You find us busily setting up a new home for our wonderful project. Will be making a special cosy corner for Soupy's poor blind cat - recently blinded by fiesta and her very bright blanket kit Gin

As has been since the first year, this has been an astonishing team effort, folk never fail to amaze. THANK YOU! x

Our first project thread is here.... That was the one where we frantically made SQUARES and some folk made whole blankets, there was a lot of gin and the word characterful was used a lot Grin

On the last thread we reached the dizzying heights of 64/100 absolutely gorgeous finished blankets, so here's hoping this thread sees us through to target...

Ooooo, and this will be the thread where we share the Early Bird 2019 info if anyone has been inspired or just wants to get ahead! Thanks

The photo is from last year, tis the wonderful group who came to Portsmouth.

Cracking on then Grin

Just seen Soupy's blanket on Facebook - no warning beforehand there

Tis beautiful ... and very very cheerful

Madison - the colours and pattern together are lovely!
Biscuits Grin
The blanket is just gorgeous Soup
I am plodding on with squares for a Snugs blanket, but allotment is full on atm so the crochet is going a bit slowly ....... :)

SoupDragon · 23/05/2018 22:48

I can take no real credit for the blanket - I just did the blind donkey work.

Nice to see it’s not just my camera that can’t handle the pink!

bookbook · 23/05/2018 22:56

you can take credit Soup - a lovely eye for what goes where for a start!

Well I think Soup's is the best so far. And not just because it has two of my squares in it. Although in my defence, they're the most subtle squares in the blanket. But that's bit saying much...

diamantegal · 24/05/2018 00:10

not saying much

SoupDragon · 24/05/2018 07:04

Well I think Soup's is the best so far

You have to say that or the blanket will come round and beat you up in a tequila fuelled rage.

Or I’ll post you some Fiesta...

My favourites are the more subtle vintagey looking ones 😂

SoupDragon · 24/05/2018 07:08

I should have said that I don’t expect the more (ahem) vibrant of the two squares I sent in to be used anywhere. 😂😂

KnottyAndPistey · 24/05/2018 09:48

Saw the other one first, thought that was Revenge Square and that you'd gone SOFT.

Then I found it

Catching up with beautiful blankets, and Soupy's will be THERE.

Protective eye wear on and stand by...

Did everyone see this from last year? One of the lads who visited Bristol, pretty sure that blanket was made on Malta by a crafter who is over there. Andy blamed mosquitos for the blurriness!
