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 found one lady on youtube who talked so s-l-o-w-l--y I thought she's gone to sleep at one point. Actually, having said that, she was perfect for me

I have a picture of Pistey having an afternoon snooze over her wool. She is gorgeous

Have PMd Pistey. Would like to contribute a square

All PMs replied to, many thanks everyone for such amazing support
Off to work now, back at lunchtime and I will catch up then, so please....

I'm off to work too. Will check in when I can. Thanks for everyone's support

That's almost like Strictly isn't it....

Keep PMing

Best be off. Laters....

Pistey, .

While I wish these blankets weren't needed, I know they are very much appreciated, so will gladly donate wool for an able knitter. Will send a PM to Pistey...

I've PMed Pistey and have the address to send my squares to.

Hello Lunchtime

Just going to pop into my PM box. I may be a while!!

I've posted on the other thread already but am knitting for both blankets so wanted to acknowledge Mrs Y's loss here too.

Both stories have really touched my heart and I am proud to be even a small part of something that might bring a bit of comfort at such a sad time.

Have replied to all PMs, many thanks everyone, it's going really well X

Have ordered wool for my lovely knitter - coming from cucumber patch - they are normally very quick so should arrive tomorrow/Friday

Thank you

Back from work and it's lovely to see more woolly offers. Thank you all so much

Have ordered 2 balls for my knitter, should be here soon :)

Talking to DD this afternoon and she happened to mention that two of her friends at her boarding school are going to teach her to knit so I suggested maybe she try a square or too. Will let them have some of my wool when it arrives and we can help each other

Team MOS will be fabulous!

My daughter did parts of a square for Wubbly's family, not much, but she wanted to try and contribute, it was really nice.

Thanks hoops

a reminder...

The colours for this project

Have already pm'd Pistey but have sent a ball of wool to my knitter today via ebay so hopefully they should get it soon.
