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

Sadly Okki I believe QC would strongly object to the wearing of socks It would be like the santa hat incident all over again.

Oh I really want to see QC in socks you may not have any skin left on your hands but thems the breaks

I'm still ogee-ing along. Just about to finish - at which point I will be DROWNING in peskies. At a rough calculation there will be 450+ I'll post a picture when I'm done.

Ogees

I'm hoping the pesky fairies will visit overnight

!

It looks great, Woolly.

Wow, just oh wow Woolly. That is amazing!

Really lovely - it makes a nice change from squares doesn't it? A really different look.

Just beautiful Woolly - sumptuous :)

Oh wow Woolly, that's lekker.

Oh Okki that takes me back! I used to work for an Anglo-Dutch firm. It was praise indeed if your work was lekker.

That's gorgeous Woolly

Gorgeous Woolly

When I get around to my Ogees blanket a long time from now I'm going to do the Peskies as I go. Please keep reminding me! 😖😂

Number 80 is up on Facebook 😁

Here you go - number 80!

No 81. One of my squares is in it too.

And no 82. I love all the colours

Our first Chernobyl blankets are off!

Thanks to everyone's love and generosity we can extend our Portsmouth collection to include the 6 children visiting the Isle of Wight this year. All girls aged 11-13 and they arrive tomorrow! When we took this pic we could see the Isle of Wight in the background 😃

Huge thanks everyone!! C2017 is turning out to be extraordinary and that is because of YOU!! xxxx

I may have a lump in my throat. Beautiful blankets.

oh, that has made me all teary - lovely, lovely picture ( and blankets!)

Wow! I hope they have a wonderful time.

I may have something in my eye! That's a wonderful sight

Hope the girls have a lovely visit! Next year I think we should make blankets for ALL the children who come over. Umm, how many would that be? I want to give them all a cuddle.

Woolly that ogee blanket is wonderful! I love the colours you've used. How are you going with those peskies?

Number 83!

Pink and yellow bobbly loveliness

Number 84.

Does anyone know what the word says down the middle?

Looking at the photo on Facebook, it looks like SUPAUK. But I have no idea what that refers to!

It's the initials of the folk who made it. Came from a group of friends
