Many thanks to all involved with this blanket. We hope that it may bring comfort to Chipmonkey and her family.

It's simply gorgeous.

RatherBeOnThePiste · 01/04/2012 21:16

Everyone has done amazingly well, the squares are absolutely beautiful, people are so clever! Thank you to all the lovely donors too. And a very big thank you to our Knotty for the tremendous amount of dedication and hard work she has put in to this, working out how the eclectic mix of squares and gorgeous colours fit best together and then in hooking it into this final glorious blanket

We are sending a very big woolly hug to Chipmonkey with a lot of love X

That is just completely beautiful, as all the blankets are. Really, it is truly lovely and I am sure Chipmonkey and family will treasure it forever.

There are some absolutely stunning squares on the blanket: very gifted people.

The lovely folks who donated wool have also made this possible and are a vital part of the blankets. So a huge thanks to them , as well as to the crafters who did wonders with their wool.

Beautiful, thanks for sharing the photos. The whole blanket is so much more than the sum of the parts.

RatherBeOnThePiste · 01/04/2012 23:29

Awww....... so sorry Chip, it had to be me to be the first one you meet Grin

RatherBeOnThePiste · 02/04/2012 00:09

Thank your for the PM. I made my squares under my old user name.

The blanket is amazing. A huge thank you got those who organised and coordinated it. You have done something incredible.

I can't get over the variety and quality of the squares.

Well done everyone

LadyWellian · 02/04/2012 01:35

Well done Knotty and Pistey as ever, and sending Chipmonkey a bit of extra love too.

NeitherShreddedNorSmug · 02/04/2012 02:36

Really lovely, well done to everyone involved.

Thumbwitch · 02/04/2012 06:12

Thank you for the PM, Knotty (and you Pistey for the link via the other thread too)
It is a thing of joy and beauty forever and I'm glad chipmonkey likes it - hope she likes it even more in RL when she gets hold of it.

Much though the need for these blankets upsets me, I'm very proud to be a part of them and Thanks to DickSwiveller'sTidyWife this time for her work in crafting my wool into beautiful squares, as well as to Knotty of course for putting it all together Thanks
