[B]Members:[/B] Please welcome three more knitters to our group. These knitters are from Ravelry. They are daddysgirl, mandyzmoon and flyfish. Our group just keeps on growing and growing. We are now [B]14[/B] strong!!! Today is a [B]VERY GOOD[/B] day for our KAL!!!

14!? Holy moley (I SO wanted to use another word instead of “moley”)! That’s amazing, we ROCK!

Yes, we are going to cover those babies with love and warmth! [B]WE DO ROCK!!![/B]

Amazing. Welcome to all the new knitters.

Ive had to make a few changes to the blanket list in order to incorporate our new members, so that they too get a chance to knit on a blanket that will go into the first delivery to The Hospital for Sick Children. I also tried to keep locations in mind to save on postage costs. Ive grouped you into areas and we will try it and see how this works.

Here’s the list of blankets, who will knit on them and where they are right now:

I think this list is incredible… one month ago there was no such thing as the Canadian Division of the Oddball Baby Blanket KAL - KnittingHelp.com. Now we have eight blankets in production.

[B]Every one of you deserved a huge hug!!! Way to go Ladies![/B] :hug:

Congratulations! What a huge success! :cheering:

And your blog looks fantastic! (Don’t forget to post photos.)

I am AMAZED by all of the Canadian Oddball Knitters!
:notworthy:

Soft Hugs has been passed along to Kathy.
:knitting:

:yay: goodie

[B]Dangles,[/B] you are next. Gina V has finished knitting and the blanket will probably go in the mail to you tomorrow.

Please let me know when you receive it.

[B]Gina V[/B], please let me know the tracking number when you mail the blanket.

Happy Knitting!

[B]Flower Garden is all wrapped up and ready to go to Dangles! [/B] I will send it off tomorrow on my way home from work. [B]Christine, how do you send it?[/B] Regular Parcel Post? Xpresspost? I looked at the package you had sent me when it came in and made note of how you sent it … but can’t find it now sheesh (I think it was Xpresspost). Let me know!

Here is a photo of [B]Flower Garden [/B]so far. Not a great photo but if my part looks like solid mauve/lilac to you then that would be right LOL!

[B]Have fun Dangles![/B]

[B]Gina:[/B] It has to go First Class with a tracking number. It does not matter if it goes express or not, so long as you get a tracking number. If you want to spend the money on express that’s fine, but it is not necessary.

Thanks for finishing your part so quickly.

[B]Dangles:[/B] get ready, here comes Flower Garden!

[B]Members:[/B] Please welcome CelticCat and Stv to our group. They are knitters from Ravelry. Here we grow again!!

Keep up the good work Ladies!

Wow! I can’t believe we have so many knitters.
I am almost done with Mud Pie (another row or two) and I will post a picture ASAP.

It is great to see how this is all coming together. Good work ladies.
