M&M Blanket

I have completed my portion of another baby blanket for the Knitting Help Forum that I am a part of. We have recently divided into regions, because the group was getting too large for one person to handle. I was lucky enough to be able to actually start a blanket this time. The name of my blanket is the M&M Blanket. Taken from the beloved treat... M&M's. Every knitter will knit one color from the original M&M bag, red, yellow, green, blue, orange, brown. My color was red. Here are a couple pictures...

We have to include a card with every blanket, but it can't include messages such as "Get Well" and the like. Because some of the recipients of these blankets do not get well. I could not find a blank card that I liked, so I made my own with an M&M theme. I hope you like it!!

Salt Water Taffy

I have finished another baby blanket for charity for the KH Forum I am a part of. This one was called Salt Water Taffy. Here is a picture before:

Here is a picture after I added my section.

Here is a closeup of my portion.

I mailed it off today to the next knitter. I included some handmade stitch markers (that I made myself) **patting myself on the back** :) Here is a picture of some that I have made:

Another Finished Blanket

I have finished another blanket for the knitting forum that I have joined. The name of this one is called Lavender's Green. Here is a before picture:

And here is a picture after I finished my portion:

I am also making alot of progress on the book that I am reading. I only have about 50 pages left. Hopefully I can finish it in the next few days.

Knitting Project and New Book

I have completed my first knitting project for the forum that I joined. You can view one of the blogs here. The blanket that I just completed is called "Sunny Days". Here is a picture before:

And here is a picture after I added my pretty blue yarn:

The little book that you see is a small journal. When each knitter completes their part of the blanket, they are to sign their name and write a small note. It feels great to have helped with a project like this. These blankets are for charity and are donated to hospitals. I am expecting my second blanket in the mail at the beginning of the week. I will keep you updated.

I have also chosen the next book that I will be reading. It is called Don't Bet against Me!: Beating the Odds Against Breast Cancer and in Life. It is written by Deanna Favre, the wife of the Green Bay Packer's Quarterback, Brett Favre. So far, it is a great book.

New Project

I couldn't wait for the mail to arrive today!! As I said in my last post, I have joined a group that knits baby blankets for charity. I received my first project today. I will be working the next 4 inches of the "Sunny Days" blanket. I am so excited!!! I will keep you posted on my progress.
