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

oh and I have just noticed the cat picture is at the top of the thread.. (derrr) never mind sandwich short of a picnic, more a whole picnic short of a picnic I can now scroll up to see my cat's bed square..

Woolly I hope you get that shoulder sorted very soon

Treasures your Sophie's garden square is beautiful!

69 - the party blanket has landed..

Of all the numbers for it to have been! :o

Looking at 69 again I realise I, or one of my squares, is at the party too

Soup
fb post saying its now 86 blankets!!!!!

What fantastic news. For the non facebookers, here's the post.

Yay! Bristol is my neck of the woods, good to know some of the blankets will be given out there before heading off with the children.

Whoop whoop!!!! It's an incredible achievement, well done to all at Woolly HQ for pulling it together and exceeding the target 💐

Absolutely fantastic news.

Loving that the naughty party blanket is number 69

I think I shall have to give up doing my Masters and become a full time crocheter. It's really addictive ..... and there's so much wool out there that needs buying. I've asked DH to donate me some wool . He's gone from you're a bit young for that to ooooh that's nice, can you
make us one.

Ooh what's your Masters in Okki? DD1 just has her dissertation to write for hers.

Woolly it's Social History - British and Irish from 1750 - 1950, but my interest period is more long 19th century. But it's all interesting really hence I still have no idea what to do my dissertation on. Need to decide in next 3 months or so.

What's your DD doing?

Ah that would be considered 'too modern' for DD. She's doing Ancient History and spent 3 months geeking out studying in Rome.

Aah, if my memory serves me correctly, you've not long been to Rome have you where she showed you around? I am amazed by Ancient History but I can't "feel" it the way I can more recent history. Blame it on Georgette Heyer

71

72 - I can see two of mine

71 is just stunning. that knitted tree is amazing.

Its lovely to see them
BlackeyedSusan - I knitted those trees as a 6" for a Woolly Hug - its called Twining Trees on ravelry - and its fiddly, but so lovely!

Epic.❤️ Our Chernobyl project so far! Thanks to your love and support we've shot through our original target!

Yes Bristol!

There are at least 16 blankets to come back. The two Knots and I are making haven't been accounted for yet either. So wonderful! Thank you so much!

Have heard that glorious tree knit called the Tree of Valium

It's an incredible amazing wonderful achievement, so many beautiful blankets and it's lovely that another group will benefit too
