Woolly Hugs: A Blanket for TrinityRhino.

[KnottyLocks]

We have heard the shocking and devastating news that TrinityRhino's DP died suddenly this weekend. Very sadly, many of us will also know that Trinity tragically lost her DH four years ago. Trinity's thread is here
She and her girls are in our thoughts and we send them much love.

We've offered to make them a blanket in the hope it may give whatever comfort it can.

So we are now asking for help once again

Pistey (RatherBeOnThePiste) will co-ordinate and I'll be here to answer any queries you may have. We need crocheters, knitters and donors (of funds or wool).
If you would like to be involved in any way, please post on this thread and PM Pistey with your offers: crafting, donating, need wool, etc.

Thank you so much

The wool we are using

• James C. Brett Pure Merino DK
  
• Debbie Bliss Cashmerino DK (being discontinued, but still some around)
  
• Rowan Cashsoft DK
  
• Sublime Extra Fine Merino Wool DK
  
• Artesano Superwash Merino DK
  
• Debbie Bliss Rialto DK (new to us)

Thank you

Plus 2 parcels have gone to the sorting office, got the red card of doom. I had to go and do jobs down the High Street this morning and lovely posty came early for a change. Sorry. I'm away this week coming but DH will be here, he will go and retrieve them. Am back for one day next weekend then off again, so if anyone has anything to post, maybe best now to wait until after Aug 19th. Please don't worry about squares being late, tis all fine
