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)
Just from these please as they are very similar and we know they can be combined for wash and wear. These are all easily available online, try Deramores, Laughing Hens, RKMWools, AWoollyTail, WiseBadger.
The Colours
Warm purples, blues, silvers and cream
If choosing cream please go for either the Debbie Bliss Cashmerino DK 013 or the James Brett no 7
Green and pink but only for embellishments
Suggestions for motifs
*Fishing, fish and the sea
*Themes from nature, flowers
*A submarine, a gecko
*A teddy bear, a crocodile (for Trin's teddy bear in a crocodile suit)
*We have their initials if you would like to help with this, please PM Pistey.
Squares to be six inches, using 4mm needles or hook.
Simple or complex, made by beginner or expert, we genuinely welcome them all. It really is the love and thought that counts.
