Southeast US Oddball Baby Blankets

Well… Thank you so much. I really appreciate it!!:muah: I will be looking for it. Oh by the way… did you hear anything about “Sugar and Spice”? Just let me know. Thanks again for the yarn.

You’re very welcome! :hug:

“Sugar & Spice” is MIA right now. I’ve contacted the last knitter several times over the past few months, with no response. I’ll send a postcard this weekend. (Please don’t ask who it is, because I prefer to keep these situations private.)

Glad you are getting some yarn… I thought that someone would have some. What I do for buying yarn online is I don’t buy just one skien. I look at what they have a just add a few to my stash. Also when I’m ordering some for other projects (like Christmas and such) I look for some that I think will be good for the oddball blankets.

Was it Red Heart Super Saver? I don’t like that one either. Have you tried Red Heart Soft yarn? HUGE difference if not.

And Sandy thank you!

Oh and about the stitch, we can use something else. There wasn’t one that I thought of over the others. And I don’t want to do one that you don’t like. What about this Stitch?

i really like the first one. But they are all very cute and I will use which ever one is chosen. I will have to have help on how to get them on there I think I have forgotten how to do that.lol

I would like to do yellow, but if you already have someone for that I would do brown.

It was Red Heart Super Saver… it is not soft at all. I went ahead and bought it, but now that Sandy (Thanks!!) has been so kind to send me some wonderful Caron SS… I will be taking it back. I don’t like the feel of it on my skin and I sure hate to make a blanket with it that will be touching a baby’s skin.

That is a great idea about buying extra yarn. Since I have only been knitting since Oct of 07, I haven’t built up a stash yet. I just buy exactly what I need. I’m sure that will eventually change. :teehee:

I am using a really pretty stitch on a blanket right now. It is in the Knit and Purl book. It is called the Alternated Smooth Stitch and Tier. I tried to find a link but I couldn’t. It is a simple 4 row repeat. 1-K, 2-P, 3-K, 4-K. I really like it and it’s really easy.

Sometimes, depending on the pattern… I have problems remembering to bring my yarn to the front when purling. I am still not very good at going back and fixing my mistakes either.:shrug:

LBECK… did you notice the most recent one. It is in a different post than the 4 pics. It is a baby in a cradle with a blue background. Check for that one if you haven’t seen it yet. It is great!!

Oh boy… you have no idea how much that will change… be prepared… it’s scarey. My yarn, and I’m sure it’s just mine, multiplies when I’m not looking. Really.

If no one else wants it I will take brown for M&Ms that way it is already here to be donated when done. I’d also love to do a border.
I was thinking( and I might be in the minority) that maybe we could let everyone choose their own pattern for this one since the colors are already assigned. I don’t mind doing a set pattern though if that is what everyone else wants!

Shandeh, have you sent the yarn to Kelly yet? Because I am about to send her a needle and I have plenty of red to share! Let me know!

Kelly, www.joann.comhas SS on sale all the time. I know it’s on sale now! I think they also have free shipping when you spend x amount of money.

Momwolf, thanks again for the buttons. They are all amazing!!!:woot:

I forgot to post this a minute ago! I talked the coordinator again today and got the clarification we were looking for. The blankets can have yellow and green. She suggested just not starting or ending with them. That shouldn’t be too hard!

Hey HollyP…I am ok with everyone doing their own pattern also, if that’s ok with everyone else. What color border did you have in mind for the blanket? Thanks for the tip about joann. I’ll have to check that out. You and Sandy can decide who is sending the yarn. :wink:

I meant to ask the other day… what pattern do you have picked out for Atlantic Waves? Just curious!

Can HollyP or someone tell me how where I can get the button for the SE. I want the one that HollyP has. I know how to add it… I just don’t know where to go to get it?

Thanks

Page 8

What about page 8?:shrug:

Go to page 8 of SE and the button of the cradle is there for you to use.
Just click on it and save it to your computer.

HollyP, as I said on my private message to you, you are more than welcome to send the red yarn to Kelly in the package with the needles. Thanks so much! :hug:

I’ll be sending some Caron Simply Soft yarn to MAmaDawn for our region. I’ll also include some other soft yarns.
:thumbsup:

Yes, I noticed that it had changed and I still like it the best. Are we using that one or is everyone just using the one they want to use?

I got it from page 2 of this thread.

Thanks Shandeh! I did get your Pm. I decided to Pm after I posted to make sure you saw it. Sorry for the duplication.

Lisa (LBECK)- I wasn’t sure if we were all doing the same or choosing our own. So I decided to take one and if everyone else decided on a different one I would change it. I just was really excited to put our button up!!!

Here is a link to the Feather and Fan pattern in case anyone else is interested.

I tried to copy it from the attachment, but I couldn’t. I did highlight it and copied it from under HollyP’s name… I saved it to the computer, but when I tried to add it. It told me that it was too big. PLEASE help. This is driving me crazy!!:hair:

Got you down for Yellow

Yes I’m sure your stash will grow! And We can help you if you need it, just let us know. And uf you are getting yo’s when you don’t want them, you can drop them off the next row and just knit or purl the next stitch a little tighter. That will pull the slack up. That pattern sounds similar to one I have used.

Thanks for sending her yarn, Holly. And I have you down for the brown section.

That’s great, thanks for getting that cleared up!

You can also use the one in her signature.

Thank you Shandeh! I’m looking forward to getting it!

I think it will be cute to have different ones. The one you pick may catch someone’s attention that the one I pick won’t. May get more people coming over. What’s everyone else thoughts?

It’s on my page 2, also. I have it set to have the max amount of posts per page. That’s what make the difference.

Shandeh, thank you for telling us about the Quote+ thing. I was very happy to be able to use that this time!
