Support thread for Woolly Hugs - summer (sort of) 2013

[tribpot]

Our sympathies and thoughts are with daisydotandgertie, who lost her husband this month.

Woolly Hugs is now in action and this is the support and chat thread at which all are welcome - knitters, crocheters and donors. If you are a first time crafter please do have a go. There is bags of support and plain squares are just as important to our endeavour as fancy ones.

As flowers was one of the requested motifs, I'll just note there's a flowers section in the crafting guide. I might try the posies pattern on this sock pattern. For Welsh (or at least Celtic) patterns, I did this for a previous blanket.

Oh welcome indeed Macdog, very glad to have you on board.

Thanks

Found a local wool shop selling Debbie Bliss cashmerino and Rialto wools, so well underway now.

Have you ever thought about knitting macdog? :o

hat better not be a crochet hook?

I was wondering if someone could look the square on my profile and tell me if it's ok for Survival's blanket please?

I've done two and the flowers are forget-me-nots.

That is beautiful TheOne :o

Thank you. I'm glad it's ok. :)

That looks lovely, TheOne.

I undo my knitting like that all the time! I just call it unpicking and never knew it had an actual, proper name

Your square is just gorgeous TheOne

I am tied in knots with a cardigan I'm trying to finish, so have been neglecting squares this last week. Back on with it this week though

It's backwards knitting Daisy, tink knit geddit??

The forget-me-nots are lovely, and so apt.

Glaikit I never knew that . I just thought it was a nice little word .

I will be ing for the rest of the day whenever I think about this

Last posting dates!

Saturday 26th May - Last posting for squares for Daisy, plus next batches of Little Hugs and Angel Hugs. Just lining up a delivery of Little Hugs for mid week next week, then will call the Brompton.

Monday 10th June - Last posting for squares for Team Survival and Trinity.

We needed longer for TS as we've had folk joining us as recently as yesterday.

Huge thanks to all

Can someone point me in the right direction to get the details for Trinity's blanket please? I thought I could do a couple for hers and send them all together. Is that ok?

Here you are Details for Trinity, thank you, and yes, more than OK, bless you, that will be marvellous.

Thanks. :)

Checking back in

I'm in on the 26th batch :)

I hope.
If DD will let me have half an hour to crochet!

Ugh. Rotten cold. Filthy, stinking, rotten cold.

I'm in work. And I want to be at home, in my bed, undisturbed, crocheting. Or on the couch.

Blue squares done. Starting on the apple green wool tonight.

I promise to not sneeze or cough on it and to disinfect it if I do.

I wasn't ignoring you I promise. :) Hope you feel better soon. How are things in Canada? Seems a long time since the Plurkers.

I've been too busy to feel ignored good thing I'm not sensitive or anything :o

Whatever has happened to the Plurkers? Is that still going? I've hardly been posting except for the Woolly threads - they're safe and friendly and everyone's nice. Not so much in the remainder of MN these days...

It fizzled out. I guess that's the problem with lurkers though. We read more than we posted.

poor you jacks. I'm just getting over the most awful cold. It really is rubbish.

And you are right it is safe and friendly here, without here and my AN thread I think I may have run away a while ago :)

Poorly Jacks, cold snasty.

Hope you feel better soon.

Agree, tis very rarely I venture far from woolly threads. Mind you, there's sod all time to do that at the mo anyhow!
