I’m thinking pinks, purples, and white’s…yeah…probably pastels. I can’t picture angels in reds and greens. :teehee:

Shandeh · February 10, 2008, 4:12pm

Yep…pastels. You’re on it!

Hey! What about CHRISTMAS angels?

auburnchick · February 10, 2008, 4:18pm

Shandeh · February 11, 2008, 9:32am

Catz · February 11, 2008, 10:49am

Ok, I’ll keep an eye out for it. I’m going to Newcastle for the weekend so I’ll take it up with me and work on it over the weekend.

Shandeh · February 11, 2008, 11:12am

Ha! NOW it makes sense! :teehee:

GiddyKnitter · February 12, 2008, 11:56am

I am ready and waiting patiently x

Shandeh · February 12, 2008, 12:03pm

Thank you, Pauline!
It looks like it will be a while before it gets there. I was mixed up when I posted that message. It’s going to Catz right now.

Also, I still have to get the “Angel Hugs” cast on.
(I’m casting on 8 blankets right now!) :teehee:

Shandeh · February 12, 2008, 12:07pm

Suziehomemaker just asked me a good question. She was asking which hospital we will be giving the blankets to.

Here is the website for Children’s Mercy Hospital, in Kansas City, MO.
http://www.childrensmercy.org/

I’ll post it in the first thread of our discussion as well.

auburnchick · February 12, 2008, 2:06pm

Shandeh, how are you doing in the way of postage $$? With that many blankets going out…

Shandeh · February 12, 2008, 6:03pm

Thanks for asking, auburnchick.

So far, I’ve used 84 dollars of the 220 I have received. So that means, I have 136 left to use for postage. I think I’ll be okay for a while.

Catz · February 13, 2008, 8:39am

I’ve received the sweethearts blanket today. I missed the postman so when I went into town I picked it up from the main office.

GiddyKnitter · February 13, 2008, 9:30am

You truly are an Angel I think I speak for everyone when I say Thankyou for all your hard work that you put into arranging all the lovely blankets I bet you are as tired as I am but I have a excuse I work nights!

MAmaDawn · February 13, 2008, 1:08pm

I totally agree… and I’m tired too, but that’s cuz I have 3 kids, one that wants to eat ALL NIGHT LONG… too bad I can’t nurse him and knit at the same time… :teehee::knitting:

GiddyKnitter · February 14, 2008, 6:34am

That’s no excuse mamadawn I am sure there must be a way to prop baby up for his feed and knit at the same time :roflhard:
Have your that saying “Where there’s a will there’s a way”

Shandeh · February 14, 2008, 11:55am

:roflhard:
Poor MAma Dawn…Pauline is jealous of your baby time.
She wants you to KNIT!
