Very sadly another blanket is needed, for Chipmonkey....

[RatherBeOnThePiste]

We have heard the dreadfully sad news that Chipmonkey's baby daughter died unexpectedly this week. Condolence thread is here Chipmonkey has said tonight that she would love to receive a MN blanket.

Because Knotty is snowed under a mountain of wool, I am taking on the coordination for this, so if you are a donor or a crafter needing a match - please PM me and I will match you up. I know there is an amazing army of donor, knitter and crochet stars, and I am hoping that you will feel able to help with this blanket too.

So if you feel that you can help, please PM me with your offers: crafting, donating, need wool, don't need wool, and I will sort it all out, and when you are ready to post, PM me for the address.

I will have to get back on the deadline...

But thank you in advance.

Wool is the same as before

If we continue with the palette we've used for previous blankets, we can use any spares.

Piste will handle the admin. Pidj and I will hook it all together once we've gathered the squares

Good luck, Pistey

Am happy to buy wool to forward to a knitter

Blimee yes - I'm only doing the admin part As we all know, my knitting is erm..... basic

Knotty - I have read everything you sent

Oh God, what else did I include?

I haven't contributed to an MN blanket before, but I would like to. I'm very hard up at the minute, so if possible would be very grateful for any wool that lovely MNers have donated to knit the square with, if that's ok?

Mary, PM Piste with your address, she'll match you up with a donor.

I think I've got some wool I can donate.

BOF, Thanks.

We're using Debbie Bliss Casmerino DK and Rowan Cashsoft DK to ensure the blanket can be washed and any shrinkage of wool will be the same.

i would be happy to donate wool as I can't knit :(

dk is double knit isn't it?

just want to make sure i buy the right stuff.

ok cool. do you want me to PM you so that you have my name, or will you PM me with an address to send it to?

how much would I need to get?

Pm me and I'll sort you out!

A few of us have used Cucumberpatch here for wool. They send very quickly. If you have a look in their Yarn Bargains section, often they have colours in the range we use, at a discount price.

I've sent you a PM Piste

I can't knit to save my life, but would be more than happy to donate money/send wool to someone who can, if you would let me?

BIWI

PM Piste, she'll match you up. Thanks.

If you would like wool sent to you, please PM Piste your address

If you would like to donate, please PM Piste

A ball of the wool we use costs around £5. It will make 2 or 3 squares.

Thanks for organising, it's so sad.

I'd love to knit, I'll PM you, Piste.

Helo BIWI - how's the low carb?! Yes PM me and I'll sort you

MaryMary - I've replied to you
