What a lovely day for post!
I've just had a whole bundle of parcels arrive at my door and I must tell you, the contents are GORGEOUS!
First, we have a wonderful set of 6 knitted squares, donated by Una
She has very kindly made these for the project
Thank you Una! They are perfect :-)
Next, we have 3 lovely squares that have been crocheted by Jessiebonbon from the Sibol ravelry group.
Beautiful, thank you so much!
Then I opened a parcel from MarilynJG (also from SIBOL Ravelry) which contained 9 gorgeous squares
Wonderful Marilyn, you have been busy! Thank you :-)
And last, but most certainly not least there was this stunning blanket from Joyce28
This is a beautiful blanket Joyce and absolutely perfect, it's so kind of you to make it. She has also included a couple of extra squares for me to add to the pile :-) Thank you!
I'd like to give a massive THANKYOU to the lovely ladies of the SIBOL Ravelry group-the wonderful ladies there have all been working very hard to make squares for this endeavour. You are all so kind!
Here's what it's all about-
'Cwtch of Comfort' requests blankets to donate towards bereavement
boxes for the '2Wish Upon A Star' charity that supports families
suffering the loss of a child. I have been inspired by the amazing SIBOL
project to ask people to send me squares as many find the thought of
making a whole blanket a tad overwhelming! So with your help, I'm
hoping to have a whole big pile of squares to work with by the end of
this month. Could you help?
Here's what I need you to do:
Make a square!
It can be either knitted or crocheted
It must be approx 6" (knitted can be a little bit smaller)
Pale pastel gender neutral colours or White only please
Acrylic yarn
Email me at amberspider@googlemail.com and I'll send you my address :-)
The
deadline for squares is the end of May 2015-I'd really like to have
lots and lots of squares to put together and any help would be so
appreciated. Even a share on your blog would be a massive help!
Thank you so much! xxx
Glad everything has arrived safely, you're going to have fun making up some blankets which we look forward to seeing also.
