The Blanket for FiveGoMadInDorset and her family, lovely folk, we need help.

[KnottyAndPistey]

Such sad news from lovely FiveGoMadinDorset, her wonderful DH died towards the end of July from the bastard illness which is cancer. We send so much love to Five and her two wonderful children, aged just 13 and 11. Cancer is so cruel, and we are so sorry they are now without him, we send huge hugs to all who love and miss him. Her thread is here… if anyone would like to post.

FiveGoMadinDorset is one of our brilliant Woolly Hugs’ crew, such a compassionate soul who has helped countless families on here and with our other projects too, it’s time for us to do something woolly for her now. We are so glad she has accepted our offer for a blanket for her and the children. Can you help us? We shall need crafters and donors alike.

Five and their children have had a think of ideas to help make this a real tribute to him, a true celebration, and there's lots we hope folk can tackle, but please don’t feel daunted, simple squares are needed too.

Their ideas...
The family’s initials are D, S, E and S. But they all called him by his nickname Titch

Is there a date for final postings? I've knitted a few squares and am trying to work out something Terry Pratchett themed. Christmas snug squares have been taking up my time recently.

Just put mine in the post . Also some squares for the Christmas snug project. Hopefully you will receive them tomorrow .

Afternoon lovelies

I have neither cake nor tea :(

I've done three. Hopefully they will be in the post by Monday with some other (late ) stuff.

Have you had other squares arrived K&P? Mine were posted last week some time. Thanks.

Posting mine early next week.

Ooh @PurpleFrog that pheasant is amazing! Love the other squares too, but had a pheasant who used to visit my garden earlier this year who got quite tame. 😍. You are so talented!

Thank you @Wintersnowdrop - it’s good to know it is recognisable!

Beautiful pieces! Such skill, kindness and love.

If anyone needs yarn I can do a small donate.

As always, I love seeing the skill and talent displayed by the crafters! The Woolly Hugs FB page always makes me feel content when I see a new post .

Afternoonio :)

Just made a big fat cup tea

and am on squares!

Stand by

More beautiful woolly treasure has arrived, thank you so much to everyone, just gorgeous.

@Yiayoula Her beautiful knitted hearts in a gorgeous purple and darker duck egg. They are sublime.

AS Stunning treasure in two shades of rich purple, beautiful solid granny designs and a fabulous star. Glorious

@BlueEyeshadow Gorgeous crochet designs, a beautiful mixed colour traditional granny, circle to square and a solid granny too, in gorgeous greens, blue and yellow. Super

Absolutely lovely, thank you so much everyone. Right off to check the silver postal sack, make sure none have been missed! xxx

I've still not had any wool - hopefully hasn't got lost in the post as I'd hate for someone to have lost their money.

Right Okki we will get this sorted!

💪

Hi Knotty and Pistey, please can I check if you've received my squares? Thank you! [Flowers]

I've still not had any wool - hopefully hasn't got lost in the post as I'd hate for someone to have lost their money.

Same here and I've definitely not missed any parcels because we've all been at home poorly. I really hope it hasn't gotten lost

I'm on this, please don't fret yet pets

Am coming with squares @Zhx3 - the post today hasn't been, just had the van, sometimes things come separately, when did you post?

Oh!!

Literally just then the posty came
