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.

I love this thread. I have no clue what you're talking about half the time, but I can't stop coming here to read it.

And KisMittz - those Bags of Love are absolutely stunning.

Nor do I with the knitting stuff, BIWI, but it's done in such a friendly way I don't mind!

Wotcha

Lovely to see you here, BIWI

The bags of love are very cute!

Aw, blessed are the Meece makers.

My donkey arrived today Pistey. Fitted through my letterbox a treat. Meece in progress!

(BIWI will have NO idea what that means )

I got my wool, thank you to my donor.

lovely creamy colour.
i will make very stylish squares with that. :)

will start once DD decides she's eaten enough.

Evening all

I [heart] BIWI, I really do, and when I look at my comment about donkeys arriving with peanut and meece makers, and then talk of them fitting through letterboxes, it is possibly not surprising she gets a bit from time to time

And a donkey has arrived, look after him Droitwich, I look forward to seeing your Mouse for MrsY.

More beautiful squares arrived today, I am in awe of how clever people are

ItsJustAFleshWound : Lovely snuggly ribbing and purl, gorgeous.

Lattelady: You may have seen her cute owl and diagonal stripes on her blog, they are gorgeoise.

MoaningMinnieRisesAgain : Such beautiful pink and purple knits, so clever.

Glad they arrived !

Pic of mouse on profile! Pattern shows up better in rl but you get the idea, it is one of the Ravelry patterns trib posted.
Just need to weave all of my ends in then they will be in the post

Waaaaa! I've lost my mojo!
I've spent all week trying to start my squares and it was all going wrong. I have frogged too many times.

I have gone for basic granny squares now. And repeating the plain is good mantra (can't actually remember). Hoping they will help show off the more eye catching ones. :)

Plain is good, Plain is essential...

That's what I was trying to remember!

Stands me in good stead

We heart a simple square

I was half way through my first square when DD3 pulled the needle out of the knitting and it has now gone all wrong and I think I'm going to have to start again :(

Droitwich - you are some super speedy meecemaker! I can't wait to see it in the wool

Whenisitmysleepytime - we definitely heart a simple square, Knots is right. Stands me in good stead too Babs

Thing3 - did you manage to save the square?

Posted this bit on the other thread....Replying to PMs, well trying to, am not sure it is behaving this evening....

Osmiornica - did it go through I wonder? I don't think yours did You probably got it 10 times, or not at all! In case it didn't, I was saying thank you and both parcels you forwarded have arrived safely, many thanks for doing that for us

Pidj too - I think yours was one that didn't go through either, your woolly wool will hopefully arrive with you on Tuesday.
