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

Morning

Dharma - they look just lovely, send them, sure they will be fine

Thanks :) Wasn't sure if I could even find the tied off end to frog it! I think it'll be practically invisible once the seams are crocheted on to it.

Hi Piste, has my squares arrived yet? Posted them on Saturday, but forget to message you!

Not yet my lovely, didn't have any post at all yesterday [unloved feeling] and it's not here yet today. Fingers crossed, I will be here too in case she has to knock.

But, I had post today and what lovely woolly treasure it is to be sure

goinggoinggoth Lovely pink, purple and green squares, am loving your stripes!

FrankieMyDearIDontGiveADamn Knit and crochet combined, blue and pink, love the embroidered heart.

Thank you both, you are stars X

Finally got to the post box today - only a week or so after I finished!

Should be with you tomorrow or Friday!

Sending two today X

Phew, was beginning to worry. Pleased you liked them, thanks to my doner, who provided such beautiful wool.

Rest assured we will keep all cards safely until the time comes and they travel with the blanket.

Glad they arrived safely, it's a pleasure to contribute to a blanket just sad to have to do it in the first place. Thanks to the donor for the cream wool!

Pistey I got mine in the mail yesterday but just found the note I thought I'd included with them :::eyeroll smiley:::

Just a heads up when you get three 3D flowers, purple /blue/white on a green background, they are from me!

Glad they got there safe - tis a privilege to contribute.

Thanks Dharma - hopefully then they will arrive tomorrow, I am here tomorrow morning, look forward to seeing them in the wool

Thank you Piggy X

I know I said I was sending on Thursday but < hangs head in shame > I didn't but they are in my "doing bag" to do today when I go the library and chemist and...and.... I have really good excuse in that DD had a baby girl tow weeks ago and I have been looking after her and wrangling DGS who is 23 months.

Promise I will post today

Oh, congratulations Bodkin, how lovely X

And no bloomin hanging your head in shame! Last posting is Monday anyway, so you are ahead of yourself

Phew, only just had chance to check the thread, am glad my squares arrived safely (and before deadline for once ).

3Girlies thank you so much for putting up those photos of Flora. What a beautiful girl. You were all very much in my thoughts as I knitted my squares. Xxx

Lovely woolly treasure has arrived! Thank you

MOS Totally gorgeoise, a super snuggly pink garter square, super

Glad they arrived safely

Hey all. Pistey I'm out the country until late on Tues (for some reason thought last posting was Wed!) so will it be okay to make a hand delivery like last time? Otherwise you won't get it till Friday probably - up to you though!

Will try check phone for update later on when near WiFi .

NoWay - hand delivery is more than ok

I'm a bit concerned my squares haven't arrived yet. I posted them either Monday or Tuesday last week (can't quite remember which). I'll be keeping my eyes peeled on this thread and hoping to see they've arrived soon.
