Pidj, Grin.

Chipping when can you do?

Had a disaster with one of the squares, I droped the needle and all the stiches came off. Twas 5 and a half inches as well Sad Of to DMs to sort it out as when I tried to pick them back up it went funny. Blush

There appears to be a technical hitch with the PM system today

It has been reported to MNHQ.

If there is a red dot to show you have a message, you may have to read it via your email link as a few of us have noticed that when we open our Inbox via MN, the message isn't displayed.

Bluebell, I'll PM you shortly.

I hope Grin

Upsydaisy,

if you go into your Inbox, click on the 'Settings' next to 'New Message' button.

You should be able to click on the email notification bit.

if you go into your Inbox area and click on Settings (next to the 'New Message' button) you can switch on your email notifications, if you haven't done so already

Can someone PM me so I can see if there's been any improvement, please?

Morning all! Just marking my place on the new thread, and to let you know I've just posted:

6 squares for use in whatever blanket you prefer, Wubbly's, MrsK's or keeping for future use
1 Captain Barnacles for Wubbly's blanket - attached to a square by a natty scarf
Leftover wool (but not much of it)
A small chocolately treat for the amazing Knotty to keep you going while hooking together

It only took me 3 trips to the post office altogether, good job it's only 2 minutes down the road!

nickelhasababy · 13/03/2012 12:28

right, i've tied in all my ends.
Sorry if it makes it a mess - the edges are a big rubbish on some on them.

I've done 4 - two for each blanket.

I can't send them off today because I've already sent DH to the post office, but I'll send them tomorrow.

KnottyLocks · 13/03/2012 13:30

Nickel, that's fine. The edges will be covered anyway.

Lunchtime! Glad the PM problem has been resolved. Hmm

there's quite a bit of wool left - do you want me to:
a) make another square (not sure if there's enough)
b) save for another time ? :(
c) send it in with my squares?
it's mostly teal but a bit of cream too.

KnottyLocks · 13/03/2012 15:26

Nickel, if you could send it with your squares that would be great. Smile

I can use it for embellishments, etc. Thanks.
