Oddball Baby Blankets - SOFT, Worsted Weight Yarn

I love Fairy Dance and Loving Hearts!!! Great job!

ah! Great job! And see? Now you taught me too! Make sure you tell him that! :wink:

I got Mexican Fiesta yesterday! Woohoo!!! Thanks so much for the lovely yarn :), Robin! I’ll get started on it tomorrow probably. I’ve got to get out and get some yummy yarn for it and I’d rather wait until I have at least one kid away and only have 2 to shop with…(Friday’s a preschool day!)

Me too! I think it is HILARIOUS! :lol: I feel the same way when I see the “Sara Lee Underwear” factory in Asheboro. I can’t see how it’s possible for a company to make both cakes and underwear. :teehee:

You GO girl! :woohoo:
(and here I just wasted my time re-posting your original photo post. I should have read the entire page before doing that.) :doh:

Today, I received the “Angel Wings” baby blanket from mom2hancj. (I didn’t get to work on that one yet.) :slight_smile:

She sent along some goodies just for me! :woohoo:
A skein of 100% wool yarn and a bar of handmade soap, along with a pattern to make a “Soap Sweater”.
A tiny potpourri melting tart.
A set of circular needles for our charity knitting projects.
And a skein of Homespun. (Cool! I was just thinking of making another “Cushy Baby Blanket”!)

Oh wow…the blankets are so pretty! :inlove:

I didn’t know about the Sara Lee underwear…I imagine them coming in different sizing, like “I eat one pound cake a week”, “I eat one pound cake and one pie a week” on the labels instead of “size 6 bikini!” hah!

I ended up with a bright green…Caron Simply Soft “Limelight”. (I was hoping to get some Vanna’s Choice since it was on sale, but they didn’t have any bright colors! I guess Vanna is more into earth tones.)

I will try to post some pics this weekend, but no promises… my computer got messed up and I had to wipe out the hard disk and start from scratch, and I’m still re-installing stuff piece by piece.

:roflhard:

You poor thing! :pout:

Do you have the lists for the next set of blankets already made? I have 2 colors that will be great on the jewelry box one. And I’m getting red yarn this weekend, do you want me to start the “Fire truck lane” or “Jewelry Box” (you come up with the best names!!! )

Thanks MAmaDawn! I don’t have a list of knitters for either one yet, but you’re more than welcome to start the one of your choice. You can send it to me if you want, and I’ll be the 2nd knitter. :slight_smile:

Thanks for the compliment on naming the blankets. I just try to remember the things my kids liked when they were little, or I notice what my young piano students like. And the blanket names just start flowing from my little brain. :teehee:

I would love to knit on the firetruck one…my dh is a volunteer firefigther and my boys rooms are decorated in firetrucks with a firetruck bed and all. That blankie would be a fun one and make some litlte boy VERY happy.

While I was sick, I was able to get a lot of knitting done. Maybe I should get sick more often? :think:

Just kidding. :wink:

Here is the beginning of the “Fairy Dance” blanket, ready to go to gmmarton!

And I added my knitting to the “Angel Wings” blanket! Who wants to work on that blanket now? (We need 3 more knitters for this one.)

Sandy,

Do you ever sleep? I’ve seen postings at 5:00 am, 3:00 am, midnight, etc., etc. Whoa! You’re a woman on a Mission!!!

I’m ready for the Fairy Dance blanket anytime you want to send it. I’ll be out on vacation as of Friday night, February 15th, so you can send the blanket to my address in Stratford rather than at school in Fairfield. But I will pm you in a moment just in case.

Thanks!

Gail

Both those blankets look great!!

LOL @ her posting at all hours. I would never post at 5:47 am…ewww that hour scares me.

I hear ya on the sick thing…when we were all sick, I got a TON of knitting done. Hope you feel better.

I’ll knit on the angel wings blanket if you want me Shandeh!

I’m a few inches into Mexican Fiesta so go ahead and stick me in another one!

:teehee: I’m a night owl. I usually stay up every night until about 3 or 4 AM, and sleep until noon. Then, I teach piano lessons from 3 PM until about 8 PM. I was wired to be a musician. :wink:

Thanks Gail! :hug: I’ll send it out this week. :thumbsup:

Thanks bethany! :hug: I’ll send it the same time as I send the others. :slight_smile:

Woo Hoo! Thanks! :hug: I’ll put you after bethany on the Angel Wings blanket. :woohoo:

Now, we just need one more knitter on the “Angel Wings”!

Am I on the list for Angel Wings? I can’t remember. If not, please feel free to add me (near the end, please). I’m on the tail end of classes…three more weeks…so I know I’ll be ready to do some heavy duty knitting when I’m done.

Hey…don’t know if you want to do this, but an idea…

I’m so lost as to which blanket I’m set to work on. Can you post the spreadsheet you have…or maybe a list that stays updated? That way it’s easy to see where each blanket is and how far on the list we are?

You’re on the list for the “Fairy Dance” blanket. But, I can add you to “Angel Wings” also if you want. Just say the word. :wink:

I can’t post the spreadsheet, since it contains private information, but I will make a list on our blog, and let you all know when it’s ready.
