Goodbye, Summer!

And what a summer it's been here in the Northeast. Heat, hurricanes, earthquakes, and lots of lovely preemie blankets flying off the needles. As the weather turns cooler and the leaves turn colors, settle in with a cup of something warm and yummy and some charity knitting. What could be better!

Happy 3rd Anniversary!

Congratulations to all of the Northeast Oddballers, past and present, for reaching this amazing milestone! It is overwhelming to think of the time, love, and dedication given by so many talented individuals over the past 36 months. You are each amazing, and yet the total is still greater than the sum of its parts. Take some time to think of what it is we create together and how these blankets touch the lives of those who receive them. None of us could do it alone, and how magnificent it is what we do together. Here's to another great year of giving and stitching!

Happy July to all!

So, as you may know, I have the honor of coordinating the Northeast US Oddball Preemie blankets. Completed blankets will be mailed to me and then turned over to Spikey to be taken to The Special Delivery Unit at CHOP in Philadelphia. Though these blankets may be small, I know they make an enormous difference to those who receive them. Thank you for your continued efforts to produce these tiny treasures.
