Support thread 3 - further blanketeering

[tribpot]

Oh no! The previous thread has become full and suddenly we need a new one, with no way of linking old to new. I hope people will find this one. :)

This is a continuation of our thread supporting MNers creating blanket squares for Woolly Hugs. All are welcome.

Ophelia, you're on - I've put you above the line where 'here be dragons' as otherwise it's only DAISY and me representing the North of England, with Formerly technically on the right latitude but in another country If you live just south of the line, I'm moving the line down!

I'm surprised to hear Chester is short on wool shops, I would have thought it'd have a few naice places.

I'm off today to my 'knitting with colour' workshop so I am insanely excited to learn how I've been doing it wrong all this time.

Morning all!

Hi there, how can I help? I'm not the best knitter but I like to try. I'm in Scotland x

Welcome to the support thread for the Mumsnet Woolly Hugs blanket projects, Books. Feel free to lurk, advise our wonderful team of beginners, or if you can spare the time we'd be delighted if you joined us :)

We talk a lot of crap and post lots of patterns for 6" squares, basically

Morning. I'm new (but old iyswim). And just dusted off my needles. My slightly wonky and rather basic squares are at your disposal.

How big? 6in? Colours? Wool?

Oh and i'm south west

Details here for those interested in the backstory :)

Poem on the occasion of a new blanket support thread ...

Rosie bounds out of her bed
Eager to have all the woolly news read
Oh no! Oh where is the blanket thread?

After a rather wretched week
And feeling rather tired and weak ...
She wonders if they're hiding - curse!
Are they hiding from her verse?

Lo! They're not. A thread anew ...
Has appeared overnight. Thanks Trib. Phew!

Morning! Booksandchoc good to see another scot on the thread!

Poorly baby here, so I can't see much knitting being done here. My boats square is done, but i don't think I have enough green wool left for another so I'll pop it in with my parcel.

Morning,

I'm crocheting away merrily oop north, right next to a very big bridge.
Do you think team hooker will let me in?

Course we will, Maud!

Lovely pome, Rosie

What a lovely rainy day,
I can knit some squares - hooray!

Grrr, my son is whinging on
Will I ever get them done?

Never mind, I have a plan
I can do them, yes I can!

I will turn the TV on
Justin Fletcher, you're the one.

Entertain my little child,
Keep him quiet for a while.

Cup of tea, it helps I know,
Needles, wool, and here we go!

I object to the "Here be Dragons" line...

can I join please? I was a virgin knitter on the last projects and am going to attempt another non-wonky square for this one. Think I'll stick with plain for now, don't want to over stretch/confuse myself.

TodaysAGoodDay!

:)

Here Be Dragons is not the same as Here Be Dragon Dragon ...

:o Todaysa

Soupy, i thought you'd be glad to have company?

MOS i shall crochet up a little boat specially :)
