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! <br /> <br /> <br /><span style="font-weight:bold;font-size:180%;" >Recently Completed Blankets</span><span style="font-size:180%;"> <br /></span/ <br /> <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b105/babybaattoms/cherrymoon.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 319px; height: 238px;" src="http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b105/babybaattoms/cherrymoon.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a> <br /> <br /> <br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Cherry Moon-pink, red, yellow</span> <br />msbookie-done <br />kellee0302-done <br />gmmarton-done <br />innature-done <br />knead2knit--border patrol, too-done <br /> <br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Lilac (purples, whites, greens)</span> <br />cherr1979 - done <br />spikey - done <br />msbookie-done <br />ramblinroo-done <br />knead2knit (border patrol too)- done <br /> <br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Ducks in a Pond-yellow, green, orange, and blue</span> <br />msbookie-done <br />gmmarton-done <br />Innature-done <br />llittlemissa-done <br />knead2knit-done <br /> <br /> <br /><span style="font-weight:bold;"><span style="font-size:180%;">Newly Announced Blankets</span> <br /> <br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Peter Piper-shades of green <br /></span> <br />knead2knit-done <br />RJSTA-ready <br />3rd slot open <br />4th slot open <br />msbookie-border, too <br /> <br /><span style="font-weight:bold;font-size:180%;" >Blankets in Circulation with all slots filled</span> <br /> <br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Hopscotch--any colors; all with rectangles and squares in the stitch patterns</span> <br />knead2knit--done <br />msbookie-done <br />kenben-ready <br />llittlemissa <br />sugarmagknowya, border, too <br /> <br /> <br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Vanilla Cupcake--white and off white, with or without dots</span> <br />knead2knit-done <br />kellee0302-ready <br />sugarmagknowya <br />llittlemissa-done <br />msbookie-border, too-working <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Jack Be Nimble-all one yarn, yarn is provided</span> <br />knead2knit-done <br />innature-working <br />kellee0302-done <br />msbookie-done <br />hamham-border, too--ready after 9/4 <br /> <br /> <br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Willy Nilly--all variegated yarns</span> <br />sugarmagknowya-done <br />knead2knit-done <br />gmmarton-done <br />kenben <br />msbookie-border patrol, too <br /> <br /> <br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Seaside Sky</span> <br />spikey - done <br />wooljane - done <br />gmmarton - done <br />hamham-working <br />knead2knit (border patrol too) <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://images4.ravelrycache.com/uploads/ramblinroo/65908699/Water_Lilies_-_Copy_medium2.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 640px; height: 480px;" src="http://images4.ravelrycache.com/uploads/ramblinroo/65908699/Water_Lilies_-_Copy_medium2.JPG" alt="" border="0" /></a> <br /> <br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Water Lilies (blue is provided, flower/leafy colors)</span> <br />wooljane - done <br />justbeth - done <br />ramblinroo - done <br />innature - done <br />wooljane (border patrol too)-working <br /> <br /> <br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Cotton Candy (pastel pink, blue, white)</span> <br />knead2knit - done <br />picksupstix - done <br />msbookie -done <br />msbookie - done <br />innature - working <br /> <br /><span style="font-weight:bold;font-size:180%;" >Inactive Blankets</span> <br />We are thrilled to welcome <span style="font-weight:bold;">Tropical Sunshine, Lilac, and Seaside Sky</span> back into circulation.

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.

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.

Since our inception, we have completed <strong>66 worsted weight</strong> blankets and <strong>54 DK weight</strong> blankets - and there is no end in sight!</p> <p style="font-family: verdana;">The fantastic MotherHenKnits and hamham have agreed to also take over the DK blanket side of our group, for as long as we all want to continue making the wonderful little treasures.</p> <p style="font-family: verdana;">For the time being, I am happy to continue to collect the finished DK weight blankets and keep bringing them to the CHOP Special Delivery Unit, but if someone else wants to bring them elsewhere that would be terrific, too.</p> <p style="font-family: verdana;">I want to thank all of you from the bottom of my heart for your creativity, dedication, hard work, dollars spent on supplies and postage, and countless hours spent knitting and crocheting these little oddball tokens of love. They mean so very much to all of the recipients.</p> <p style="font-family: verdana;">For now, I will continue to work on those blankets that are still in circulation, and will help out with knitting when I can. And I’ll continue to hound those who are holding onto our blankets, until they all come home!</p> <p style="font-family: verdana;">Thank you for allowing me to have this wonderful opportunity.</p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Here is my last update of DK blanket progress:</span><br /><br /><span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;" ><strong>Salt Water Taffy (taffy colors)</strong></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Spikey (done, Bernat Softee Baby in Pink, Double Seed Stitch)</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Stitchermom</span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"> (Ravelry) (done)<span style="font-weight: bold;

There are four, count 'em, four new DK weight blankets that are ready to start circulating.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />Sign up to show your regional/state pride with these new blankets.<br /><br />Thanks,<br />Spikey<br /></span><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span></span><br />Salt Water Taffy (taffy colors)</strong></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Spikey (done, Bernat Softee Baby in Pink, Double Seed Stitch)</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Stitchermom</span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"> (Ravelry) (done)<span style="font-weight: bold;

Due to an increase in her work commitments, gmmarton is stepping down from organizing blankets, but will continue to knit and crochet with us.

Others will be assisting with coordinating and delivering our worsted weight blankets, and we'll acknowledge those people as soon as they are confirmed.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />Fondly,<br />Spikey<br /><br /></span></span><span style="font-weight: bold;">----------------------------------------------------------------</span><br />Salt Water Taffy (taffy colors)</strong></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Spikey (done, Bernat Softee Baby in Pink, Double Seed Stitch)</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Stitchermom</span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"> (Ravelry) (done)<span style="font-weight: bold;

Both still have open spots for knitters. I also started two new blankets on my trip, and will name them and open them up to volunteers soon.<br /><br />Thanks to everyone for all of your time, materials, and effort this past year! The CHOP SDU is <span style="font-style: italic;">so</span> grateful for our blankets.

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!<br /><br />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!<br /><br />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.<br />------------------------------------------------<br /></span><span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;" ><strong>Salt Water Taffy (taffy colors)</strong></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Spikey (done, Bernat Softee Baby in Pink, Double Seed Stitch)</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Stitchermom</span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"> (Ravelry) (done)<span style="font-weight: bold;

We've even had some return from blanket purgatory, woo-hoo!<br /><br />In the interest of keeping the focus on WIPs, I've created a new blog for pics and lists of completed blankets. The link is included in the column to the right. This way, viewers who want can see all of our completed work (baby and preemie blankets), but the posts should be a bit less lengthy. Please let me know what you all think of this new arrangement.<br /><br />Also, please help me welcome two new members of our group: <span style="font-weight: bold;">sugermagknowya</span> (Rav) and <span style="font-weight: bold;">robkat317</span> (KH)!!<br /><br />Here are the latest blankets in progress, including our four newest blankets, which still have some open spots for knitters (if you don't see a favorite here, look for it on the completed blankets blog):<br /><br /></span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:trebuchet ms;" ><span style="font-size:130%;">Pastel Rainbow (all garter stitch)</span></span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span>Spikey</span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"> [pink] (done, Bernat Softee Baby)<br />bobi1218 (Ravelry)</span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"> [peach] (done)<br />threesmom</span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"> [yellow] (done)<br />lisa1216</span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"> [green] (done)<br />LHFBM [blue]</span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">(done)</span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;">SteveDallas [lavender] (working!)learning crochet, just to make our border!
