Out Like a Lamb

Not so much...with the hailstorm we had yesterday, March is leaving like it came, roaring!

Our first delivery of 18 blankets (17 from the group, and one crocheted by mdc550) was very well received by the folks at the Special Delivery Unit of The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.

Aren't they beautiful?



We've got lots of new blankets started, and there are plenty of spots for interested knitters. Just let me know where you'd like to jump in. Our very own knitterluvspurls is starting two for us!

Please also help me welcome skein123, our newest group member - and another male knitter in our midst! Love it!

In Like a Lion

(Updated with two new blankets, new pics, and blanket progress 3/11)

Hi Northeasters!

Sorry to be so delayed in posting. After an extended business trip, I've now got a nasty cold. As long as I can type and cough at the same time, I can get the blogs updated, at least!

Some amazing progress has been made on our preemie blankets, with many older blankets finished, and many new ones started. Our first big delivery will be scheduled soon!

A new blanket has been started - Little Boy Blue - let me know if you want to help out with it.

We got a little snow overnight, but are scheduled for "8 to 14 inches" tonight - a real Nor'easter!

Stay safe and warm everyone!
