Well - did you pop it?

Edit:
And obviously a huge well-done. That goes without saying.

Three hundred and fifty smackers! To a syndicate headed by Mr Collins, so that the blanky goes to the school!

£350 quid to the wonderful Mr Collins, who promptly donated it to the school who get the money we raised - so it was somneting of a double whammy and he deserves immense praise.

I really need to thank the other members of the syndicate for helping me raise so much money for the blanket.

I had made a decision early in the day to bid up to £200, but I really wanted the blanket to go to the school, so that they could see the beautiful piece of art that you had all created.

When I was starting to approach my limit, I was overwhelmed by people offering to chip in and help.

I'm ashamed to say that I was so merry by the end of the evening that I can't remember everyone who gave me money towards it, but I'm glad to say that I had the sense to put the money in a separate pocket to my spending cash! I was given £170 in total, and a promise of more to come from someone else, so as I'd planned to go to £200 anyway, as soon as I can bank the £170, I'll pay £370 into the JustGiving page so the charity's actually getting a little bit more that we thought

(by the way, if anyone who wasn't able to attend K:VI would like to donate anything to the charity, the Justgiving page is open for donations)

Thanks again to everyone who chipped in, and a huge thanks to all of the knitters for being part of such an amazing thing.

Now I just need to work out with Danny how to get the blanket to the school.
