Hi there, Hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful weather! Much like March Madness for basketball, or Malabrigo Madness for you junkies, we are having DK blanket madness. There are four, count 'em, four new DK weight blankets that are ready to start circulating.
My goal is to make sure that each of the states in our region is represented in at least one blanket. We've done a few in the past, and here are four more. As noted in our sidebar, all of our states have official and unofficial mottoes. Our new blankets are named for Delaware, Maine, New Hampshire, and Maryland.
Sign up to show your regional/state pride with these new blankets.
Thanks,
Spikey

Hi Northeasters!
Long time, no blog, eh? Finally have some updates on blanket progress, and four blankets have moved over to our completed blanket blog.
Please help me welcome RhondaH and ramblinroo, two new members of our group!
Also, please help me thank gmmarton for all of her efforts in coordinating the worsted weight blankets. Due to an increase in her work commitments, gmmarton is stepping down from organizing blankets, but will continue to knit and crochet with us. We will miss her as official worsted weight team cheerleader, and are greatly appreciative for all that she has done.
Thankfully, motherhenknits has graciously volunteered to maintain our tracking spreadsheet for the worsted weight blankets, as well as keep that blog up to date. Others will be assisting with coordinating and delivering our worsted weight blankets, and we'll acknowledge those people as soon as they are confirmed.
Thanks to everyone who continues to devote their time, energy, and valuable resources to this project, and a special thanks to those who have offered to pitch in during this transition.
Fondly,
Spikey
