Thank you, sandycloset, for the beautiful work you did on [B]Cupcakes[/B] and [B]It’s a Girl[/B]. I received both of them this morning. :yay: :yay: :yay:

I will add then to the pile of completed worsted weight blankets and photograph them this weekend.

Thanks!

I received two blankets from knittinginhudson this morning. [B]Dogwood[/B] has all the colors of the dogwood tree that blossoms here in southern CT in May. I can’t wait to work on the border of [B]Dogwood[/B] this weekend. It will be great to add it to our completed blanket pile for delivery to Bridgeport Hospital.

I also received [B]Confetti[/B], an Oddball preemie baby blanket.

Thank you for the gift card, knittinginhudson…I love Dunkin’ Donuts coffee! :muah: :muah: :muah:

I am starting a worsted weight blanket called [B]Surf and Sand[/B]. I was thinking it is the summer after all, and some in the group have found their way to the ocean. Why not a baby blanket that celebrates the ocean?

This blanket will be worked on a size 8, 110 stitches in blues, taupe and whites.

Please let me know if you are interested in working on this newest worsted weight blanket, [B]Surf and Sand[/B].

Thanks, everyone! :muah: :muah: :muah:
