Good Morning All!

Dimpledapple asked for a list of our current blankets and knitters for each.

We have five blankets in the works and making the rounds

Tranquility: pinnut3200, krismorales, stisdale, dimpledapple, AshleyP, and mhansen.

Orange Sherbert: stisdale, dimpledapple, pinnut3200, nostash2big, bailchri, peattieWa, and purlingkitten.

Jelly Bean: peattieWa, pinnut3200, stisdale, nostash2big, krismorales, bailcri, and nannaknits.

Pinkalicious: AshleyP, stagecrafty, pinnut3200, grannydani, krismorales, nostash2big and purlingkitten

Jack Frost: nostash2big, pinnut3200, dimpledapple and krismorales.
We have 2 available sections and a border to be filled on this one.

I'd be happy to work on Jack Frost if there are still open spaces!

Also, can we write on the information sheets of the blankets what type of yarn we need to use (or if it's a premie or regular baby blanket)? I know of a couple last go around where there was confusion and they were done in different types of yarn. Also, if it's written on the info sheet we don't have to search back through the forum to see what type it's suppose to be.

I have some needles from a blanket I finished and I'd be happy to start a blanket on them. I'll post once I've done so and we can get a list going. Should I wait until one of these current blankets is completed? I'm not sure how many are too many to have going at once - I'd say the more the merrier though that's just my opinion!

Jelly Bean arrived yesterday, and I worked on my section last night.

It will be ready for the next knitter today, so I need the mailing address of stisdale if she is still the next knitter.

I'll post a photo sometime today.

Jelly Bean is ready for the next knitter.

It's great to see Jelly Bean. It looks so cheerful. I'm excited to get knitting on the new blankets.

Jelly Bean is so fun! Is it to be knit in a specific stitch? In the picture, all of the sections look the same, but it could just be the picture. Just curious if I need to practice anything for when my turn on jelly bean comes around!

Thanks!

No need to practice any stitches. Jelly Bean came to me and was knit in all garter stitch, so I knit my section in garter stitch, too.

Orange Sherbert and Tranquility are both on their way to dimpledapple. Hopefully I'll put up some pictures real soon. I had some multi-color yarn I was planning on using for jelly bean but it looks like everyone's been using a solid color... I don't want to throw off the look of things... what do you guys think?

Orange Sherbet and Tranquility arrived yesterday. Thanks for the lovely gift, Sarah! I'll get on them right away
