My section to knit was done in CSS mango using a zigzag stitch -- sort of like Tigger.

Disneyland with border -- using Bernat Satin in black. The border was inspired by Mickey's ears.

I'll try to get it in the mail to you Monday, Nathalie -- the confirmation number will be 0308 0730 0000 1537 3567

Hi all! I just wanted to give you some stats...just to encourage you...

To date, we've completed eight blankets. We still have 12 more out and about. Many of them are nearing completion as well.

We have about 20-22 active knitters in our group. This is actually quite a small number given that we started 20 blankets.

Y'all totally rock!! I know it's busy right now with the holidays fast approaching, so I find it even more incredible that you are still working on them.

Hang tough...we'll be breaking very shortly. Meanwhile, the babies who receive them are going to LOVE how warm they are under all that yarn and love.

Morning all...just letting you know that Lemonade Stand arrived on Saturday and I've been enjoying working on it. I'll post a picture when I'm done. and will let you know when I'm ready to send it on. Becky: Thanks for the blue boucle yarn...it's really pretty. I'm thinking of what I want to make out of it.
