Nearly there?

At our evening meeting this week, the Ty Hafan blanket was spread out on the floor - and it's almost finished.  At least, only a couple more squares are required, and quite a lot of the ones we have are sewn together.  Perhaps we will complete it before the All Wales Meeting in Llanidloes in October, two years after we started?

More about Ty Hafan

Well, more about the blankets really.  At the All Wales meeting in Llanidloes last year I (foolishly?) agreed, on behalf of the Guild, to take on making some more squares - and got talked into doing a whole blanket.  That's forty-eight 10" squares, mostly white this time.  But we're cracking on with it, and so far we are about a quarter of the way through.  I have a nasty feeling it's me that's going to have to stitch them all together......
Photos of progress so far to follow, once I've recharged the battery for my camera.


As promised:

Ty Hafan Children's Hospice Blanket


We were invited to help raise money for Ty Hafan, the children's hospice, and have been busy making textile squares. Ty Hafan are planning a giant dragon blanket, made of smaller blankets each made of 10inch squares; the blanket is so huge that the squares are of one colour only (ours are green - other groups will presumably be red or black). This is some of our work so far: some spinning & knitting, some patchwork.

(and apologies to Welsh speakers: I haven't worked out how to add the "to bach" to the text)
