You are correct! Once again, I made a mistake. :doh:
The “Angel Wings” blanket is sitting in a pile of 10 things waiting to be mailed on the sofa. :help:
My plan is to mail those packages today or tomorrow. 
heheh–sorry I busted ya! I was just worried about the mail…not you! 
Thanks!
Thanks for understanding, my friend. 
As these blankets start coming in… I have a question…
How many blankets do you want me to donate at one time? I want to do what the group wants. Right now there are 3 blankets, and I Know several are almost finished, and headed this way.
Let me know what everyone thinks, I want to do what would be a group decision.
Thanks,
Add this to your decision-making soup:
We have 15 more baby blankets, and 8 preemie blankets in the works, but it will be a while before they are ready.
My cys (closest yarn store, I don’t have a local one) has all their Plymouth Speedway circular needles at 50% off. Let me know what sizes you still need, Shandeh and I’ll see what she has got left.
I found one size 6 yesterday at AC Moore… It seems long anough for the premie blankets we are doing… FYI for anyone buying needles for the project.
Thanks cdjack and doodknitwit. 
We need size 5, 6, and 7 circulars - preferably at least 21 inches long.
I went to my local Hobby Lobby today and inquired about a donation. The manager told me that these requests have to go through their corporate office, and he gave me their telephone number. I’ll try to call them on Monday and see what they will do. This is not something I mind doing since I’ve been doing it for soccer for quite a number of years. If they don’t want to or can’t, they’ll tell me. But it certainly is a worthy cause, thus worth the effort.
I’m also going to call KnitPicks on Monday.
Crossed Fingers
Oh, and I think that this is something that a small (meaning not franchise) LYS might be willing to donate for, if we gave them the website of the Oddball blankets. If I had one close to me, I’d inquire, but all we have are chain stores.
Good luck Nathalie! Don’t forget that Monday is a holiday and they might not be open. I’m really not sure how to go about asking for donations but if you are successful I might work up the courage to try.
Thank you for the reminder! My kids have to go to school, and I have to work, so I totally forgot. I’ll call on Tuesday.
As far as asking for donations, if it’s something you believe in, it’s easy to be sincere. I find that a lot of places want to help but are tied because of budget constraints. Every now and then, though, you get lucky.
Not a problem. I’ve been totally spoiled by the Options my dh gave me last year for Christmas.
Yay! :cheering:
Thanks so much, Nathalie!
Shandeh i have posted on my blog a load of needles i got today not going to retype too many lol
Let me know if any are of use and if you need anymore info on lenghth and sizes.
just spent 20 minutes with my needle sizes and converter
Thank you SO much for your hard work on that, my friend.
I know, firsthand, how time consuming it is to do all that conversion stuff. :notworthy:
I posted in your blog. I can use the US size 5 and 6 circular needles for the preemie blanket projects.
I called KnitPicks today, and the gal told me that I need to write a letter and send it snail mail. I’ll write one just as soon as I get done with my studies. I’m also going to have to write one to HL. I apologize for the delay, but I’ll probably write a better letter once I can focus.
Thank you VERY MUCH for your work on this, my friend. I am so busy organizing the projects, and posting updates, that I don’t have time to work on this kind of thing. Your help is MUCH appreciated!
Yesterday, I took 6 more packages to the post office, spending $22.79 to send them!
$3.92 “Angel Wings” Baby Blanket to Bethany
$5.95 2 Baby Blankets to Spikey
$3.92 “Fairy Dance” Baby Blanket to gmmarton
$3.24 “Moonlit Forest” Shawl to Abbily
$2.90 “Shades of Pale” Shawl to Suziehomemaker

:woot: I’m so excited I can hardly stand it! My dh is gone next week, I’ll have all sorts of time to shop and knit on Angel Wings!! YAY!!
I’m glad you’re excited, my friend!
Have a good weekend!
