We've all been super busy with the push to get worsted weight blankets ready for delivery. Now that our first batch has been delivered, our poor neglected preemie blankets can get some attention.
My goal is to deliver our first batch of preemie blankets right before Christmas. Let's get as many done as we can!!! Special thanks to The Blogger for a great tutorial on how to make the columns wider.
Here's our current status, including our new blankets that still need knitters:

Coincidentally, all of the blankets that I knitted this week were boy-themed.
Updated pics of Ocean Waves and Beautiful Boy have been put in the post below.
I also started another blanket, also edited into the post below. It needs a name, but has been started with blue, green, and white variegated yarn in Farrow Row Rob Stitch.
Any ideas? Anyone interested in filling any of our empty knitting or crocheting slots?
Northeast Knitters - you have all made some terrific progress on our preemie blankets! I can't wait until I can deliver them to the Special Delivery Unit at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.
Also, the lovely tuxedocat has started a new blanket, called Lavender Sachet, with lavender, green, white, cream, and tan. Anyone interested?
