THANK YOU SO SO MUCH!! xxxxx

St Ives last year

That bloomin DRONE!

Thought this would be easy. No!

This was the Northampton group’s collection!

I'm in. Posting what I have tomorrow and sending a PM now.

I'm in too.

Going to try finish off current project tonight then check my stash for colours tomorrow while Bear Cub is having her nap.

Yay friends!

Yay. Hello. We've got 2 on the go. I'm making one with my Mum (she's about half way through, so think my contribution will be minimal ) and then one on my own.

I'm on repeat five (of six), then border and peskies and it'll be on its way.

Aiming to finish my snug still but will then be happy to get stuck in with squares.

I'm lurking but moving, so may not be able to help much

Wonderful!

So two new areas Glossop (shared with Gloucester) and Shropshire. Anyone near them?!

I’m about a week away from finishing. Or perhaps 2 weeks is more realistic.

I’m about 20 miles from Glossoo if that’s any help ?

Last posting for whole blankets is Saturday 27th April, no later please, but asap will make it easier for us! These are going to Teddington.

I'm quite near to Shropshire, in that I can see Long Mynd in the distance when I walk the dog

There's a blanket on it's way to you and I'm now working on squares.

Put me down for a whole blanket.

DD and I are working on squares already...

Hello again everyone!
Lovely to see lots of familiar names
Bear - baby bear not so little anymore !
I'm coming up to half way along enough squares for a blanket . I am going on hols shortly, so will carrying on making squares while I'm there - how much yarn/clothes ratio do you think ? ( I have to let DH take some clothes ......)

It's got to be 80/20 surely Book?

Yes, I'm in : some peskies to sew in on my Candy squares ( Memo to self - do it as you go, you know it makes sense.... ) , then full steam ahead for the 2019 Chernobyls.

baby bear not so little anymore!

Two in a few weeks time

Pardon, Bear??! Two???
Are you sure?

I'm convinced someone has swapped her for a badly behaved imposter, my child would never mash soggy Wotsits into the carpet or put a Nerf gun in the washing machine. Fairly sure mine isn't nearly 2yo either and is still at that cute but not yet mobile stage.

Sorted my wool and I've got at least five balls in the right colours

watch out, you may have five tangles of spaghetti in the right colours.

(8 years later I threw the tangle away as I was not going to ever detangle)

I'm in too. I need a holiday project. I'm not sure whether I'll send squares or a whole blanket - it depends how the holiday goes

Afternoon!

Wool warehouse has a sale on stylecraft, have brought enough to make quite a few squares!
