Sadly right now there are 3 blankets that are missing in action - Snowman, Purplepalooza and Down By the Seashore.  The blankets are in varying stages of completion, but it is never fun to lose all of our hard work.   The story is they were mailed out to me (ckcrochicknitter) when the knitter left the group, but I was never made aware that they are on the way.  The knitter also neglected to keep any kind of tracking number or record of the address it was mailed to.  

Not counting the 3 blankets that are missing in action - we have 40 blankets in progress.  Lets keep up the good work ladies!!

Twenty-one completed blankets!!

The numbers are growing!! 21 completed worsted weight blankets as of today - April 19, 2013.

So many blankets!

We are making AMAZING progress towards our goal of 100 completed blankets for 2013!!

As of today there are 13 completed worsted weight blankets and 2 completed DK weight blankets.  So we are on a roll!

Due to the number of blankets and hamham continuing to heal from her injury, I will temporarily be accepting both the completed DK weight blankets and the Worsted Weight blankets to get them ready for delivery.

If there is anyone interested in accepting the worsted weight blankets to get them ready for distribution, I would be happy to share the load.  It is a big job to accept them, which includes washing the blankets so they are free from any odors or hair.  Loose ends also need to be woven in and the person that receives the blankets needs to go through and check that there are no loose stitches or stitches that have been missed and make any necessary repairs.  If anyone is up for the challenge I am happy to share, if not I have no problem keeping things going.

You all do such an AMAZING job making these Oddball blankets into works of art!
