It's the final countdown! Welcome to the final stage of the Chernobyl project 2017.

[KnottyAndPistey]

Welcome to the final stage of the Chernobyl project 2017, the thread where we will see our target of 70 blankets achieved and even more, plans are already in place for delivery to the wonderful groups, and we can't wait for the children to have their beautiful blankets!

All crafting information can be found on previous threads, have a look here.... We are just so eternally grateful to everyone for every stitch and every moment of time spent on this project, we were worried we had 'bitten off more than we could chew' when we looked at the challenge of 70 blankets, or equivalent of 5600 six inch squares as Knotty worked out! But the Woolly Hugs crew never fail to amaze, thank you everyone so SO much!

There are 12 more kits out with crafters, and the final sort will be complete by next Thursday.

So nearly there

Morning, K and/or P!

I'm feeling it's nearly time for some more Woolly Retreat dreaming: do we need one of those sensory deprivation tanks? or more a sensory depravity dungeon?

P today

I found my rainbow stripes in blanket 97

MrsH all I want from the woolly retreat is some air conditioning and a nice guy to waft me with a palm leaf...

I didn't realise that there were so many groups around the UK!

Celebrating the start of #VolunteersWeek today with the most enormous THANK YOU to our wonderful Woolly Hugs crew, crafters and donors alike.

Every stitch, every moment, every penny given freely, ordinary people doing extraordinary things, proving one person CAN make a difference. So many children and their families feel love, support, comfort, kindness and compassion through your overwhelming generosity.

Loved and looked after. To you all who make it all possible THANK YOU!! xxx

98 and 99 are lovely.

will there be 100?

There had better be - I posted one on Saturday!

excellent. look forward to that.

still missing a square was dangling off the back of a chair

or the cat is still in possession

For those of you not on Facebook...

Ninety eight....

Ninety nine....

And...

ONE HUNDRED!!!

my square, my square,

I have found all my lovely (saggy, and slightly wonky) squares.

the last one has landed in number 100!!!!!!

(I'm greatly pleased that one of mine is in 100. It's the 12" purple and green stripy one near the middle, which was never going to be easy to match, but this is just a complete riot of colour which I reckon is totally appropriate for the hundredth blanket!)

Just wonderful! I think there are more?

They've posted up 101, unless it was a dream. It could have been a dream. It was likely to have been a dream

It wasn't a dream.....

Up to 103 now!

Checking back in after having to delete MN off my phone as I had no memory. Got new phone today I also posted off a load of squares for Manchester and other projects so feeling happy. DH has been moaning about the amount of crocheting I've been doing, thinking he wanted to spend an evening with his DW I happily told him all squares had gone. He says "Good, now you can do a huge blanket for us".

Loving all these blankets still coming in.

104! 😱

106..... I can't keep up

Morning - did all see the collection that went yesterday to Norfolk?!

Glorious!

This is our Chernobyl blanket collection for the children visiting Norfolk at the Chet and Waveney Link.

Thank you so much EVERYONE!! ❤️❤️❤️ xxxx

Did the one I joined ever arrive? Posted it a couple of weeks ago.

I am going to have to check lovely. I don't think so though. Having said that, Woolly mountain is here so maybe.

Our largest Chernobyl group's collection is away! Thirty one blankets for the FOCC group at Helpston near Peterborough. They arrive on Saturday! Thank you so much everyone again and to lovely SW for helping arrange this massive patchwork!

Happy sigh. xxx
