More Completed Blankets

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

Lemonade Stand is one of our preemie blankets. AuburnChick cast on and then the other knitters ran with it. The gals who worked on it are:

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.

**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:

Disney Land -- Cheerily Making Progress

Lookie! Disney Land is getting a little bigger and looking more cheerful with each color added!

We're getting ready to start more blankets very soon too! Pumpkin Pie, Candy Cane, and Odds and Ends will soon be making their way onto our needles!

Three More Blankets Get Underway!

The momentum for this project has really taken off! Everyone is chomping at the bit to get their hands on these adorable blankets! As a result, three new blankets were cast on this weekend!

AuburnChick cast on California Coast and Disney Land. California Coast will be knit using California's state colors, gold and blue. She used a garter stitch and Vanna's Choice yarn.


She also cast on Disney Land, using I Love This Yarn (Red). This pattern was adapted to fit the blanket, with 90 stitches being cast on. A garter border of 25 stitches was knit on each side with the pattern worked on the 40 stitches in the center.


Nostash2big cast on Autumn Reds. She used Caron Simply Soft in Autumn Red. The pattern is called Checkerboard from the Harmony Guides book knit & purl.
