A little thread so I can acknowledge people who have sent squares for the Blankets (Magic8ball, Whatevertheweather and Cheeseandgherkins) and also so that folk know their kindness has arrived safely!

Initals MB who did tell me her squares were on their way but I've forgotten the username Blush possibly 100years who I know is working to a tight deadline Star

I have 24 squares already Shock which is a 3'x2' blanket all on it's own!

Ooh lovely my squares have arrived! I hope they are ok.

Good luck with sewing the blankets all together, I'm sure they are going to be beautiful :)

[Star] for all the organisers and makers.

Wow - completely missed the existence of this thread Grin but what an amazing lot of woolly squares are travelling around the country at the mo. Fab

Sorry Pidjin, it's damp here in Wales! Grin

KnottyLocks · 13/09/2011 16:29

I've had to let my postie in on it. He thinks the blankets are a marvellous thing and will tuck any parcels too big for my letterbox (which is titchy) in a safe place rather than take them back to the depot.

So a Star for my postie too.

purplepidjinawoollytangle · 13/09/2011 17:21

Poster, I assumed it was last-minute blocking!!

Giant Star for Knotty's postie - if there was anywhere sensible to leave stuff round here I'm pretty sure mine would too. Unfortunately, my English speaking neighbours are twats and my trustworthy, nice neighbours don't speak much English!

Meow75isknittinglikemad · 13/09/2011 22:31

Glad the ones I've done have arrived. I think I've mastered m1, so am trying to do the next one from the corner, as my attempts to knit a 6" edge have been so stressful (and unsuccessful) so far.

Star to all donors and crafters and DOUBLE [STAR] to PurplePidjin and KnottyLocks. I am excited to see what the blankets will eventually look like.

So glad it's going well - all the squares I've seen photos of look beautiful and the end products are going to be fabulous, I just know it. Stars all round.

Oooooooh pweeeetty Grin

KnottyLocks · 14/09/2011 07:08

Oh that's a splendid one! Thanks, Thumb.

And for my [double star] Meow Grin

posterofawolef · 14/09/2011 13:30

more last second! i foolishly hoped they would dry in 4hours. Blush

KnottyLocks · 14/09/2011 13:35

Today's very lovely squares are from

DutchOma Star

StitchingMoss · 14/09/2011 17:23

purple, are you sure the family of teddy bears were from purpleknittingmum? I only ask cos I posted 5 on Friday, plus 5 squares and wondered if they'd arrived? Blush

purplepidjinawoollytangle · 14/09/2011 17:32

No not totally, I may have overlooked the name on the envelope and misremembered the name Blush

StitchingMoss · 14/09/2011 17:37

Grin one of the bears had two different coloured legs and arms - does that sound familiar?

purplepidjinawoollytangle · 14/09/2011 17:45

Sorry Blush

StitchingMoss · 14/09/2011 17:48

Grin I wasn't worried about not getting a thank you, just wanted to check they hadn't got lost!g

purplepidjinawoollytangle · 14/09/2011 18:10

Yeah but if I can't even get that right how am I going to keep track of which squares are for each blanket

purplepidjinawoollytangle · 14/09/2011 22:01

Today I got what is probably my last square

Lastyearsmodel Star

I also finished Squiffy Square

And made a teddy for the raffle Grin

SongBirdsKeepSinging · 15/09/2011 06:23

Aww pidj squiffy square looks all grown up now! Thank you for saving him :o I will remember him fondly for always :o

Vajazzler · 15/09/2011 06:35

Wow! I missed this thread too.
If any more wool is needed just let me know and i can donate some more. Not sure who i donated to lasted time as i was only given an address but i too think everyone deserves a Star.

prolificwillybreeder · 15/09/2011 08:00

PM me purple if you need more wool :)
Sadly my skills are somewhat lacking in the creating sense.

KnottyLocks · 15/09/2011 09:25

Vajazzler and Prolific , I'll need some wool to edge both Whatevertheweather's and Cheese's blankets.
Not sure what colour will be best yet: I'll need to see how the squares look together first.
Can I get back to you both once I've worked out what colours I need?

prolificwillybreeder · 15/09/2011 09:35

Of course, no problem :)

purplepidjinawoollytangle · 15/09/2011 10:23

I've got 2 balls of blue, that should be plenty as the edging (the one I've been doing) takes less than a ball. Might be worth checking with Ivy and Lydia to see what they've planned?

Vajazzler, yours went to Rubycon, it's ^^ up there, you've got a Star Grin
