All the baby blankets !

By -



The light was good in my room yesterday so I just laid them all out. We had enough for a queen size blanket and more!

I hope you see your blanket in the images. They were all so soft. Two quilts were included! One quilt was made by a 14 year old girl. He first quilt and she sent it in!

These will be getting to our unit this week. Know that they will be used and appreciated.

Thanks!
I'll talk to you in the comments. :)

They are all so beautiful and I can't think of a better thing for a 14 year old girl to be doing than quilting a preemie blankie. Aren't kids wonderful!!

The book arrived and I want to make everything in it. I am starting with the Fair Isle stocking cap--for me! Thanks I love it.

It was a joy to knit these little blankets, and I hope that you will request them again soon. They take such a small amount of yarn and are quick to knit.

They all look so soft and cuddly -- I hope they bring comfort to someone. It was a pleasure to be involved in this worthy endeavor. Please let me know when there is a need again.

Thanks for reminding us to keep up with charity knitting. This was such an easy thing to do and not too time consuming. As a former NICU nurse, I should have thought about this before. Thanks for the reminder!

We had a little stillborn 2 weeks ago, and I would like to tell you that I was so grateful when the nurse let my husband pick out baby clothes and a beautiful purple knit blanket for our daughter. Of of these items had been made by volunteers. It's a wonderful service that really does provide a measure of comfort when it seems like the world is coming to an end.

I see mine! :-) I love that a 14 year old girl made her first quilt for the project. I really enjoyed making the blanket. I've got another one made, if you could still use it...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's their boy.  Insufficient inf

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I have been knitting, but not making things.  6. MY gardens are growing.  I have 3 main areas I
