Home again, home again

Hi there,

After an extended business trip, I came in on the redeye this morning. It's good to be home and I'm looking forward to the long weekend to recuperate. Lots of knitting accomplished, though, so that's one good thing about traveling!

Lots of other folks made progress since the last update, too, but we've still got some open slots for knitters and crocheters. So jump in, the water's fine!

Have a great Memorial Day weekend everyone. I know while we are grilling out with friends and family on Sunday, we will remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice, and those currently serving in our Armed Forces.

Finally, An Update

edited - 5/12 to update knitters. Also, please help me welcome LaraBoBara, Vertigo1414, and norepeats!

Hi Northeasters!

Sorry to be so long in coming, but Spikey has been the road warrior. I finally have a few minutes this quiet morning to update our blog to reflect the great work that everyone has done.

As always, if you don't see your favorite blanket here, look on our completed blankets blog for a final picture.

We've started three new blankets: Pretty in Pink, Dots, and he who has not (yet) been named by threesmom/justbeth. There are also still some opening on a few of the other blankets, so just let me know where you'd like to jump in.

Please also help me welcome two new knitters, knead2knit and kdstrack! Welcome, Ladies!

Thanks to everyone who continues to make this project so successful!

All the best,
Spikey
