  • The Blanket for GoJetterGirl

    The Blanket for GoJetterGirl

    Dear Woolley Hug Friends

    I want to give a heartfelt thank you to everyone who contributed to Ben’s wonderful Woolley hug, you captured my special little boy perfectly, I can literally fee the love that has gone into every stitch

    Today would have been Ben’s 8th birthday, I was unsure about how I would be coping today, this wonderful Woolley hug (delivered today!) has brought me so much comfort and a hint that perhaps my little boy made sure I was destined to receive it today to make sure that I had the comfort I need

    thank you so so much, Ben in one of his lucid moments before he passed asked if all the messages I was reading him were from “mommy’s friends” and I can honestly say that even now, mommy’s friends have her back and continue to help me, love, GoJetterGirl xxx

    Our original thread is here, sending so much love to the GoJetters family and remembering Ben. Thank you so much everyone xxxx

  • Welcome to the Winter of Woolly Love 2020!

    Welcome to the Winter of Woolly Love 2020!

    Welcome to the Winter of Woolly Love 2020!

    We know some of our crafting crew enjoy to take on a small woolly/crafty project over the Christmas holidays, so are launching our Winter of Woolly Love.

    This year we would like to focus on our Kinship Hugs

    We are asked from time to time to help families or individuals within our own Woolly Hugs’ community going through incredibly difficult, bleak or sad times, by sending them a blanket full of love and comfort. We see these as helping folk who need support and compassion. Can you help us? We would be so very grateful. We would love to collect 12 inch ( or 6) squares in Stylecraft Special DK to make blankets, and would like to ficus on the two palettes as shown here. Our Traditional palette and Classic palette. This will help us in compiling and donating to families. Just from these colours please, simple, complex, single colours, multi (within a collection), all very welcome indeed. We also welcome knitters and crocheters equally to this project.

    Please contact us if you need the postal address, but it will be Teddington and as soon as possible please after .

    Traditional palette: Parchment, cloud blue, denim, sherbert, aster, petrol, lipstick, claret, burgundy.
    The Woolly Hug classic palette: Lavender, plum, violet, emperor, storm, meadow, cypress, denim, petrol, sage

    Please no blocking and PLEASE sew in your pesky ends. Thank you.

    Do contact us if we can help any further. We are so grateful.

     

    Much love to all this Christmas time

     

    THANK YOU! xxxx

  • The Blanket for Crazyladee

    The Blanket for Crazyladee

    To Pistey, Knotty and the wonderful woolly hugs ladies,
    I have received the blanket this morning and I honestly can’t thank you wonderful ladies (and men if applicable!) enough. Its absolutely stunning and honestly, it’s arrived at the perfect time as its nearly 12 months since I lost my beautiful Alex I am struggling as you can imagine. I can’t wait to curl up in the evenings with it wrapped around me.
    I shall treasure it for the rest of my life.

    Thank you again Andrea, Matt, Oliver and of course, Alex xxxxx
