Sorry for not exactly being on top of things. Life is getting in the way of posting.

The group has been hard at work on the blankets, and several have been finished.

Lemonade Stand

Disneyland

Disneyland was started by AuburnChick, who knit the red section and inserted hearts into it. They reminded her of Minnie Mouse. Each knitter selected colors that are associated with various Disney characters. AuntCrafty added the last section and then the border, which resembles Mickey Mouse ears.

The gals who worked on this blanket are:

**A special note about Disneyland. We will be donating this blanket to a knitting friend of our's who just learned of a young lady in desperate need of baby items for the upcoming birth of her child. What a generous group we have.

One other blanket update is Puppy Love. Nannaknits provided this photo with her section added:

Autumn Reds is Complete!

Nannaknits put the finishing touches on Autumn Reds. She posted the following information about the blanket:

It doesn't look like it in the picture but this blanket is pretty much square. I did the border in Chocolate brown, single crochet 5 rows with a crab stitch final row. I think it is really pretty.

The knitters who worked on this blanket were:

Y'all did a beautiful job!

Tropical Plantation is Complete!

Nannaknits, from over on KH, posted this update on Tropical Plantation:

Tropical Plantation is finished. Here is a picture of the final blankie. For the border I did three rows of single crochet followed by a row of backwards single crochet. I think they call that stitch the Crab stitch.

Other blankets are on the move. Hopefully, we'll have new pictures of them soon.

Grand Canyon Sunset is Complete!

Three Blankets are Growing!

Pinnut made quick work of the three blankets she received this week.

Lemonade Stand

Little Boy Blue

Puppy Love

We Have Completed Our Second Blanket!

Jhehanee added the border to Purple Mountains Majesty, making it our second finished blanket!


At the same time, she worked a section of the Rain Forest blanket. She used the double moss stitch pattern.

Our First Completed Blanket!

Woo Hoo! Our first completed blanket! This is Rainbow Sherbert. Its name changed a few times during its time with our knitters, but what matters the most is that the gals worked hard and turned out a beautiful work of love. The knitters who worked on this were:

grannydani
PeattieWa
Debkcs
nannaknits
Purlingkitten
knittinmitchie - completed the last section and the border

Any parent would be honored to have this blanket cover their wee one.

Carousel, Puppy Love, and Pretty in Pink Join the Family Too!

Our knitters have been keeping themselves out of trouble by starting a lot of new blankets this week!

AuburnChick cast on two more. The one below is Carousel, which is the colorway of the yarn. She used the Check Pattern from the book knit & purl.


The next blanket she cast on, in her enthusiasm for the yarn and the project, is called Puppy Love. The colorway is "Puppy," and the stitch is "Twisted Moss." The yarn actually has flecks of color in it, although the picture doesn't show them.


Nannaknits cast on Pretty in Pink. She used Caron Simply Soft "Pink," and the pattern is the Diagonal Rib from this site.

Lemonade Stand and Little Boy Blue Make Their First Appearance!

This project is growing by leaps and bounds, much like the babies who will be covered by these knit gifts of love.

AuburnChick finished casting on two new blankets: Lemonade Stand and Little Boy Blue. These will be preemie blankets.

Tropical Plantation is Growing More Lovely With Each Knitter!

Kaniger finished her section of Tropical Plantation! Doesn't this make you want to go for a nature walk in Hawaii? Lovely!!

Autumn Reds - Fall is in the Air

Dimpledapple just finished knitting her section of Autumn Reds. The honey looks lovely beside the red!

Desert Sand is Ready for a Border

Tripletmomma posted pictures of the blanket, and boy is it gorgeous! Our knitters are proving themselves extremely talented (and smart with colors). Make sure you're sitting down when you look at the pictures. They will blow you away.

We Have a New Member!
