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?

OK, 8sqs by 8 is a goer Grin

I have enough squares for both Pidj and Lydia.

So, Lydia, you have 44, so I need to send you 20. Yes?

purplepidjinawoollytangle · 27/09/2011 13:24

Ooh yay, I'm halfway done Grin

Thanks
StickThemWithThePointyEnd · 27/09/2011 13:30

so we are going with 64?
that is definitely doable for me, I have had some messages from people who wanted to send squares but passed the deadline to post, or from magic's friends who wanted to send some more.

ooh and Thanks to everyone who has been involved thus far!

64

StickThemWithThePointyEnd · 27/09/2011 13:47

brill. I know what I am doing, then.

RatherBeOnThePiste · 27/09/2011 14:29

Oh Blimeeee - what a busy morning you've all had!

I think you may all need to go and have a lie down in a darkened room and recover Grin

And Knots - Behave. I don't think you should be topping people willy nilly.

So... what size have you decided upon then?

KnottyLocks · 27/09/2011 14:33

Tempting me a tad there, Pistey Grin

NessaRose · 27/09/2011 15:12

Knotty Grin

Blush I forgot toput the note in! Sorry!

NessaRose · 27/09/2011 15:13
  • to put.
lydiathetattooedlady · 27/09/2011 15:16

Hi! yep ive got 44 squares x

RatherBeOnThePiste · 27/09/2011 15:26
Confused
KnottyLocks · 27/09/2011 15:27

Cheers, Nessa. Smile

Okey dokey, Lydia. I'm afraid it'll be Friday before I can post them as I have work for the next two days. Hope that's ok. The squares will be predominantly pinks, lilacs and darker pinks with a couple of blues, a yellow and green. No idea if that helps or not.

64, 64, 64 zoo lane

KnottyLocks · 27/09/2011 15:38

There's one with a hump
And one who can jump
And one who is, well, a little bit plump.
64, 64, 64 Zoo Lane

Some like it hot
and some like it chilly,
and some like it both ways and that's a bit silly.
64, 64, 64 Zoo Lane

Some are friendly,
some are scary,
but one thing is sure : not one is or-di-na-ry.

64, 64, 64 Zoo Lane

Some are spotty,
some are stripy,
they're prickly and woolly and furry and slimy.
Some are quite big
and some very small,
and the last one's Georgina who's incredibly tall.

Tis like the Blanketeers Grin

KnottyLocks · 27/09/2011 15:38

Not naming names, oh no.

RatherBeOnThePiste · 27/09/2011 15:40
Hmm

Takes back gin....

StickThemWithThePointyEnd · 27/09/2011 15:41

Well, I am definitely stripy, a little bit furry and sometimes prickly :o

KnottyLocks · 27/09/2011 15:44
Hmm
KnottyLocks · 27/09/2011 15:46

I'm definitely in the woolly today. Brian is very fluffy.

KnottyLocks · 27/09/2011 15:46

I can't even type a coherent sentence, for Gawd's sake.

StickThemWithThePointyEnd · 27/09/2011 15:52

too much gin? Wink

RatherBeOnThePiste · 27/09/2011 15:53

Okayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy...
Knotty I think you need to go and have a leetle lie down? Without the gin?
