We have heard the very sad news that our own lovely WubblyBubbly passed away very peacefully this week, after two years living with breast cancer. MrWubbly let us know on this thread, where many have expressed their condolences and shared their memories of Wubbly.
We have offered to make a blanket for MrWubbly and their son, Lawrie. MrWubbly has said that both he and Lawrie would love this and they are very touched by the idea. We hope that it may bring whatever comfort it can to them both.
So, we need knitters, crocheters and donors. If you would like to donate wool, then we can match you up with a crafter.
RatherBeOnThePiste will coordinate and match crafters and donors, and deal with the admin side. I'll try to answer any queries you may have and will put together the blanket.
If you would like to be involved in any way, please post on this thread and PM Pistey with your offers: crafting, donating, need wool, etc, and she will match you up.
If you are offering to donate, we would be grateful if you would let us know if you'd like to donate 1 or 2 balls of wool. They cost roughly £5 per ball.
Crafters, if you need wool please let Pistey know if you'd like 1 or 2 balls of wool.
One ball should make at least 2 x 6" squares.
Thank you all so very much

Fabulous woolly squares arriving today from:
Soupy 
A surprisingly normal package! 
PuddleofPiddle
All gorgeous
I'm going to Didcot today to meet more lovely blanketeers! Hopefully someone will be able to sort out my latest knitting cock up 
Morning 
Nessa, I'll let you off with the pseky ends because you are loverly.
Have replied to all PMs, and I've sent you the address NoMoreMarbles!
Back at lunchtime
I have very nearly finished my squares! Do I inbox pistey again? For where to send them I mean
They arrived fast only posted them on friday!
Sorry about the pesky ends.
In that case, Soupy, we'd have to be Captain and Morgan
They are burning flaming red this morning!
If we go for rum, we'd have to be rum and rum
No problem, Daffs.
Pistey and I are like, um, gin & tonic.
You wouldn't mistake us in real life though, for she's tall and very slim and her eyes burn flaming red
And I am shorter
Oooh, sorry knotty, I wrote Pistey on my note
I am very relieved they have arrived though
Thank you too to another lovely donor, we really appreciate your support.
