Or so the song goes here at school, when the children like to sing about "Fifty Nifty United States." I'd like to sing the praises of the Northeastern Oddball Knitters and your tireless efforts to knit both worsted weight and preemie blankets for the deserving little ones at Bridgeport Hospital and the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.
As it stands right now, we have another seven worsted weight blankets ready for delivery to the Pediatrics Unit at Bridgeport. Three more and we will hit "50," a landmark in only fifteen short months of working together as a group.
We do have a few blankets, however, with openings for knitters. Please consider helping us finish our newest blankets, Tranquility and Jack Frost. Just send me a PM on Ravelry or KnittingHelp.com if you are interested in helping.
