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.

Such a beautiful and touching contribution has arrived for this Blanket Project.I am almost lost for words.

A box full of woolly treasure has arrived from MrsY herself, her family and friends, such a moving gesture. These will be the heart of your blanket MrsY X
The squares are full of love and strength, and I was quite blown away by that as I unpacked them. And, they are all so beautiful - initials, daisies, stripes, stars, hearts, flowers, bobbles and textures. All just lovely.

Thinking of precious Benedict and sending you and your family love xx

MrsY,

Pistey has sent me some photos of the gorgeous squares that you, your family and friends have made. They really are simply beautiful.
What a talented bunch you all are.

Thinking of you all.x
