details, please could you PM me?

I will just give it to MIL. She likes a nice wool.

I've PMd Lydia. Hopefully I can buy some from her and I will pay her P&P, wouldn't hear of not paying it.

LCR, there's a condolence thread as well - you're more than welcome here but might get more relevant information there

Buppy, it's a lovely present

The lovelyLydia, that's how she should be known from now on, is even going to knit my squares for me.

I've put a pic on my profile of the square I have made if anyone wants to see it. Obviously you don't have to. Do people usually upload the pics of squares they have made?

Thanks. Away for weekend so will pm when home.

LCR - if you PM Lia66, she says on here that she knew Magic and her family so she might be able to tell you as well.

Your square is lovely, 100years.

That's beautiful, 100

The last few have had their own album on my fb page so people can tag themselves. Just look for the MumsNet Blankets folder

business fb page sorry, try again!

Am also willing to help, can knit. Habe pm'ed Lydia and Ivy. MN at its absolute best

Gorgeous square 100 years!
