Support thread for 3girlies' blanket

[tribpot]

Following on from our previous support thread please check in here if there's any help, particularly (but not exclusively) knitting help, you need for the squares for 3girlies, who sadly lost her beloved 6-year-old dd Flora recently.

The details of the blanket project are here and it directs you to the Crafting Guide on Woolly Hugs, with specific sections for crocheters and knitters. I am still maintaining the original document mostly because I haven't got around to separating out the stuff that's already on Woolly Hugs now from the newer suggestions we've had in the last few weeks. So please, by all means do send me suggestions for new patterns or ideas.

For those of you on Ravelry and participating in the Ravellenic games, I think squares could be entered under a number of categories such as balance beads, doubleknit boxing, lace longjump among possibly some others.

I'd do double treble corners then double treble, half double treble (yo twice, through, yo, back, yo through two, yo through rest), treble, half treble, four dc, two sl st, 4dc, htr, tr, hdtr, dtr, corner.

:)

Thank you :) will try tomorrow and report back

Have finally managed to suss how to do a "twist left" or a "twist right" without having to resort to using a cable needle for the single stitch. :):)

In doing so, I have now practiced the third and last pattern for the Afghan rug project that I am going to embark upon, in memory of my mum :). The three patterns can be seen here

I ran out of wool just before the end, so the last 2 rows (and three stitches) are in a slightly different blue. Hopefully, by the time it's been hooked together, it won't be too obvious

The squares are now finally in the post (first class) so should be winging their way to Pistey.

Luffly, prettybird

Ok Trib, thanks. I feel slightly better now. But I think I'll frog it and to that bubble pattern you linked to instead.

I would, Glaikit. I can't see how that pattern can result in a picture like the one shown in the book. Maybe if you only go back and forth twice instead of three times ... but in any case, i think Frankie Brown's pattern will work better as it doesn't seem to involve the creation of any holes!

Tribpot I've emailed you

Glaikit, I think I've got that book (knitting & crochet bible?) Not tried that pattern (& don't think I will now!) but I'm doing one of the diamondy ones - some lovely cable patterns in there too.

It's the stitch library lentil, but I think they are one and the same.

Yip, the Claire Compton one. I have the Stitch Library too. I've checked her website to see if there's an erratum for this pattern but there's nothing there, so I do wonder how on earth it's meant to come out like the picture!

Thanks Pidj have managed it your instructions were great! Don't know how you managed to work it out but very greatful to you

Two decades of experience, Jules when you've been doing something that long it gets easy - think talking, walking, cooking, swimming...

You do know we Need pics, don't you?!

Done my squares, yay me! Now the other day I am sure I found something where you can make little hearts.......but I can't find it now! Is there a link somewhere someone can point me in the right direction?

They are just little things to sew on afterwards

Ooo they do look good! Thanks! I should have thought of her! I will one day do a ripple blanket!

Will have a go at them either tonight or another day, need to meet my daughter at the dentist this afternoon!

I did the knitted heart off this valentine bunting when I wanted one to sew on (ahem, over a glaring mistake).

Afternoon

Lovely woolly treasure arriving this morning, tis all just lovely

What is the last posting date for this one Pistey?

Tis Monday 3rd September PKK, which feels aaaaaaages away, but I am sure will come round quickly enough. That's last posting btw.

OK, I will see if I can make a few hearts out of what I have left over and then get it posted

Thanks my lovely X

hmm - that's strange. I was sure that I'd done a post. Going mad! Just wanted to know if the address for posting is the same as for Expat's blanket? I still have that in my inbox
