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.

Oi - Pistey" - didn't I contribute to this one, or did the squares I gave you* go to a different blanket?

[RatherBeOnThePiste]

ello lovely!

Yes your squares I use that term quite loosely regarding one of them arf are going into the blanket for Chipmonkey. I am hoping for a few more squares this week, maybe even today just keeping my fingers crossed that Whore doesn't send me something random by mistake and then I think that the making side is done. Then I'll post a very long list of lovely crafters, and you will be there!!!!!!

And thank you.
And obviously I am only joking re the ribbed square not being square, before you go off on a tirade!!!

Are you expecting more squares or do you need more squares?

[RatherBeOnThePiste]

Soupy - you are so sweet, but thank you, we have plenty of squares, there just have been a couple of people whose knitting got held up by life in the real world.

Still arffing about your parcel and DH's embarrassment. Worth every penny!!
Cheers!!

[SoupDragon]

That's fine, just checking :)

Has your DH opened the door to the postie since then?

[RatherBeOnThePiste]

Do you know Soupy - I actually don't think he has!

[SoupDragon]

Sorry about that!

[RatherBeOnThePiste]

Really don't be

[RatherBeOnThePiste]

Morning and cheers

[prettybird]

:) I will fully acknowledge that the cabling did pull in the sides a bit on my first attempt. But it stretches out OK I learnt to put in a stablising rib in the next one. :)

[RatherBeOnThePiste]

So it does

[RatherBeOnThePiste]

Morning
At the end now of this making stage for the blanket for Chip. If perchance there are any more squares to come, please do still send them, just PM for the address.

But today it is time to say thank you to all the lovely folk who knitted and crocheted for Chip

A very big thank you to:

[KnottyLocks]

Aren't people lovely.


Big to you, Pistey.

[SoupDragon]

We are a nest of wooly vipers. :)

[prettybird]

And a double to you Piste for coordinating it

[cookielove]

Sorry to resurecte this old thread but i was just wondering if the blanket is finished and if so is there a link to the photo?


cookie

[cookielove]

resurecte - actually resurrect doh!!

[RatherBeOnThePiste]

resurecte or resurrect - either way, no worries!

The blanket for Chipmonkey is under construction, Knotty has been very busy indeed, so no pics as yet, but it is going to be absolutely glorious. Cookie, I'll make sure you see the link when it comes, but it won't be for a while just yet.

[cookielove]

Oh great, i wasn't sure how long a construction took so thought i would do the easy thing and just ask

Thanks for the update

[ali11]

[RatherBeOnThePiste]

[WhoremoaneeGrainger]

[RatherBeOnThePiste]

Hello Osmiornica


The blanket is going to be delivered to the lovely Chipmonkey on Good Friday. We will be linking to some photographs just before it goes to her and her family, so look out for a link just around Easter time.
