Blanket Number 6, please help [sad]

[purplepidjin]

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?

If anyone remembers about a squillion posts ago and possibly on another thread, 100years was rushing to get her squares done before her due date...

Baby girl born 13:36 on Friday 9th September weighing 6lb 9oz

Congratulations, 100years, if you get a chance to read this

Lovely squares, the baby is gorgeous!

I've sent mine and Hairy Potter's squares today, I hope they will arrive in time. I've uploaded a tiny picture onto my profile.

Knotty, sorry about the scribbled note you will receive, after some speed-knitting I was running for the post office.

Hi everyone, I received my wool from sauvignon this morning. I have three squares completed (on profile) and may manage to get a white one done with left over wool.

I will be posting them all on Monday - hope that will be OK?

Monday is absolutely fine

And congratulations to 100Years. Your little baby is very very beautiful.

Glad to hear Monday is fine as I'm not going to make last post today :) I've just got back to these squares having finished the baby blanket I was making for a friend.

Am I still posting them to pidj?

Moanna, post them to me, please. I'll PM you now.

Thanks, have replied.

Posting mine on Monday too, Knotty. Am currently sewing in the "Pesky Ends" and will parcel up and post first thing on Monday. I may even get to put pics on my profile. My donors stayed anonymous but a big thank you to them.

Ah those pesky ends

Woolly shout out thread is here. Check to see if your squares have arrived.

Knotty have PM'ed you.

Arse. I missed the post Knotty I ran and ran as fast as my little legs would carry me......
OK, well technically I didn't actually run but I missed it anyway.

Squares are done and all packed up, ready to go.

oh no :(

Soupie, your turn. Knotty and I are already up to our armpits organising five, yes five blankets - we physically can't take on any more at the moment

Mine went off to you this morning, if you want to see what's coming here they are.

Sadly I can't as I'm up to my armpits in personal shit. I just don't have the emotion energy to spare. :(

Oh God, that's another tragic story A dear friend's child had Edwards.

I can't think in terms of another blanket at the moment only because I'm doing these two and trying to sort the raffle. I've got work and my family too
What I can do is see if there are any squares left over once I've sorted through. I'll have a clearer picture by then end of next week as I know there are a fair few squares coming in late.

Once we know, then maybe we'll see, but I can't promise it'll be me to sew it up. I'm ok with the admin bit though...

Oh my word - Bloody hell that's tragic Blimey

Knots - I would be very happy to sew a blanket together, if you showed me what to do. I am very good at learning things. And I am being serious with this offer you know

Piste, that's very kind of you. You are lovely.

I already feel I have a connection to this story, so will more than likey take it on as I can't not, if you see what I mean. Maybe we can do it as a team.

I'll watch the thread. I don't think it's appropriate to contact them at this time though. Unless of course anyone knows CupofTea?

Morning all.

I'm sending PMs round today: reminders for those who haven't sent their squares. If you have sent yours and get my PM, I apologise.

I dont know cupoftea but would be willing to do more knitting if you need additional squares knotty. I would need more wool though.

Mine are ready to go in the post today. Ignore the note with them that talks about hoping it is the last blanket for a good while.
