Woolly Hugs...We are making a blanket for MamaTeeTee and her children : Lovely donors and crafters, we need your help.

[KnottyAndPistey]

You may have heard the dreadfully sad news that MamaTeeTee’s husband died suddenly at the end of December. Mental ill health can be such a devastating illness. Bless his heart. Life has been very cruel to them. We send MamaTeeTee and their little children our love and are so sorry for their loss.

We are so glad that she has accepted our offer of a Woolly Hug, we hope it may give whatever comfort it can. There will be love crafted into every stitch. MamaTeeTee’s thread is here...

So we are now asking for help once again

We need crocheters, knitters and donors (of funds or wool) Sincere thanks. If you would like to be involved in any way, please post on this thread and PM us with your offers: crafting, donating, need wool, etc, we can help you with all of it.

Thank you so much

  From MamaTeeTee
  His favourite things were family time, food and the gym. Our initials are M, C, L, Z. He was a builder and loved his work. He was so talented. He loved music - he would listen to anything. He was born in the wrong era as he loved 50s and 60s music.
  
  I'm overwhelmed by your kindness. It's such a lovely thing for you all to do for us. X
  
  
  Bless her heart, we will make something very beautiful for them as a tribute to her fabulous DH.

Hello, I missed this thread before. I have some drops in the right colours so I will crochet a square. I'll go and have a look for a nice new pattern

[FiveGoMadInDorset]

Hi all - we're just popping this over to Woolly Hugs.

[KnottyAndPistey]

Thank you Becca, much appreciated

[KnottyAndPistey]

[BlueEyeshadow]

Oh good, glad they arrived.

[Sanchar]

Just wondering when the deadline is for squares? Had ill family again and have only managed one square so far.

[KnottyAndPistey]

hope all are recovering Sanchar ?

No huge rush, we've not actually set a date yet, but think another 3 weeks or so

[MadisonAvenue]

I've not checked in for a few days but thanks for the lovely yarn which arrived at the weekend. I've had a cold so didn't start knitting again until yesterday. Have to say, this is the first time I've knitted anything other than garter or stocking stitch and it's a bit addictive this knitting isn't it!

I have a few ends of yarn left so I'm hoping there's enough to make another square.

Mama I've been thinking of you while I've been knitting - each square comes with love.

[Sanchar]

All recovered now, thank goodness.

Second square done now, reckon I can get 2 more with the wool I have left.

We lost bil to suicide two years ago so have been thinking of both him and mamateetee's husband while knitting.

[KnottyAndPistey]

As we say Madison andSanchar, it really is the love and thought that counts


Thank you so much xxxx


Addictive? Yayy, we got you :) xx

[WhyCantIuseTheNameIWant]

Hi. Hope mama and her dcs are coping ok.

I have made 2 squares for their hug.

I have made 2 extra ones, blue and purple stripes, to finish off the last of the drops I have. If they are ok for mama, please use them. If not, please use them wherever you think is best.
