    I have been hunting high and low for some Black DK wool as i want to use it to put the wooligans blankets together as i think it will be great with the warm colours, i have 3 black sacks of wool but no black and cannot buy it anywhere, if anyone has any spare that they could donate for this blanket i would be so grateful. i will ask my lot as well.

    Hello!

    I may have some (but will only be able to post in a weeks time when I get back to my house as it's there!) I think I have black cotton DK, or 100% acrylic, or a wool acrylic mix (but not sure how much of what!)- which type do you prefer?

    Sorry naomi I couldnt find any black, I have loads of fuzzy stuff in black but the only plain DK I can find is a tiny bit of tapestry wool.
    I will pop in to the charity shop tomorrow when I go shopping and see if they have any.
    Will let you know.

    Hi everyone, I'm a bit confused, I've been away for a week and reading through the threads it seems that there are enough squares for Smokie's blanket. I was about to post mine today(6) then wondered if I should. I have 14 squares in total. I have the addresses but not sure if they are needed for smokie.:confused::o
  • :ohi all, you've got me blushing with all the nice things you are saying,......stop it at once!!!:D
    seriously though, I'm no superwoman and definitely not any kind of angel....I'm just lainey the mad woman who likes to keep busy !!!!:rotfl:
    mioliere- This project was your brainchild and the amount of time you have devoted to it is amazing considering all the work you, you're the star here:A
    artystitches ..I have a fair bit of black DK, you're more than welcome to it chuck. Let me know.
    pippa, can't wait for your squares!

    right, gonna go and make tea, only OH and me tonight as DD has been at her BF since Friday.

    luv 'n' stuff, lainey;)

  • hi beethebee, hope you had a nice break?
    we have got enough for Smokybabes blanket but Whatatwit suggested that we could make smaller blankies for her children.35 squares for each blankie, we have 26 so far. She has a girl and two boys so folk have been kindly knitting in appropriate colours & the same size as before ,8" square. Just send all your squares to me,I'll pm you my address, and I'll sew them up.
    luv n stuff, Lainey

    Has everyone else signed up to the Yahoo site???

    I have just done it and cant understand it at all. Cant find the photos,nor the updated list,it wont let me change my ID and goodness knows how I ended up with my real name,obviously I did something wrong:mad: all this techno stuff I get so annoyed with myself for making such a hash of it all :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

    Right thats it I`m going to do some knitting to calm myself down ,that always works.Might have a :beer: as well, mmmmmm sounds like a plan.


    Think perhaps I am tired didnt get much sleep last night, have a frozen shoulder and its a real nuisance(to say nothing of painful)

    SARAH - well done on your ebaying. Thanks for all the squares you have done!


    PIPPA - hope you sleep better tonight. I'm as much in the dark about Yahoo as you - it takes me a while to get my head round this technology lark!

    LAINEY - I still think you're an angel! Thanks for your kind words but I love doing this!

    BETH - have replied to you on Yahoo and pm'd you to - keep knitting - we need loads more squares still!

    Well, off to do a bit more crocheting - I aim to get my squares in the post to you, Lainey, by Thursday to make sure they get there for Monday. You are a true angel, doing all this sewing up!
