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 think we need to ask MNHQ very nicely for a new smiley. A panic one! Haven't even got my needles, wool or idiots guide yet.

[KnottyLocks]

MOS, you'll have to make do with until then

[RatherBeOnThePiste]

MOS, I find this one is very good

[MOSagain]

any idea how long it normally takes to get things delivered by that place you recommended? (cumberpatch?) Ordered Tuesday

[KnottyLocks]

If the wool is in stock, should be today. Normally they are very quick. Have you had a confirmation via email?

[RatherBeOnThePiste]

With Cucumberpatch - if you order before Midday they will post the same day, so it should well arrive with you today!

[RatherBeOnThePiste]

Off to work this morning, and running late!
Will be back at lunchtime

[MOSagain]

yes, had a confirmation email but don't think it said when it would be delivered, just said if in stock would be processed shortly or something like that.

truly lovely. Wool and needles not arrived yet so went to hobbycraft and bought some needles and wool to practice with. Hope it arrives soon so I can send balls on to my 'professional knitter'.
