Thanks for the info Holly! I am going to stock up on some too!!
Hi Beth,
I’d be happy to help. We can arrange a hand off when you’ve finished your part.
I finished working on Rainbow Joy! I took it with me to Jacksonville and knit on it while I watched my daughter play a game. It was me and the dads, who watched my progress along with the game. One dad commented that it looked like a Jamaican blanket. :teehee:
I used Caron Simply Soft (Brites), “Limelight 9504.”
Here’s a picture:

:cheering: Yay! Thanks for offering! I have a just a bit more to do - I should be done with it in the next day or two. I’ll pm you when I’m done.
Rainbow is looking great!
Oh, and I’ve got some leftover brights, so if we still need knitters for Speed Racer, I can help out:mrgreen:
Sugar & Spice and Puppy Dog Tails are both ready for the next knitters!
I used Bernat Satin in Camel for both of them.
Rainbow Joy is a very happy blanket. Beauiful!
I received Berry Bliss this weekend and plan to get started on that as soon as I finish the preemie blanket that Shandeh sent me. I think I’m going to use a deep red for strawberry but I haven’t decided for sure yet.
Mary - Thanks so much for the yarn and bookmark. That litting sewing maching is so cool and it’s the perfect time of year to get started on my cotton projects!
Great! I’m going to change the name to “Sunshine Punch”, since we already have a “Citrus Punch” in the Preemie blankets.
I’ll check on the next knitters right now!
Pretty Princess arrived today! :cheering:
Lookie, lookie…

Thank you, traceleighj, for the beautiful tin of Peppermint Herbal tea! When I opened the package, the aroma was heavenly!!! What’s amazing is that it’s caffeine free. I do not drink caffeine, so this is perfect!

Ok, ladies, I almost thought it was my birthday today.
Not only did I receive Pretty Princess, but I also received Melon Medley! :happydance:
Thanks, Gail, for the yarn (Tahki Cotton Classic) and The Friday Night Knitting Club. It really did feel like Christmas as I opened the package!

Yesterday, I received a package that I was not expecting at all! The package I sent to Howdovely (formerly beekaync) was returned! :pout: (Silly me…I put the wrong address…:doh:)
So, I guess that means I still have to cast on “Pink Power”. :teehee:
I started last night, using a stitch pattern I found in one of my knitting books. I think it will work well. I would like for us to use bright pink, bright orange, and white for this blanket.
By the way, we still need knitters for a few new blankets:
“Fairy Land” - needs 2 more knitters
"Melon Medley" - needs 3
"Speed Racer" - needs 4
"Sunshine Punch" - needs 4
You are so welcome! I am suprised you got it today, I just mailed it on Saturday…
I LOVE that tea- and you can’t ever go wrong with caffeine free. The best part? You can’t even tell that it is.
hi all! the blankets are looking fantastic as always!
rainbow joy is great !
i might have to make one for myself someday… all those caron colors go together very nicely.
i got a late start on ocean waves so i decided to just go with garter. i should be done by friday.
the blog says jjminarcik is next so i’ll pm her and see if she is ready!
Sandy,
Can you add me to the list of knitters for “Speed Racer” please?
Thanks!
Gail
Great package…I have read that book it’s great x
If you still need more knitters. please add me to “Sunshine Punch” and “Speed Racer.”
Go ahead and throw me on another blanket. I don’t care which one. Whichever fits best
Kelly
Ditto for me - whichever one works or still needs a knitter.:mrgreen:
Sunshine Punch is almost done - I would have finished it last night if I hadn’t decided to frog a good bit of it. Just wasn’t loving the pattern. But it should be ready in the next few days, then off to Spikey.:cheering:
Oh, and Sunshine Punch is a great name - I thought Citrus Punch sounded familiar - I just couldn’t figure out why.
Please add me to the “Fairy Land” blanket. I can crochet and would be happy to do the finishing work if you put me last. (This goes for other blankets I am on as well if you still need help with any of those)
I’d like to be on “Speed Racer.”
Thanks!
