March Madness Continues...

Here in Connecticut, March Madness continues! I have to apologize for not updating the worsted weight segment of our Blog sooner. I actually worked on this last week and wound up deleting everything I did! Oh dear...the computer gods and goddesses weren't with me that night! Here's hoping they are with our UCONN men and women.

These are the Northeast Oddball Worsted Weight Baby Blankets currently in circulation: (please note that NE Rainbow II, Candy Canes and Vanilla Creme are no longer listed in this Post).

In Like a Lion

Hi Northeasters!

Sorry to be so delayed in posting. After an extended business trip, I've now got a nasty cold. As long as I can type and cough at the same time, I can get the blogs updated, at least!

Some amazing progress has been made on the worsted weight blankets, with many older blankets finished, and many new ones started.

We got a little snow overnight, but are scheduled for "8 to 14 inches" tonight - a real Nor'easter!

Stay safe and warm everyone!
