You're going to be the size of a woolly horse by the time you've eaten all the wee treats that have been sent to you Knottylocks Grin

You'll have to do some very vigorous crocheting to work it all off! Wink

100 calories an hour, PrettyBird. I've checked Grin

Morning all! Just stopping by to say hello as the thread has dropped off my active convos list. :)

ExitPursuedByABear · 30/03/2012 14:56

Just checking in to see how the blanket is coming along.

(Ahem - how big is it going to be - you seem to have 100s of squares Grin)

RatherBeOnThePiste · 30/03/2012 18:22

Poor Knotty's internet is misbehaving so it falls to me to announce today's woolly treasures....

Woolly parcel arriving today from:

Faverolles Star Your beautiful pinky squares have arrived safely Smile Thanks

Exit - both blankets have certainly had the most fantastic response, just brilliant, and there are still squares coming in. Supply problems have delayed some crafters, but I think everyone now has woolly wool

Grin

As soon as Knots is confident she has the majority of the squares she will begin hooking Grin Hopefully this won't be too far off now!

RatherBeOnThePiste · 30/03/2012 18:38

The size of the Isle of Wight Exit Grin

Not really Grin

There certainly has been the most touching and fantastic response to these two blankets but you know i think it may seem like there are squillions more squares than actually there are... Once Knots has sorted her internet she will I am sure have a say on this, but because we knew some crafters were making for both, she has posted arrivals on both threads.

I don't know if I'm making any sense Grin

There certainly will be plenty of squares for both blankets, and they will be glorious. That I do know Smile

Thanks

It is absolutely stunning. Thanks

Lots of PMs tonight, have replied to all, more woolly squares are on their way, although some seem to be taking the scenic route, they will all arrive!

Thanks
