MrsKwazii's eldest DD has passed away today after an acident. She was 4. Sad

Could we get together and do another blanket?

Oh how awful :(

I'm happy to crochet if there is a donor

SoupDragon · 26/02/2012 14:48

I could probably manage the construction if necessary.

[gulp]

KnottyLocks · 26/02/2012 14:51

I can't knit or crochet but count me in for a contribution for wool.

My tummy did a flip when I saw her tweet. Such awful news Sad

PPPop · 26/02/2012 15:00

I can sew but not knit.

Would like to contribute to wool though.

How devastating. Poor mrs kwazii and family. Sad

DirtyMartini · 26/02/2012 15:01

I'm no use at any crafts but would like to donate wool or whatever else is needed. Dreadful news, just saw on Twitter.

SixtyFootDoll · 26/02/2012 15:10

I can't sew or knit, would like to donate.
Devastating.

RatherBeOnThePiste · 26/02/2012 15:15

I think my blood ran cold. This poor, poor family.

I have replied to the PMs I have had, thank you so much everyone for pointing the way over here. We have talked about organisation and Knots is just working out the logistics of taking this on and links to twitter.

Count me in on this one too. I ordered two balls of the wool do will knit/crochet those and send them in. Happy to take donations of wool to make more, but can't afford to buy more sadly.

Thoughts are with the family x

QuincyMincemeat · 26/02/2012 15:27

what Blathers said Sad. I'm stunned.

TheRealMBJ · 26/02/2012 15:27

There is a lot of MN/twitter overlap, just a few who aren't on here.

I can knit, and do most basic stitches.

Never done anything like this before so please just let me know what I need to do.

Ps I can probably knock out 2 squares or more if needed depending on size.

bytheMoonlight · 26/02/2012 15:32

Awful news Sad Poor family, my thoughts are with them.

Would also like to donate wool

woollyideas · 26/02/2012 15:33

Another knitter signing in to help. Can someone post yarn details etc? And if anyone can contribute any yarn for squares I'd be very grateful.

Poor Mrs Kwamii - every parent's worst nightmare. Awful news.

Mouseface · 26/02/2012 15:36

Pistey - let me know where you want the money to go to if it's you that's setting an account up please. xx

hookaduck · 26/02/2012 15:40

Awful news Sad Would like to donate

Does anyone know what happened?

GentleOtter · 26/02/2012 15:41

Awful news, just desperately sad.

Am willing to knit squares.

Al0uise · 26/02/2012 15:43

It was the saddest, most shocking Tweet ever.

I'm no knitter but I'm very happy to donate.

Dingle · 26/02/2012 15:45

Oh goodness! Such awful news!

I am also awaiting wool to knit for Wubbly's blanket, more than happy to knit a few more if the wool could be donated/paid for.

My heart goes out to the families! XX

RatherBeOnThePiste · 26/02/2012 15:45

Thank you so much everyone for your generosity, we will be going ahead with this I believe, just working it out x

GhastlyBespoke · 26/02/2012 15:46

Have just seen this awful news on Twitter.

Please count me in for a donation.

tribpot · 26/02/2012 15:48

Please count me in - I assume it will be 6" squares in DK.

So very sorry to hear this sad news.
