A Benefit for our Canadian Branch

Hi Northeasters,

I received this message from the Western Canada Oddball KAL group, and am happy to share it with you:

"Our little branch of the Oddball KAL has grown so big that we have had to incorporate it as a Charitable Society. We are raising funds to do this by holding an online auction June 15-19th which can be found at http://wcobbs.auctionsalacarte.com/babyblankets."

Info is also available on their blog: http://wcobbs.blogspot.com/

Best,

Spikey

Hey Junebugs!

Hope everyone is having a relaxing Saturday, and has time to do a little KIP, as it is World Wide Knit in Public Day!

As we head into these lazy days of Summer, I'll adjust the pace of new blankets rolling out, depending on availability of knitters. No pressure, we'll add as we need, and keep the project moving along but not stress anyone out.

So, we've got one new blanket started, Junebug, which will be fun summer colors. Anyone interested?

Be chill, y'all...
