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!

Vajazzler (donor) and Rubycon (crafter) Star Star

CalRabbit Star

Soupdragon Star

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!

Pamplemousse, yet again you try to confuse me Grin

I think 'yours' may be here, but arrived unnamed.

I'm investigating.

Knotty - I think it is my inner crocheter trying to escape and that would not be pretty!! One day if I every master any wool craft I may well be a recipient of wool!

Meow75isknittinglikemad · 22/09/2011 22:20

I posted a "square" yesterday, in double white envelope. I'm better at k2tog and ssk than m1l and m1r. I promise to keep practising

Utterly skint until payday tomorrow but I didn't want to hang onto it for any longer (I finished it on Sunday), so had to resort to multiple second class stamps to get it to you!!

KnottyLocks · 22/09/2011 22:48

Meow, it's here! Star

It'll go in, don't you worry. It'll be nice and snuggly in with the others Smile

TinyPawz · 22/09/2011 22:59

And a brown envelope folded over with 3 lilac squares, including 1 moss stitch. It cost 76p to post but there's no other markings, no postmark, no postcode,no note, nowt.

I think that may be mine.....now what the hell is moss stitch Confused.

TinyPawz · 22/09/2011 23:00

Oh it came from Belfast.....just in case you were wondering.

KnottyLocks · 22/09/2011 23:15

Aha! That sounds like yours, TinyPawz.

Moss stitch looks like this

KnottyLocks · 22/09/2011 23:18

TinyPawz · 22/09/2011 23:23

KnottyLocks · 22/09/2011 23:29

I love moss stitch: it feels very snuggly.

Gosh that was quick ! posted yesterday morning. I look forward to seeing photos of finished blankets.

LadyWellian · 23/09/2011 11:48

Trumpton I posted at 4.45 yesterday afternoon! Sometimes the arsebollocking Post Office does get the job done Grin

KnottyLocks · 24/09/2011 12:08

Oh bless the arsebollocking Post Office.

Today's package is from:

Gapants Star

Meow75isknittinglikemad · 24/09/2011 16:53

Just posted another one, but forgot to say it was from me.Blush

It's a horizontal stripey one in a recycled white envelope, and my favourite so far. It's the first time I've done fairly narrow stripes like that. I enjoyed the variety. Smile

ExitPursuedByaBear · 24/09/2011 17:01

I wish I could knit. How do I donate wool?

KnottyLocks · 24/09/2011 18:38

Exit, we're currently working on 5 blankets with the last of the squares coming in the next few days.

However, I will probably need some more wool to finish off the last of these, if you are happy to donate some wool for that.

As much as we hope we never have to do another blanket project, life doesn't quite work like that.

If you'd like to be involved, please PM me.

duchesse · 25/09/2011 11:34

Glad you got them!

Ladyface · 25/09/2011 21:16

Mine is the anonymous pink heart with a Plymouth postmark. Was on holiday in Cornwall when I finished it and didn't have anything to write a note on. I had to seal it up with one of dd's stickers as I had no sellotape! Glad it arrived safely.

KnottyLocks · 26/09/2011 14:49

Today's arrival:

Piste Star

The choc buttons fell into my mouth shortly after the school run Grin

ExitPursuedByaBear · 26/09/2011 16:58
