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 don't think I'm a stoner

Maybe I am?

Lunchtime - hooray!

BIWI obv meant to say We rock.

... and we do.

Well of course you rock. But you all talk gibberish all the time - it's like listening to stoners talk!

Gibberish? Us?

A slurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr on our character!

I'm a 14-stoner

Knitting one of my squares today and my 2 and a half yr old son comes up to me and says "Pretty mummy, what you doing?"
"I'm knitting squares for some special mummies..."
"Special mummies, oh ok.... I do it too..." picks up a ruler and remnant of wool!
It was so sweet! I am pleased to know he approves too! One more square to go before posting...

Awww Jules... that is so sweet

Jules that's so cute!
Ds likes to play with my scraps but has been known to name squares and play one of his odd games with them. Apparently Peter rabbit and floppy were stuck but mopsy rescued them. this was done with a granny square and some scraps of wool.

I have finished a square - my mojo is returning!
It's just a granny square with a tr border but it looks v square and is exactly 6 inches!

Jules, very cute

And woohoo to the returning mojo

Preen away Whenisit, preen away

Morning everyone

Replied to PMs, off to work as usual, back at lunchtime

Morning

morning!
I can finally start crocheting today!

I have somewhere got about 5 3.4mm hooks, but after turning the shop and the house upside down this weekend, all I could find were 2mm and 5mm hooks!
I decided I would use the 5mm one (thinking it was a 4.5mm - which apparently has also disappeared ), but I finally found a 3.5mm this morning.
the knitting shop won't be happy, though!

So, I've started.

3.5mm not 3.4mm

Some very well travelled squares arrived safely this morning. Coming all the way from Australia, for our truly international woolly hug.
