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.

May I ask a possibly strange question please?
Do you accept squares knitted on the diagonal or do they need to be straight? I ask that for all of the projects where you can send squares instead of the whole thing. Sorry of that's been covered already. 
My thoughts are with Daisy and Survival and their families.

Thanks Knotty. I prefer to do squares on the diagonal. I don't think I'll be able to do one in time for this project, so have donated wool instead. Hopefully the lovely crafter will recieve it soon. 
Well done to all those who have been able to contribute. People pulling together when they're needed. This is why I love Mumsnet.
