Blanket for MrsY and her family. Donors, crocheters and knitters, can you help us?

[RatherBeOnThePiste]

We have heard the desperately sad news that MrsY has lost her precious baby son Benedict and have offered to make a blanket for her and her family. She is very touched by everyone's kindness, and would love to receive one. Here is the original thread

So once again we are calling on the Blanketeers for help - whether it be donating, knitting or crocheting. Will you join us?

PM me and let me know how you can help, if you need matching up and I will be able to help you

For pictures from previous blankets, see here www.woollyhugs.com

As in the past, the wool we are using is:

• Debbie Bliss Cashmerino DK (NOT the baby cashmerino)
• or Rowan cashsoft DK

They are very similar and can be combined

• 4mm knitting needles or hooks
• Cast on 33 stitches
• 6" squares

The colours for this project
Blues, warm purples, greens, silver and cream

So sad that another blanket is needed Sending love to MrsY and her family.

PM'd you Jules

Morning everyone
justs off to my PM box..

All sorted

Got my fingers crossed that we hear of more woolly arrivals today.. Off to work this morning, back at lunchtime.

Laters...

2 squares knitted and posted off. They are coming from Australia so will take a few days.

Looking forward to receiving the much travelled squares Tassie! I'll post their safe arrival on here.

Morning, lovely blanketeers

morning all. Hope my wool arrives with my knitter today. The PO said it should be there Saturday but we know they always lie

Bugger!
The company I ordered wool from for my lovely knitter contacted me on Friday to say there would be a delay,so on saturday I trekked to the big city and bought some. I have posted it off this morning

Got home and logged on, checked my emails and the wool I originally ordered has also been posted direct to my knitter this morning as well

If your name starts with K and you live in the east of the uk then you may get 4 balls of wool tomorrow

My wool is here! 3 lovely balls, in green, pink and a lovely neutal beigey brown. Thanks so much to my lovely donor, I shall (hopefully) knit up something lovely for you and our Greengoose and MrsY.

Go, Messy, Go!

JustGettingBy, that kind of thing happens to us all! I'm sure we can do a spot of wool redistribution, so don't worry.

Mos - hi! Waves back how's your ds getting on at uni? Mine has exams next week and is feeling a bit sad that he has so many compared to his flat mates
Large supplies of chocolate and treats have just been posted off in an attempt to cheer him up

Hi JGB, he is getting on well. Thank god exams out the way, he had them last Monday to Thursday but all done now until next year. He has decided to stay at Uni for a few more weeks (he wants to get his moneys worth for the board and lodgings he has paid) then home for a long summer. Good luck to your DS for his exams.

Oops yes sorry for hijack x

Hello woolly chums, just catching up

Yeyy my wool has arrived. Thanks MOS the coulors are fab.

Good news Nessa! Thank you to lovely MOS.

Several woolly packets have arrived today, good news all round

JustGettingBy - that has happened to me before now!

No panicking. Deep breaths, you can do this MOS, you really can.

Hi everyone-
