Thank goodness for TIVO! That's all I can say!

I noticed that some of the blankets I am listed on for "border patrol" still are looking for knitters. You can put me in as the last knitter (or two) if necessary. If you don't get volunteers for the last sections when it is time for those blankets to move on, just send them to me and I'll finish the knitting and do the borders.

Can't wait to get my hands on the next blanket!

Thanks for your kind offer, MGM! I'll tentatively put you as the last knitter on those blankets, as well, and let you know if we need you.
