We have heard the desperately sad news that snorris' daughter has lost her battle against a congenital heart condition she was just 7 years old. Snorris' thread is here if you would like to add your condolences. She starts it with a different name (accidia) as you will see.
We send snorris love from us all and are so sorry for her loss. She and her family are in our hearts and thoughts X
We have offered to make snorris and her family a Woolly Hug and hope it may give whatever comfort it can to them. We are so pleased that they have accepted.
So once again we are asking for your help
I will co-ordinate and Knotty (KnottyLocks) is here to answer any queries you may have. We need crocheters, knitters and donors (of funds or wool). If you would like to be involved in any way, please PM me with your offers, crafting, donating, need wool etc
Heartfelt thanks

*S loved 'Build a Bear'

Simple or complex, made by beginner or expert, we genuinely welcome them all. It really is the love and thought that counts.
Do use the crafting guide on our website for help and ideas. Previous blankets can be seen here too. We are on Facebook at MNWoollyHugs and on Twitter @MNWoollyHugs. Both are good ways to keep in touch.
When ready for posting, please PM me for info.
So sad that another blanket is needed. Snorris my lovely, we are thinking of you and the girls, your family and friends and sending love X
As always Blanketeers, we thank you so much for your support
