Hi dear Sally, what a beautiful temperature blanket, the colours in it are gorgeous. Sweet your fingerless gloves and wraps turned out super beautiful, perfect for those cold days. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get the reindeer made, well not yet anyway 😊, I absolutely love making the Donuts, they can all turn out so different from one pattern. Mmmmm the Stegosaurus 😮 fingers crossed 🤞🤞. Please take care my lovely friend, big hugs and much love as always 🫂❤️

Happy New Year Sally. Your temperature blanket is amazing. I’m sure I wouldn’t have the patience you have to finish one. Great use of your advent yarn too. Hope you had a great day with your sister xx❤

[@nannymoonscrochet]

Hi Jules 👋 Thank you very much, I had always wanted to make a temperature blanket, so I was determined to get it finished 😀 I didn't see my sister, unfortunately, as we live 130 miles apart, I phoned her though and sang happy birthday to her 😁 🥰 X

[@tinribs1974]

Hi Sally, I think it’s wonderful that you are going to do Sophie’s universe. My yarn as just arrived to do this, so what great motivation to be able to join in with your Sophie’s Saturday 🎉

[@nannymoonscrochet]

Hi tinribs 👋 Great , I'm a little bit anxious as I've never done anything like it before, together we can do it 💪 😄 🥰 X

[@tinribs1974]

Yes of course we can Nannie moon ❤😊

[@jeannewells6747]

Your temperature blanket is so lovely I'm doing one this year following Gum Leaf made with little granny square what a great idea using the left over yarn to make hand warmers ❤

[@nannymoonscrochet]

Hi Jeanne 👋 Thank you very much, I loved making the blanket, that's great to use granny squares, it will look amazing 🥰 X

[@jaynebingham1322]

Hi Sally love your temperature blanket and hand warmers I would love to see you crochet to see how you hold the hook and yarn I am trying to learn to crochet I just love all the animals that you make I bought myself a beginners kit it an 🐙 lol I feeling uncomfortable on the way to hold the yarn but practice makes perfect as they say 😅❤

[@nannymoonscrochet]

Hi Jayne 👋 Thank you very much, I am hoping to get a new angle stand so I can film a tutorial 😊 yes practice makes perfect 😅 🥰 X

[@InmysparetimeCrochet]

Hi Sally, omg your temperature blanket is delicious! 😍 lol… wonderful job! I am actually going to do one myself this year! ❤ I look forward to seeing your next squares for the CAL, I used the chart again for the next week’s one.. also looking forward to seeing your Dino donut 🍩 xx

[@nannymoonscrochet]

Hi Jenni 👋 Thank you very much. My blanket is so soft and cuddly like a cloud ☁️ 😀 glad it's done, though. I can't believe I missed last week slide show 😫 I have caught up now, oh no, the stegosaurus what a donut to choose for the first week back 😁 🥰 X

[@missapippin9020]

Hello Sally. Your temperature blanket is absolutely beautiful. I have a very busy week with my mum being in hospital. It is quite a long round trip to the hospital and back from where we live. It is her birthday on Thursday she will be ninety years old. I am looking forward to doing Sophie’s Universe but I don’t think my yarn will be here by Saturday. They have notified me it is on its way but it is coming from the UK. Good luck with the donut, I’m sure it will be fine. Take care and love to Dot Love from Australia xx❤

[@nannymoonscrochet]

Hi Missapippin 👋 Thank you very much, I'm glad to have finished it, my Mom is 91 on valentines Day, wish her a happy birthday from me,💐 the first part of Sophie's Universe is only a few rounds so it'll be alright, ooh dear the donut 🤭 I could have picked an easier one to ease back into them, take care my lovely friend 🥰 X

[@RitasWhichcraft-hp2dx]

Hi Sally, I absolutely love your finished Temperature blanket. I should start one while I’m in Germany and then do another one in Australian see the difference in colours. I love your scarf as well, with your mittens, so cute!! Castle

[@nannymoonscrochet]

Hi Rita 👋 Thanks very much, that would be very interesting to see German & Australian weather a big difference I bet 😀 🥰 X

[@hooksstitches9535]

Hello Sophie Saturday's sounds great Sally look forward to that you could do the 1st 2 rounds on the 1st video with it being so small 💞

[@nannymoonscrochet]

Hi Natasha 👋 Thanks, my first week will be showing yarn and talking about the sets of rounds, 🥰 X

[@gailshaughnessey8914]

You will love completing Sophie's Universe. I finished mine some time ago. I took my copy of the book to an office store (here in the US) and had them spiral bind it. This way you can lay it flat. There is also a free KZbin tutorial by Esther Dijkstra (It's All in a Nutshell); she's very good. I have been meaning to make another Sophie - perhaps I'll join your make along.

[@nannymoonscrochet]

Hi Gail 👋 Thank you very much for the great advice on spiral binding the book, and the KZbin tutorial, I think I may need it, 😊 that would be lovely if you join us, 🥰 X

[@maryfennell9672]

Hi Sally!! The temperature blanket is beautiful and the edging is perfect. I love the gloves and little bag you made with the yarn swap leftovers, great idea to use all the little bits up. Oh the Stegosaurus!! That should keep me busy this week lol!!! My daughter bought me a copy of Sophie's Universe so I am hoping I will be brave enough to have a go, it does look complicated!! Not sure what yarn to use but will probably stick to Stylecraft Dk, just need to sit down and decide on colours then order what I need from my local shop or wool warehouse. Have a lovely week my dearest friend xxx

[@nannymoonscrochet]

Hi Mary 👋 Thank you so much, I am glad to get the temperature blanket finished it's so soft, 🤭 the stegosaurus. Oh my goodness, what a start, 😀 It will be lovely if you do Sophie's Universe, I will do a video Saturday to say what colours ect I'm using, I'm definitely sticking to Stylecraft special Dk, after washing the temperature blanket and tumble dried it ,it's like a cloud ☁️, enjoy your week my lovely friend 🥰 X

[@maryfennell9672]

@@nannymoonscrochet Sounds like I need to invest in a tumble drier Sally as I currently don't have one!! 😂🥰

Oh, I did Sophie's Universe around 6 or so years ago, and I loved it!! How is Chris doing? I watched her podcast when she did it. Is her cancer in remission, if you're allowed to say? It would be so nice to see her again if she was up for it. ❤ Take care and see you soon. xx

[@nannymoonscrochet]

Hi Debbie 👋 How lovely that you did Sophie's universe ,I know Chris said she is going to do a podcast soon, such a beautiful lady, take care my lovely friend 🥰 X
