Following on from the blanket for Magic8 which is under construction, we'd like to offer one to Whatevertheweather who has recently lost her baby daughter.

I know there is already an army of knitters and crocheters and donors out there; would anyone be able to join us?

beargryllsbra My shop is up a little walkway next to a posh jewellers. There's a cafe in our little courtyard too! It was most likely mine as there was only one other wool shop which closed about 4 years ago but it was on a main street!
Ooh to think we may have crossed paths! x

I've been called for a job interview on tuesday lunchtime, I'm hoping they make it later or it'll be a very fast coffee with ivy and I might get cake down my suit Shock

Knotty - can you check with my donor if my wool has arrived - which I don't doubt it has as it was sent via the wonderful Lydia - not sure what colour as I asked her to chose a random colour :)

RatherBeOnThePiste · 09/09/2011 17:37

I have just posted my Knitting to the Knotty One
Maybe I should rephrase that....
I have just posted my Knotting to the Knitty One Grin

KnottyLocks · 09/09/2011 17:48

Oi Piste, Knitty but certainly not nitty. I check regular like. Grin

I think Pidj can do Saturdays.

SDTGisAnEvilGenius · 09/09/2011 18:59

I hope I'm not too late - I have been very busy making stock for my first ever craft fair (fingers crossed people will buy it) so will be putting my squares in the post on Monday - is that going to be OK, or am I too late?

BearGryllsBra · 09/09/2011 19:06

Lydia, small world eh? I'll pop in and stroke your wool next time I come to Melton then :)

Good luck with the interview purple, hope it all goes well for you.

Pistey, been out yet? I have not. Blush

Thanks bear

Sdtg, monday posting would be best sent to knotty if that's ok? I'm hoping tuesday's interview doesn't screw up my arrangements with ivy to divide up squares Sad

Ali and Ruby, I look forward to receiving yours. Thank you both.

Ali, no idea how many squares we'll have. If we need more, I'll be in touch. Thanks for the offer. Smile

Thumbwitch · 10/09/2011 12:54

PKM they are lovely and so is the heart one on alibubbles' profile.
How is it going with the Star emoticon? Are MNHQ still thinking about it or have they said No?

Georgimama · 10/09/2011 12:57
