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

I've PM'd you Pistey, what incredibly sad news

[LackaDAISYcal]

Signing in :(

Flora sounds like she was such a unique little person. Thoughts are with 3girlies and family xx

[Eskarina]

Signing in. How heartbreaking. If only knitting could really make things better, but I hope that a blanket will bring even a small comfort to a family with such a tragic loss.
Pm-ing you now pistey x

Very sad that we need another blanket, but i am willing to knit again.

[fanjodisfunction]

I have spent most of the day watching the Olympics while crocheting, and I have finished my squares. The pictures are on my profile. Im going to be pretty busy this week so thought I would get them done today. I had some wool already left over from other projects. I hope they are ok, one is plain pink and the other is cream and light purple with a off centre flower.

[PurplePidjmicGymnastics]

I'm home from my trip, and here for whatever's needed Pistey
