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?

Mind that point!

ha pidji that is how I think of it.

do you do 1dc in each st then? what about when there us a knitted next to a crocheted square?

"But then, what's an Extended Treble Crochet???"

Something you made up?

[innocent]
[clueless]

It's a label, innit Soupy.

Knotty have PM'ed you.

Sticky, you wiggle it round until you find the gap! It does work, although there may have to be more picnics involved if you get stuck

"Another version of the Triple Crochet is the Extended Triple Crochet. To make the Extended Triple Crochet - yo twice, insert hook into top two loops of stitch (unless otherwise specified) just as you do with the regular stitch, then yo, pull through (4 lps on hk), yo, pull through ONE loop only (still 4 lps on hk), then complete the stitch as normal with (yo, pull through 2 lps) 3 times"

Obviously not what I'm doing then

Sorry, PurpleP, i couldn't concentrate after sniggering childishly at the double entendres in your opening paragraph. to be fair, I have just come from the Downton Abbey thread.

Have just updated the Woolly arrivals thread.

There's quite a wool mountain here now

Soupy! Behave!

In fact, over 30 little packages of woolly squares.

NOooooooOooooO keep being smutty that's the first time I've (genuinely) smiled all day

Like I'd manage to stop her anyhow

[crestfallen]

How could you say that of me?

Actually, doing the row of DC round the Bear in the bear squares is rather like PurpleP described: Stick it in any hole you can see and hope no one notices if it is the wrong one.

[snigger]

oh bums...i thought id posted on here on thursday but it was obviously a figment of my tired imagination! My little boy has been ill with a rahter nasty water infection
purplepidj could you possible send me the links for the blankets so i can see the layout please.
Is there a deadline date for the blanket? x x

Lydia, this is yours

The little yellow squares are post-its to show where your squares will go. Left to right: Top row: Child's initial in intarsia; "R" in whatever the other thing is called. Next row: Mum square

Does that make sense?

lydia, there is no rush to finish the blankets quickly right now, we may wait for the memory book to have gone round to all who are involved with that, and as I am and probably will be feeling rather rough for the forseeable future, I am going to take this slowly.

oh and pidj, more picnics are always welcome. I enjoyed it :)

The news on cupoftea's little girl isn't good I'm afraid :(

Soupy, I saw that too .

Just seen.

:( so sad.

lydia, how many squares do you have with you now? I have 55 and a couple more incoming from magic's friends.. just wondered.
