A Blanket for WubblyBubbly's family: knitters, crocheters and donors sign up here.

[KnottyLocks]

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

Hello Daffodils I'm just going to send you a quick PM

[DaffodilsAhoy]

Wow thanks! Very efficient

[KnottyLocks]

Tis the gin, Daffodils

[PurplePidjin]

Morning all! Glad Gravitas has volunteered, the only orange I've got is neon and give me a headache to work with...

[VeryLittleGravitas]

My amigurumi wool is acrylic...does that matter?

I have that neon orange wool as well Pidgey, I haven't got a clue why I bought it, or what I'm going to make with it.

[PurplePidjin]

I bought to make dp a hat for when he's running in winter

It may have a white stripes round the middle and points on the brim

[KnottyLocks]

Very, acrylic will be fine as we'll include the little fella as an extra with the blanket rather than actually attach it. I have a ball of orange casmerino if you'd prefer that.

[SoupDragon]

Maybe do a square with a little pocket on it to put him in...?

[messymammy]

Hi, I've sent piste a pm :)

[Whenisitmysleepytime]

Wow!

Thanks to my donor! Wool arrived this morning! Quick work and thank you to HT!
A lovely shade of tweak bunny green. (for all you Octonauts fans!)

[WhoremoaneeGrainger]

OMG. Have just received my wool. Two balls, one a lovely green, and a bleatiful denimy blue. Thank you so much donor, whoever you are.

and PISTEY - it wasnt adressed to The Whore

[WhoremoaneeGrainger]

bleatiful = beautiful obviously

[OpheliaBumps]

Knotty I found a Captain Barnacles too Barnacles, I'll volunteer to make him as well, would be great if we can find a Peso & a crafty volunteer too as they're the 3 main characters I think.

[KnottyLocks]

Good work, Ophelia

There is a Peso pattern online : not for free though. Am on phone atm, but will link when near puter.

[PurplePidjin]

I'm happy to attempt Peso

What does it look like???

Well it's obviously possible!

[OpheliaBumps]

Peso is a little penguin, very cute.

Amigurumi's a lot easier than I expected, I hadn't crocheted for many years, then I got back into it last year & attempted an amigurumi nativity - I was surprised how well it turned out. (Although anyone who saw it may scoff at that remark - to clarify - the amigurumi was easy, finding safety eyes small enough for baby Jesus wasn't, so yes, he did look slightly like a scary alien).

[JaxTellerIsMyFriend]

ok, found this thread. Im in, will PM pistey to find out details.

very sad news.

[SoupDragon]

My wool arrived this morning from EH via Cucumberpatch :) Thankfully my nice postman left it in my recycling box on the porch rather than returning it to the sorting office.

For Peso, could you do this head and adapt the body from one of the others?

[KnottyLocks]

Found it:

[Pastabee]

[KnottyLocks]

Ophelia, I know I shouldn't be laughing but your alien baby Jesus has given me the giggles. What will you do to Captain Barnacles?

[RatherBeOnThePiste]

Lunchtime! I'm just going to work through an enormously big pile of PMs - thank you to everyone, and Pastabee, I certainly will

And wool has arrived with crafters! Smashing Wow we have super speedy donors!
Thank you too to CreepyWeeBrackets, your envelope has arrived, and you are very generous, AND I agree it does go Knives, Forks, Spoons!!
