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.

Another Knitter and Another Blanket to Cast On

Wow! The charity knitting bug is really contagious! We have ANOTHER knitter! She is kaniger (both on KH and Ravelry). Welcome!

To celebrate the addition of our recent joinees, a new blanket will be cast on shortly. This one will be called California Coast, and it will be knit in alternating stripes of blue and gold, which are California's state colors.

The knitters for this blanket are:

auburnchick (casting on)
kaniger
sepenguins (rav)
Purlingkitten
nostash2big(rav)
knittinmitchie
tripletmomma (border)

The yarn will travel with the blanket, and all knitters will use the same yarn to keep the colors identical.

Exciting stuff, people! Lots of babies to knit for! Woo Hoo!
