Woolly Hugs. We are making a blanket for endofthelinefinally whose son has very sadly died.

[KnottyAndPistey]

You may have heard the dreadfully sad news that endofthelinefinally’s beautiful son has suddenly died. She describes him as kind, clever, good looking and talented, but troubled. Bless his heart. Life has been very cruel to him and them all. We send endofthelinefinally and her family our love and are so sorry.

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 and memories crafted into every stitch. We hope it will be a real tribute to her wonderful son. Endoftheline’s thread is here if you would like to add a message.

Endoftheline says..
My darling boy had a favourite island. His funeral flowers were bright and colourful sunflowers and blue shades to represent the sun and the sea.
They used orchids and palm leaves for a tropical feel. He loved the sun and the sea.
He was known to his friends as "superman" and they made cupcakes and superman badges for the wake.
He was a brilliant IT and finance expert.
I saved the beautiful butterflies from his flowers to put next to his photograph.
Hope this gives you some ideas.
Thank you so much

Morning everyone

Going to the post office later. I had hoped I would have something else to post as well as these squares but not this time.

This is going to be a really special blanket, by the looks/sounds of things. I hope it brings EndOf and the clan some comfort.

On it's way

And I got home to find a parcel from WH on my doorstep

I've got five knitted squares ready to post. I'm just finishing off a hat for the refugee project so that I put them all in one parcel and send on Thursday.

Posting mine tonight; they are what you might call "rustic", but hope you can make use of them.

My squares are on the way to you.

I have one square done and hope to finish another at the weekend...can I post them on Monday please

I am posting a square tomorrow: sorry it's not more.

I also have only one square done, but would like to do more. Please can I post on Monday too?

Afternoon, woolly treasure is here, just needs to be sorted and cooooooed over, today is fine, no worries, thanks everyone, back later xxxx
