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?

MNHQ's thread about the Thanks is here

Blanketeers get a mention! Grin We famous!

On the otherhand, I expect we'll get the blame too. If so, stuff em Grin

purplepidjinawoollytangle · 26/09/2011 20:42

I've got plenty of fibrefill for stuffing folk if they get the hump Wink

I think you are all bloody marvellous so here is a Thanks from me. I am in touch with Knotty re providing some wool for a square knitter - are there any pics of the finished products or are they too sensitive?

KnottyLocks · 26/09/2011 23:09

Exit, there are some pics of our previous projects here

Once we've sorted through the squares, no doubt we'll start posting pics of the current projects.

I'll be intouch very soon. Smile

purple Shall i add my other 8 to the top and bottom of the image that you've sent? or down a side? i can make extra to fatten it out.

purplepidjinawoollytangle · 27/09/2011 11:24

I think we should go for extras top and bottom. The only thing is that we do need to make them all the same size otherwise one sister might feel hard done by!

KnottyLocks · 27/09/2011 11:29

I've got a load of squares here.

What we thought were the ones leftover from Magics are in a separate pile to my WTW and Cheese pile.

There are enough of Magic's to send some to Lydia and keep some for you, Pidj. You lovely lot just need to decide on a finished size first.

purplepidjinawoollytangle · 27/09/2011 11:47

Make a decision? Moi? Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

KnottyLocks · 27/09/2011 12:28

Right, if you all did a blanket that was 8 sqs by 6, that would need 56 squares.
Ivy has that number.
I can top Lydia and you, Pidj.

Whatcha think?

KnottyLocks · 27/09/2011 12:31

Obviously, that should be top you up.

In no way do I want to top you Grin

KnottyLocks · 27/09/2011 12:32

Arse.
8 x 7, was what I was supposed to put.

KnottyLocks · 27/09/2011 12:33

I'm doing well here Grin

Fingers and brain not working well together.

SoupDragon · 27/09/2011 12:47

Could you have got anything more wrong in that post? :o

KnottyLocks · 27/09/2011 12:56

Doubt it, Soupy Grin

I think my brain is orbitting the moon toady.

KnottyLocks · 27/09/2011 12:57

Oh for the love of God!

orbiting

today

Although 'toady' is more appropriate. Grin

7x8 is ok, but leaves the central 4 squares not being very central
knotty are there enough leftover squares to top lydia and pidj up to 56? or are there more? if there are more we can go for 8*8 and I can do another shout out to magic's friends to either let me have their leftover wool or make a couple more squares.
I have literally just made a square out of all my leftover donated scraps. have a heap more of my own debbie bliss I can use if needed but obviously don't want to add more squares and end up with odd numbers...

SoupDragon · 27/09/2011 13:01

[snigger]

KnottyLocks · 27/09/2011 13:04

I'm counting.

Maybe some time Grin

KnottyLocks · 27/09/2011 13:07

Pidj, how many squares have you got?

KnottyLocks · 27/09/2011 13:09

Pidj is counting Wink

KnottyLocks · 27/09/2011 13:10

Bloody maths.
