The Worsted Weight Update

Sorry I've been so delinquent about updating our Worsted Weight Blankets Blog. I thought things would slow down a bit this summer, but the Northeast Regional knitters (and crochet folks, too) have proved me wrong! New blankets are started almost every week and there seems to be no limit to the creativity of our crafters.

Here's the latest update, with information on completed blankets (since Memorial Day), works in progress, and two new blankets, both of which still need knitters.

Completed and ready for delivery to Bridgeport Hospital:

Neon Fun
Sherbert
Tropical Plantation
April Showers
It's a Boy!

Completed and in the mail to gmmarton...

Cupcakes
It's a Girl
