ooh purple paradise! i think i have the perfect yarn for that…all i have to do now is search for a nice stitch pattern (and if you need me i’d love to work on the shamrock hills blanket…)
You’re in! 
Wonderful! You’re not hoggish…just GENEROUS! 
And you’re exactly right…light and airy.
Sparkle is fine, as long as the yarn is 100% acrylic. 
Thanks for being willing to work on both! 
So, now here is a [U]new[/U] report on ALL our blankets:
(I’ve removed “Crayola Box” until we hear what’s going on with it.)

I just updated our offsite blog about the blankets, and it looks nice with all the photos!
And here are instructions for our knitters:
http://oddballknitters.blogspot.com/
Add me to one and put me last… that way I can finish it up and deliver it…
These blankets are so cute!
sign me up for one of the new ones too! I’d love to do it. I love all the themes…all kinds of ideas come to mind when I read the names!
Sandy,
The Patriotic Party blanket looks great, I can’t wait to get it.
Did you use the Caron SS Dark Country Blue? I want to use the same color blue as you did.
JoAnn’s is having a sale and I want to stock up for this and future baby blankets.
Thanks.
Sandy-
I would love to be added to another blanket. By the time I get a second, I will be done on the first.
Thanks snowbear! I’ll put you last on the Shamrock Hills blanket, so there will hopefully be a green blanket at the hospital for St Patrick’s Day.
Thanks bethany! I’ll put you on the Shamrock blanket also, so we can get that one rolling! I think that greens and whites would be nice for that blanket.
Yes, that’s the color!
By the way, I received your donation to our project today.
Thank you SO much! 
Cool! I’ll start another blanket for you knitters across the pond! We’ll call this one “Purple Passion”. 
Wonderful! I’ll add you to the “Fairy Dance” blanket!
Thanks Karina! You’re on the list for “Purple Passion”.
So now, we need 3 more knitters for “Fairy Dance”, and 5 knitters for “Gorgeous Grapes”. And we need 2 more knitters in England for the “Purple Passion” blanket.
Shandeh,
Please add me to the end of one of the new ones too. These are fast knits, and I just love helping out with them.
BTW, I took Fruity Loops to the Post Office today. Losnana should have it by Wednesday or Thursday. I forgot to take it on my way to run errands, but I remembered when I saw the box as I walked in the door. I rushed to the PO, and got there as they were locking the door. Since it already had the label I’d done online, they didn’t mind taking it. :cheering:
BTW, you are such a blessing…organizing these. Thanks a bunch!!!
Thank you very much, Nathalie! 
You’re on the “Fairy Dance” blanket!
You are very welcome!
Thank YOU for all that you do to help others. 
I am happy to help on one of the new blankets as well, since Patriotic Party probably won’t get to me for a while.
ETA-Joann’s is having a sale:happydance: , so I’ve stocked up on Caron Simply Soft in purple and orchid, in case you want to put me on “Gorgeous Grapes” :teehee:
I can be added to another blankie or two. This should be fun!! I am sure they won’t arrive at the same time. BTW I love purple If you have room and wanna put me on a purple one, I would love it.
Yay! You’re on the “Gorgeous Grapes” list!
Another Gorgeous Grape-er! :teehee:
Thank you both for being willing to knit on more blankets.
Right now, we have 10 blankets filled with knitters! :cheering:
“Fairy Dance” still needs 2 more knitters, and “Gorgeous Grapes” needs 3 more.
Also, one of our knitters has asked to start a blanket for us. HollyP is casting on to start “Dreamy Blue”, which will be made with all blue yarns. :woohoo:
Shandeh - Go ahead and add me to where ever you think best. I’m going shopping this week to stock up on Caron’s Simply Soft too!
I’ll let you all know as soon as I receive the Patriotic Blanket!
Well, like purple, I love blue…not to be too greedy or anything, but…
If you need someone else on Dreamy Blue, please consider me.
Thanks!
Gail M.
The Mexican Fiesta blankie has arrived & it is lovely!
Can’t wait to add my part & send it on to the next knitter!
Do I just contact you for the addy, Sandy, when I’m done?
(newbie to this whole process
Karen G.
in GA
Thanks so much!
I’ve added you to the “Fairy Dance” blanket.
Done!
Exactly! Just let me know when you’re finished, and I’ll check with the next knitter to make sure they are ready.
Have fun! :cheering:
I’ll join the red and pink one if I can post to another UK person :oops: I can’t always afford US postage :oops:
