Bloggy Blanket after discussion

Jo's and Alison's idea of sending one or more squares to one person is a sensible solution to the cost of postage problem and Foster mummy very kindly said that she would sew them all together. Juliab also suggested more than one square eg a block of 4.

Sew, sorry, so let's give it a go for a Bloggy Blanket.

Campfire was interested in the fancy squares so I'm sure we can mix lots of different squares in the same blanket. Likewise Helen, the knitter, could have her knitted squares in there too. Each square should turn out 12cm x 12cm.

Mrs. T's idea of smaller lap blankets would make the posting of the final blanket less costly and Mrs. T would you like to be the final recipient as I'm sure that as a carer you can find a very good home for our offering?

Right girls, and anyone else who wishes to join in - to the knitting needles and crochet hooks.

Make a granny square or squares - fancy or plain (4mm hook, double knitting, 5 rounds, 12cm x 12cm - at least mine turned out 12cm x 12cm)

Send to Foster mummy and Foster mummy send 1st lap blanket to Mrs. T. You'll all have to organise addresses with each other via email.

Here are my first offerings.

Foster mummy are you able to find homes for any subsequent blankets?

And please shout when you've 'had enough' and maybe we could find another volunteer to do the sewing.

Sew, sorry, so what about the original idea? I'd still like to give it a go to see if it can be done. You would need to have crochet contacts on your blog to find 'the next one along' and sew, sorry, so on. I'll call this Bloggy Blanket Chain. I've set up some pages to log the progress.

Mrs. Tightwad, would you like to receive the first square, add to it, then pass it on so that you can be in on the action from the word go?  If so, will you email me your address and I will send it to you post haste!
