Hi! im glad my squares got there safely! I forgot to put the name of my donors in but the squares will be split betweenthe one i'm sewing up and the ones your're doing purple, any-whooooooooooooo...my donors were lewisfan, ripstheir and lavita.

For the blanket im sewing together i was just going to see what the squares are like and use the debbie bliss yarn from my shop that goes with it best to do the borders x

Sorry to intrude this on this lovely thread of thankyous, I know it isn't really the right place but the other two threads have been less active so I wanted to post it somewhere people would see.

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/bereavement/1302293-My-newborn-girl-is-going-to-die-not-sure-what-to-do-now Please have a look at this and consider whether or not there might be a case for another blanket?

Thumbwitch · 20/09/2011 12:26

Oh oh oh - am not exactly sorry that I posted that previous post but it comes out that the OP's baby is not going to die after all, which is fantastic news for her so feel free to ignore my suggestion entirely. :)

KnottyLocks · 20/09/2011 12:43

Cheers, Thumb. We were on stand-by after reading that thread. I am so very very pleased we can stand down Smile

KnottyLocks · 20/09/2011 13:11

LadyWellian · 21/09/2011 17:56

Knotty - squares dry, finished, parcelled up, addressed and in my bag but the arsebollocking post office here seems to shut early on a Wednesday (how provincial! Grin) so yet another day goes by that they are not on their way. Tomorrow, I promise. [not my fault this time emoticon]

[stars] all round for all the efficient people!

KnottyLocks · 21/09/2011 18:09

Oh those arsebollocking post offices, eh? Grin

I'm sure they'll be worth the wait.

KnottyLocks · 21/09/2011 18:28

Knotty - I am not sure who my donor was or if you have any squares from it - can you check and let me know!

not my donor but my recipient - I am a donor Confused
