It's very exciting to see all this activity. And to get a taste of what's to come, here's our first picture of Confetti, courtesy of kae1crafts:

Can't wait to see the progress on the rest of our blankets!

Twenty-five and Counting

Pinnut spent some time searching our past posts and noted how many blankets we've worked on in 2010. According to her count, the grand total comes out to 25! And that number might not even include our two newest blankets! In Pinnut's words, "This group is truly amazing, and I am so proud to be a part of it. Let’s give purlingkitten, our coordinator a HUGE “Thank You” for keeping all of these blankets circulating. We could not accomplish so much without her. Thank you, Janet!" Hear, hear! And thank you, Nancy, for compiling this information :)

Now onto some pretty pictures to better illustrate this group's awesomeness.

First up we have Baby Blueboy:

For those of you who are curious, bailchri said she used a TLC 'Wiggles' yarn for her colorful section.

The next two pictures come to us courtesy of pinnut. Here is Beach Ball ready for its border:

And here's our newest blanket, Sweet Pea:

Ladies, you all deserve a big round of applause. Keep up the excellent work!
