Many of you have followed Niffler’s posts and have been very supportive as first her DH’s cancer was diagnosed as terminal back in October through to the devastating news of his death. Absolutely horrendous and so desperately sad, we are sorry that life has been so cruel, we send so much love to Niffler, we are thinking of her and her wonderful DH. Her most recent thread is here…
We are so glad that Niffler has accepted our offer of a Woolly Hug, there will be love in every stitch for her for sure, so we shall need crocheters, knitters and donors. If you would like to donate wool or funds, we shall need both and we can match you up. If you would like to join in but need donated wool, we can help there too.We have part balls if any hookers need yarn, please say. Please PM us with your offers of help THANK YOU SO MUCH.
Lovely Niffler has given us many ideas for this Woolly Hug, it really will be a tribute to her DH.
He adored our dog (black and white Shih Tzu), his favourite colour was red and it was our colour scheme at our wedding.
He was a big Manchester United fan.
He worked in a toy shop and was very well respected.
He enjoyed gaming (Xbox mainly), watching tv shows (like supernatural, Grimm, Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, Doctor Who)
He loved reading and read Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter a lot.
He loved history and went to see a Roman event a few months before he died. He loved the stars and could spend hours just looking at the night sky.
Lots of beautiful ideas for squares, but please don’t feel daunted, simple squares are needed too.
