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?

Oi knotty! Enough with picking on my typo's. Or I will be forced to "lol" you again!

Can I just check, is last posting for both WTW and cheese's blankets on Satuday? Got my wool today so need to get motoring.

Yeah but you can use the same method to reattach the same colour if necessary, Pistey

I am busy sewing the border round the outside of my first ever blanket (friends baby arrived safe and well this morning). I am rather pleased with it -it's not perfect but it looks lovely.

Then I can get back to squares for these blankets.

Photos of the last batch on my profile now. Will go in the post to Knotty tomorrow.

Knotty, did you get a purple/blue "square" from me last week? I say "square" as once I'd done about half of it, I realised that it was too wide, and yet I'd struggled with my previous one sent to PurplePidjin was too small. [inexperienced knitter emoticon]

I hope it doesn't cause you too many headaches!! I'm now attempting to do the next one from a corner, but I don't really know how to m1. The stitches are increasing on the needles, but I'm fairly certain I'm doing it wrong. Will persevere and hopefully learn.

Congratulations Soupie's friend!

Stunning as ever, Oma Star

Pidj - doing stripes must create a whole lot of pesky ends methinks?
Me also thinks I am probs being too ambitious Grin

having struggled with putting 36 squares together, I have nothing but admiration for those involved in doing these blankets!

RatherBeOnThePiste · 12/09/2011 22:07

I love it Pidj!!!!!

purplepidjinawoollytangle · 12/09/2011 22:15

Yeah, but Soupie - I can't knit

SoupDragon · 12/09/2011 22:36

Pidjin, neither can I

Meow, I posted a Star for you on the woolly shout outs thread. It ^may6 be a wee bit wider than 6" Smile. Don't you worry, I'm on the case!

TinyWee, sorry, couldn't help myself. Please don't be a Lolling everywhere. Noooooooo.

Soupy, good effort. I'm booking you to help me out> I'm thinking fabric glue is the way forward Grin

KnottyLocks · 12/09/2011 22:56

See, littered with typos. Time for bed!

KnottyLocks · 12/09/2011 23:01

Woolly thank you thread is here

I'll post your names on it when I get your squares.

puddleofpiddle · 12/09/2011 23:30

Finished 4 squares and will post on Weds Smile
I've taken pics but I've got a lot of pics to upload from hols and I've not put pics on my profile before so it may take some time to get myself organised! Thanks again to my donor Grin

RatherBeOnThePiste · 13/09/2011 15:51

A woolly thank you thread.... Aw, that's so lovely Grin

KnottyLocks · 13/09/2011 15:55

RatherBeOnThePiste · 13/09/2011 17:21

Well bless you, but you may not think that when you see my PSB second needy square Hmm

KnottyLocks · 13/09/2011 17:30

Why? What have you done to it?

Shoulddohousework · 13/09/2011 17:39
