Support thread 2 - new blankets

[tribpot]

This is a continuation of our thread supporting MNers creating blanket squares for Woolly Hugs. All are welcome and I'm hoping to post a link soon to a collection of our fave patterns, pics and links to keep them all in one place. In the meantime, this new thread will allow phone-based MNers like RedRosie to return from Special Phone Exile where she goes whenever the thread has too many messages on.

This is a thread of peace where knitters and crocheters, donors and crafters are all equally welcome.

I don't do quiches...

I was given a book today by a friend "200 knitted blocks for blankets, throws and afghans" - so watch out knotty - I'm all over it next time! I'm eyeing up the snowflake lace one...

[KnottyLocks]

Soupy, youm naughty

Go, Podd! I am on tenterhooks.

[tribpot]

Btw Dave the Donkey has arrived at my house. Love that colour!

[RatherBeOnThePiste]

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaave!

He gets about, he was with Knots earlier

[KnottyLocks]

Duplicitous Dave. Must have words.

[RatherBeOnThePiste]

Do. There is not much worse than a duplicitous donkey called Dave.

[prettybird]

I want some donkey [pout]!!

[RatherBeOnThePiste]

By the way Dave is going, if you wait long enough, he'll be with you Pretty.

[Umami]

I have no Dave, no quiche, no cats and no squares to make.



What's a hooker to do?

[PurplePidjin]

is what I got for googling duplicitous save donkey

[tribpot]

So Dave the Donkey is 'Call Me' Dave the Prime Minister? That's a bit unexpected. When they said he went out riding with Rebekah Brooks I had a very different picture in mind.

[KnottyLocks]

[KnottyLocks]

Our Dave is not that Dave, oh no.

[KnottyLocks]

That Dave is no donkey Dave more an ass

[RatherBeOnThePiste]

I'm not having my Dave likened to that Dave.

Oh No.

Knots You were very polite to strikethrough the more of an ass bit, I'd totally have lieft that, or possibly bolded it...

I need something to knit for now my squares are finished, else I will lose my momentum.

[tribpot]

I think Knotty was maintaining what appeared to be a politically neutral stance, as befits one of our leaders, podd

Now, what kind of thing do you fancy doing next? Baby clothes or a baby blanket are popular choices (admittedly if there is a handy baby around to knit for - my friends/colleagues have produced 6 so far this year) or you can prepare for winter (ironic given the weather change) and crack on with some amazing hats and scarves. Or a cushion cover, or another popular bag choice - windmill.

[PurplePidjin]

Baby stuff is fab, do tiny sizes and get in touch with your local SCBU or a charity like Lisa's Stars :)

Morning Woollies
