A Blanket for 3girlies: Sign up thread for donors and crafters. Can you help us?

[RatherBeOnThePiste]

We have heard the desperately sad news that 3girlies daughter Flora has lost her battle against a brain tumour, she was 6 years old. 3girlies' thread is here

We send 3girlies our love and are so sorry for her loss. She and her family are in our hearts and thoughts X

We have offered to make the family a blanket, and hope it may give whatever comfort it can to them. We are so pleased that they have accepted.

So we are calling out for knitters, crocheters and donors. Can you help us?

If you would like to be involved in any way, please post on this thread, and also PM me so we know. I will coordinate and match crafters and donors, and deal with any admin. We now have Paypal to make donating easier for all. So please PM if you would like to join us, or if I can help match you. Knotty will try to answer any queries you may have. Sincere heartfelt thanks.

Once again the wool we are using is:

• Debbie Bliss Cashmerino DK (NOT the baby cash)
  
• Rowan Cashsoft DK
  
• Sublime Extra Fine Merino Wool DK
  
• Artesano Superwash Merino DK
  
  The Colours
  Pinks, warm purple, greens, blues, silver, cream
  If choosing cream we ask that you go for the Debbie Bliss Cashmerino DK 013
  
  Themes
  Flowers please, also initials F, P and L.
  
  4mm needles or hook.
  
  Do use the crafting guide on the website to help you with lots of practical info, and if interested there are a lot of linked suggestions for squares.
  
  Previous blankets can be seen on the Woolly Hugs website and we are on Facebook and Twitter at MNWoollyHugs which are good ways to keep in touch.
  
  But once again, we thank you so much for your support X

Cool - well I'll ask Trib and go from there

[tribpot]

bobkate, stripes of some kind are nice and simple - whatever you do, don't let Minnie persuade you to try and do two-colour brioche just because she likes the look of it

I'll start the new thread and then go through it there.

[PiggyPlumPie]

Count me in again

[tribpot]

New support thread now available

[Primrose123]

So sad. I will pm Pistey.

[Trickle]

I've not knit squares before but I'd like to help too

So sorry 3girlies

[tribpot]

Trickle, all are very welcome.

[LollipopViolet]

So sad another blanket is needed :(

Pistey, I am happy to donate again. Also happy to donate a design again if you feel that worked quite well?

Colours for this blanket :

Pinks, warm purple (e.g. Rowan cashsoft 532 vamp) greens, blues, silver (e.g. Rowan cashsoft 505 Mist/534 Blink) and cream. If choosing cream could we ask that you go for Debbie Bliss Cashmerino DK 0013

The yarn identified for purple and silver is only to give an idea of colour, this just came up in PMs this afternoon, so thought it might be useful.

Lollipop - will PM you, many thanks everyone
