Yay!!
You don’t want me crocheting borders. It would not be pretty.
Me + crochet hook = DOOM! 
Southeast US Oddball Baby Blankets
:teehee:
So glad to have you with us! Even if it’s not right away. I can’t crochet off of a chain, but I can on the blankets.
Here is a site that helped me learn… http://www.nexstitch.com/v_single_crochet.html
Ha Ha ha! That’s funny!
haha, i peeked at that site, and now i’m hooked!!! ugh!!! I don’t have time to learn something else. man, i guess I need to give up sleep…
If you figure out how to do that let me know… I could use that time…
August will be here before we know it. Do we need to be getting a list together of blanket names/themes and a list of knitters that will be working on them? Just curious!
I actually came up with some more today… Post any ideas you guys have as you have them, even if we can’t start them right then, I’ll add them to the spreadsheet I’m keeping so we can make sure we do them.
Autumn Leaves
Little Boy Blue
Little Bo Peep
Cupcakes
Pudding (Or since we are the south, we could say puddin’ :teehee:)
Are we getting needles from Shandeh or will we be providing the needles?
I have a few, you can use ones you have if you want, and Shandeh is sending me some, so I can send needles anyone who needs them. just let me know what size you would prefer.
Does anyone know how to make the buttons?
I love puddin’ :teehee:
blanket ideas I’ve had:
M&Ms
Smurfy
Lucky Charms
Primary colors
the patriotic ones were very cool
diagonal rainbow - a big granny’s favorite dishcloth
Camo
the neon one have been great too
spring in the garden
birds
fruit salad
crayons
ocean I would love to do a ocean themed one with feather and fan pattern throughout. I’m pretty sure they did a preemie blanket like this and it was gorgeous
Finding Nemo
Little Mermaid
Sunset
Those are GREAT ideas! I have them all listed. I was just thinking that we could chose about 3 after everyone who has ideas puts them out there. To start with… :teehee:
HollyP… those are great ideas. I thought of the M&M’s too. :teehee: Here are a few others:
Tip-Toe in the Tulips
Blue Sky
Skittles
Banana Split
Splish Slash
Lemon Drops & Gum Drops
I can’t wait to get started!
We seem to have a lot of food related ones. What does that say about us in the south east?:teehee:
You guys are making me hungry! :teehee:
I love all the names you’re coming up with. 
These are GREAT! Love how many we are getting! I was a little worried about coming up with enough names, but boy we are not going to run into problems anytime soon with all these great names… and it very funny how many are tied to food, and sweets at that! :teehee:
I asked over in the OT board for help making a button for us. I know we have a ton of talented button designers. Hopefully we’ll have a button soonCrossed Fingers!
I found a needle we can use while cleaning out my couch last night! So far I have 4 (3 from other blankets I have finished) we can use. I’ll look more closely through my needles tonight when I get home from school. I’m sure I have more.
Great idea about asking in the OT board. It might get some others looking here too.
And that’s great about finding the needles.
Would you each like to start one of the blankets ideas you had?
I’m going to double check who I have that has sent me a pm or signed up here and send messages out to everyone else.
I’ll post the list here and then add it to our blog.
Who I have currently is:
LBECK, Moxiemade, kayrun, Howdovely, kellybigeyes, HollyP, misha rf, Shandeh, losnana, doodknitwit and myself.
Crocheters LBECK, Shandeh, HollyP, myself and I have 2 friends that maybe joining us. One will knit and crochet on the blankets and one will just be crocheting.
I hope I’m not leaving anyone out… But we are starting off with 11! That’s awesome! 
Howdovely, should I put you down as crocheting? Have you been working on that instead of sleeping yet? :teehee:
Dawn I would love to start one(or 4:teehee:)!
