Quickie Update

This project has grown so fantastically, that it has become too time consuming for me to manage alone.

The fabulous gmmarton will now be coordinating the worsted weight blankets for our project.

I will continue to coordinate the preemie blankets, and keep our blogs up to date as best I can.

Please also help us welcome a new group member from Ravelry, hamham!

Lists and pictures have been updated in the post below.

Best to all,
Spikey

Sunday is Fun Day

Greetings Northeasters!

I hope that all of you are staying warm on this dreadfully cold weekend.

We continue to make terrific progress with all of our blankets and have three new knitters in our group: kidpal51 (from KH), and katxena and sandycloset (from Ravelry). Welcome!

Since we last met, one blanket has been whooshed off to completed-land, and new ones are being added all the time. In fact, our fabulous gmmarton is starting FOUR, count 'em, four new blankets that need your talents (look for them at the bottom of the list)

Warm thoughts to all,
Spikey

Happy New Year! Happy New Blankets!

Happy New Year to everyone in our Northeast Knitter Family!

We've had several new completed blankets, and several new blankets started, thanks to our wonderful gmmarton (on a warm winter vacation), threesmom/justbeth, and MGM!

Northeast Rainbow II, New Year's Parade, Circus Circus, and Seaside Park are all looking for knitters. Check out their themes below.

Also, please help me welcome two new members, knitterluvspurls (rav) and colbysmimi (KH)!!!

Thanks to everyone for making 2008 such a success!

Love,
Spikey
