[B]Puppy Love[/B], an Oddball Blanket for the [I]Snuggles Project[/I], is ready for the next knitter. If ready, please let me know, and I will mail it out this weekend. Thanks!
Thanks, my friend! 
Feel free to start another blanket for us anytime you want. Just let us know when it’s ready to go, and we’ll get a group of knitters signed up for it! 
Using size 10 or 10 1/2 needles, cast on about 70 stitches. Then knit for 4 inches. Give your snuggle a name, print out the instruction sheet and greeting card to include with the package, and sign the card with your name and state.
I’ve attached the instruction sheet and greeting card here!
Feel free to add me if you need another knitter… 
I think that mamapaulsel is next…then ME! It’s my first one and I’m excited that it’s almost my turn.:woot:
:knitting:
Did you get a picture yet?
I’m glad that you’re excited! 
That is the plan. I’m waiting to hear back from mamapaulsel, to see if she’s ready for the snuggle to come to her place.
I took a photo of [B]Puppy Love[/B] this morning; however, I haven’t posted it yet because my camera’s battery was very low. Once the camera is charged I will post the photo.
I must admit, I rather enjoyed knitting in cotton yarn for an Oddball Blanket. I’ve got quite a lot of cotton around, so I will check my stash and circular needles and see about starting up another [I]Snuggles[/I] Blanket.
Thanks again Sandy for this making this [I]Snuggles Project [/I]happen. 
Here is the photo of Puppy Love, the Snuggles blanket that was mailed out this morning.
Paws & Claws went out today. Confirmation # 03080660000029483001.
Puppy Love is looking great! I love that pink.
Love it! 
Here’s [B]Kitty Cuddles[/B], with Mikey. [I](I couldn’t resist)[/I] 
Beautiful photo! 
I thought I would make a post about where I plan to donate my pet snuggle when the time comes for me to finish a blanket. I also though if others were unsure of a place to donate it, I would make a recommendation. Please don’t feel obligated to donate to this organization it’s just a suggestion as sometimes it’s not always easy to figure out where you’d like to send your knitted gift!
www.bestfriends.org . They are a wonderful organization that helps to take care of animals, even unwanted ones. They have actually taken in all the pit bulls that were taken from Michael Vick’s home in Virginia. They will have forever homes there if they are not adoptable. I also emailed the donation cordinator and she said they would be happy to accept our blankets (I wanted to be sure since blankets weren’t on their wish list).
So if you’re unsure or scoping out places to donate, you may consider this organization! I am making up some knitted catnip toys (thank you Shandeh for the pattern/idea) to send with my knitted blanket when my time comes!

I received Paws and Claws yesterday! I started working on it already in navy and hunter green. My husband asked why I wasn’t using white with another color like everyone else :shrug:. Silly men! It should be on it’s way in a few days!!

Danielle, I’ve made you the last knitter on “Forever Friend”, so you can donate that one! 
Thank you Sandy! I look forward to knitting and donating that blanket to Best Friends!

I received Forever Friend from my new BFF Sandy 
and am picking out colors from my stash. I’ll be knitting on it tonight and am excited about this project. And probably 99% of the time when I knit I have my cat Meeko on my lap and my golden retriever Joe at my feet. Somehow that seems so fitting doesn’t it???

[B]Puppy Love[/B] left southern CT today and is headed to the southwest. Delivery Confirmation #: 0306 0320 0001 5128 3279.
Mulderknitter, are you still casting on a new snuggle?
Just let me know when you’re ready, because I have two knitters ready to knit after you: misha rf, and kellyh57
You’ll still need 3 more knitters for that snuggle.
Also, I’m going to cast on [U]four[/U] more snuggles in the next two months. They will have a “Royalty” theme, since so many animals have a kingly or queenly attitude. :teehee:
Her Highness - pink, red, purple
Sweet Princess - pink
His Majesty - blue, purple
My Prince - blue
I will probably wait until January to mail these out, so we can all concentrate on our holiday knitting.
