It’s Time!!!

this weekend Saturday 6th October to be exact, the scarf is going up the Hill!

All 1749 squares have been gathered in and sewn together, and all are ready in 8 wondrously woolly rolls to be taken up the hill, where they will be joined as one. and there’s enough left over to make a bobble hat for the trig point too!

Meet at St Peters Church, Clee Hill (A4117 Ludlow road) at Midday to have cuppa while we sort out the logistics!

Many thanks to all the fabulous women who knitted, crocheted and sewed together the squares!

So very nearly almost there!

Hello lovely blog readers!

Well we are very nearly almost there with the squares, with a big bundle of wonderful crochet and knitting handed to me this week! Then there’s our 60 White squares for the Diamond Jubilee year! Bless her Majesty!

Will let you know when we have the total!

not far off now!

latest count is 1349 plus one! (which i finished last night after counting them all) so only 399 to go,and many still to be collected!

I’ll be doing some in white to celebrate the Jubilee and hope to do 5 Olympic ring squares too! tis the year to celebrate this land it seems!

update!!!

a quick tally this morning revealed that w now hav 1050 squares in our possesion! phew!! so thats just 699 to go!

Please let us know if you have made some so we can get them gathered in and counted!!

 

Looks like we’ll be putting the scarf on the Hill this Autumn!!!

what happens to the squares afterwards?

this is a question I am often asked, the answer is, that they will be made into blankets and given to local hopsices and care homes, some animal charities such as Happy Staffy Rescue have agreed to have some to keep their foster dogs warm and cosy and also Forest Dog Rescue.  If you know of any charities or organisations that would like blankets, from knee warmer size to double bed, please let us know! there will be a lot 🙂

 

halfway there!!

Hello again!! hope you had a fabulous Christmas, and here’s looking to a wonderful new year!

well at the last count, we have 875 so we’re officially halfway there!  only 874 to go! yay!

the Giants Scarf will be up there on the Hill in time for next Autumn all being well!!

Thanks to everyone who has made squares so far, please keep them coming in!
