Remember I mentioned in the last post that I'd received some lovely squares from Aileen?
I never managed to take photos of her yummy squares before they were whisked away by Marta to turn into a blanket. After a bit of to-ing and fro-ing and discussing how best to use Aileen's squares - just look what gorgeousnous Marta has created from the original squares.................
Lovely!
Another scrummily warm blanket was created by Angela's squares and the dedicated piecing out and sewing by Gillian - the autumnal colours are brilliant - unfortunately the only picture I have does it no favours but trust me it looks wonderful :)
A few more cuddly toys are off too -
The lion is such a cute pudding of a toy he was nearly adopted by my boys, the other two are so tactile and fit nicely in little hands - I am sure they will be loved by who ever adopts them :)
These two characters have already gone, again they nearly missed being posted as my Youngest really fancied them - but bless him, he said that although he loved them he knew they were meant for other children who would need them much more.❤❤
Now a request - we have run low of squares and although we as a group are still making squares and blankets we would love❤❤ love❤❤ love❤❤ to have some more - the weather is definitely cooling down and a lot of families are still living in temporary housing and sadly some are still in makeshift shelters - can you imagine living like that and not being able to sleep warmly at night?
Even if you only have a few scraps of yarn left over from your last wip - please think of us and make a square or two!!
Thank you!!
Could you send me the address again, please. I have tons of yarn here & could whip up a few more grannies in no time.

Thanks!
Great post! If Angela sends any more wonderful squares I will volunteer to blanket them! I had such fun. Cannot wait till you get feedback from Japan. I miss the lion so am making one for me!
ReplyDeletehello and a huge thanks to Marta for making my squares into such a wonderful blanket - what a talented lady you are. Will try and get some more squares done for you.

I have a blanket that is ready to go coming your way (have you recieved my e-mail? Anyway...) and I am crocheting away as we speak in my hotelroom (business trips can be boring at times!) on another blanket. If I have 2 (or maybe 3!) blankets finished I will send them your way. Promise!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your wonderful work!
Esther.
PS. Here's the blanket I am sending you. WOOT!

Esther!
Apologies to Aileen; sorry I called you Angela. It was your bright squares and an idea from Kate that inspired me; not many original thoughts in my body!
ReplyDeleteI love the zigzag granny!
ReplyDeletethe zig zag granny is wonderful but all the blankets and toys look brilliant. Feeling quite guilty now that I haven't made many recently.
