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?

Oh cheers, you lot Grin

Now, who is going to let me out of this little room?

GrownUpNow · 27/09/2011 16:20

Hiya. I still just have the two squares as I've injured my shoulder and I am in a sling at the moment. Hopefully be getting out of it soon so I can knit up the lovely green wool I have, to go with the purple wool I've already done. x

"Now, who is going to let me out of this little room?"

Probably not me.

purplepidjinawoollytangle · 27/09/2011 17:20

I'll let you out on Tuesday as long as you buy me cake in that shop again

GrownUpNow, hope you feel better soon. I'm sure the squares will be worth the wait.

Feeling notatall a bit guilty, Pistey relents and lets Knotty out of the darkened room.

We only had your best interests at heart you know Knots.

RatherBeOnThePiste · 27/09/2011 18:07

I don't know what happened there. Hmm I'm not normally so kind. Grin

KnottyLocks · 27/09/2011 18:09

Nessa, my lovely, you're welcome to join me in my room. You'll have to find the key first though.

Oi, Pidj, yeeeeeeeeeeessssssss, FRIEND. Now, get me outta here.

I see you have been freed. look, you even had your gin returned.

pidj I just had visions of you doing a hermione-style hands up dance at your desk :o

RatherBeOnThePiste · 27/09/2011 18:38

Stick - I don't think Knotty wants to come out. Grin

Well, I'm glad to see that by ten o'clock you were all in bed, at least off the internet, with or without the gin.

Ellen

KnottyLocks · 28/09/2011 23:01

Evening all. Been working today, same again tomorrow.Will pop back in tomorrow night.

Ali, I'll get back to you then, if that's ok Smile

SoupDragon · 29/09/2011 07:54

I had a mad thought... Could we knit a bunch of bees, flowers and hearts etc and send them off to cupoftea? Scraps of wool and no construction so minimal coordination but just a small shower of wooly hugs...?

if construction was required, they could be strung up like a mobile fairly easily.

KnottyLocks · 29/09/2011 08:02

Soupy, I've been making loads of little flowers out of the leftovers people have sent me. I was going to put them on the current blankets.

And have been watching the thread Sad
I'm at work today but will give it some thought. I like the idea of a flowery mobile or even a bunting style thing.
I'll get back to you later. No, it's not a mad thought at all.
