We Are Thankful...

Thankful for the recent huge delivery of twenty-five (25) preemie blankets by Spikey to CHOP...

Thankful for the ten (10) newest worsted weight blankets delivered to Bridgeport Hospital on December 6th...

Thankful to all who remain committed to the Northeast Regional Group of Oddball Baby Blanket Knitters...

We have done so much for so many. Your tireless efforts to improve the quality of life for the little ones has not gone unnoticed!

Many more blankets are on the needles! Our newest worsted weight blanket, Stars & Stripes, done in red, white and blue, is already 50% complete. In addition, we are launching three other blankets, Ladybug, Iris and Holiday Happiness. And, during my December break in sunny Florida, I will begin a few new worsted weight blankets.  Watch for more information about Circus Circus II, Be Mine, Jelly BelliesAtlantic Waves, and Spearmint Candy.  Volunteers are always needed to help complete our blankets so watch for posts on this Blog, Ravelry or KnittingHelp.com.
