Blankets and A New Member!



Here are a few of the pictures of our blankets. Teddy Bear Love, if you look closely at the picture, actually has teddy bears knit into the pattern of brown. Powder Puff is on it's way home to me, where I will finish it up. It has the distinction of being the first finished blanket our group has done!

I am so very happy with the blankets and with all the work you Ladies have been doing for our KAL.

Please welcome Jeannettefromcanada. Jeannette is new to our KAL and comes to us from KH, where she is also new.

Welcome Jeannette and thanks so much for your interesting in becoming part of our knitting family.

Please welcome Mary to our KAL family. Mary is the wife of a co-worker of my husband. She lives in the next town to me. She is very excited to be a part of our KAL and she can't wait to knit her part on a blanket for a sick child!

This brings our membership number to 24. Two dozen members!!!

OK, so now it's time to knit some blankets!!! Let's go Ladies!!
I am so sorry it's been so long since I last posted. I was away for a week and when I got back I caught some kind of bug and have not even been knitting (and that means I was really ill). I will try to do better in the future.

OK here is a list of the blankets we have in planning or production and where they are right now:

Powder Puff: is in the mail right now to Sajomaro.
Flower Garden: is in the mail right now to Daddysgirl.
Mud Pie: is with MommaG and will be going in the mail some time this week.
Sky Blue: is going in the mail to STV some time this week.
Bold is Beautiful: is with kknitter.
Soft Hugs: is with Donna (MM employee).
Fluffy Clouds: is with Paulette (MM employee).
Canadian Flag: is with Shirley (Wasaga Pines resident).
Candy Store, Life's A Beach and Teddy Bear Love are all waiting to be started by people that have spoken for them.
Snails, Whales and Puppy Dog Tails: is being started by Dangles.
Sugar, Spice and All Things Nice: is in the planning stages right now, as are Soft Dreams of Spring and Princess Power.

Yes, we have 15 blankets either in production or in the planning stages of production.

Ladies, we are doing a really good job! I hope to have several blankets ready to take to Sick Children's Hospital at the end of May.
Let's make the first delivery REALLY special and memorable for the hospital and for the children!!!
