Happy Cinco de Mayo Day!

And what a happy day it was as the mail brought me two more worsted weight blankets that are just waiting for their crocheted borders and finishing touches. Congratulations to all of our northeastern knitters and crochet folks who have been working so hard all year on our Northeast Oddball Baby Blankets. Whether you've contributed to the preemie collection or the worsted weight blankets (or even both!), please know that Spikey and I truly appreciate your creativity, time and energy in making our baby blanket project such a resounding success.
