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.

Count me in - have PM'd

I saw MNWooleyHugs on Facebook and that's how I have gotten involved! Just hope I can help.

So glad the Facebook page is bringing people together, just as we hoped, marvellous.

I am away to work this morning, back at lunchtime.

Hoping to have news of more woolly wool arriving with crafters today.

Signing in so I can easily find the thread for updates.

A lovely Debbie bliss cream.

Thank you very much to my donor - initials JD- who used an eBay store called Carly's crafts. I will do my best! :)

Count me in! I still have some wool left from before so will get cracking!

Have 2 balls to go to my 'pro' knitter which I'm going to go and post now, hopefully if PO are behaving themselves it will arrive with my knitter tomorrow, Monday at the latest, sorry its taken a bit longer than I hoped Just waiting for my idiots guide to arrive from Amazon and I'll be underway.

Crafters are GOOOOOOOOOO!

Not too late at all my lovely, hang on a mo...

Thankyou to my donors - I just received 2 wool packages - 3 balls from one of you and another ball from a RL MN friend - fabulous stuff. That's my weekend sorted.

That will keep you out of mischief Minnie

I have replied (I hope) to all PMs, but with this creaking old system, one can never be sure

Lots of woolly wool has arrived today, well done the donors! Will do a full thank you later when more are home from work.
Release the crafters!

My wool has arrived, from a donor with the initials LS who ordered from cucmberpatch.
