We are making AMAZING progress towards our 2013 goals!!

As of today there are 13 completed worsted weight blankets and 3 completed DK weight blankets.  So we are on a roll!

Due to the number of blankets and hamham continuing to heal from her injury, I will temporarily be accepting both the completed DK weight blankets and the Worsted Weight blankets to get them ready for delivery. 

If there is anyone interested in accepting the worsted weight blankets to get them ready for distribution, I would be happy to share the load.  It is a big job to accept them, which includes washing the blankets so they are free from any odors or hair.  Loose ends also need to be woven in and the person that receives the blankets needs to go through and check that there are no loose stitches or stitches that have been missed and make any necessary repairs.  If anyone is up for the challenge I am happy to share, if not I have no problem keeping things going.

You all do such an AMAZING job making these Oddball blankets into works of art!

Moving along in 2013

I can't believe it is already January 23, 2013.  This year is flying by already!!

As we look forward to what 2013 has to offer us all, I think it would be great if we set some goals here on the DK Weight Preemie blanket blog.  

In 2012 this amazing group completed 36 blankets!!  I think that deserves major applause.

I know I mentioned this in our thread on Ravelry.com - but I think that together we can create 50 blankets in 2013.  

What do you think, can we do it?!

With the help of our new members on board, it gives us more hands working on these precious preemie blankets and keeping them moving along.


~As Knead2knit has stepped down as moderator for the DK Preemie weight Oddballs, I just want to give her a big thanks for all of her hard work and dedication to the group.  She did an incredible job thinking things moving along.  We look forward to Christine staying on board and helping knit along when she has time. ~
