On the Way to Kansas!

ElenTikvah completed her knitting, and now the blanket is on its way to knitwit628 in Kansas!
:D

Yippee!!! Our Blanket is Back in the USA!

Woo Hoo! Our blanket safely travelled back from Canada, and is now in the home of ElenTikvah in Wisconsin. :D

Travelling back from Canada to USA

Our blanket had a nice vacation in Canada, and is now on the way back to the USA to visit with ElenTikvah in Wisconsin.



Be careful with our blanket, postal people!

Safe Travels

So far, we've been lucky with this blanket. (knock on wood)

Our blanket survived the trip to Canada! Yippee!

On the Road to Canada!

Our blanket is now a certified international traveller, heading to Canada for a visit with MommaG!

Jeanius80's knitting!

It's Jeanius80's turn!

Jeanius80 just received the blanket, and is choosing her yarn and pattern now!

Visiting Washington State

Our 4th Oddball Blanket had a nice, sunny California vacation, and is now in Washington state, in the home of REVS.



REVS took this photo with her cellphone, because she doesn't have a digital camera available right now.

Out of Carolina, and On to California

Our NEW 4th Oddball Charity Blanket has completed its mini-tour of North Carolina, and is now travelling ALL the way across the nation to spend a little time with pandaca in California!



Shandeh used a vintage variegated yarn, and Lissalue used a solid blue yarn that works well with the other yarn. Silly us....we forgot to take a photo!

Hopefully, pandaca will take care of that for us!

Knit with LOTS of LOVE!!!

Last night, I set aside all my other knitting projects, and made the new beginning for our 4th Oddball Blanket a PRIORITY!

I made sure to knit with lots of love. :)

A New Beginning

Oh well....our blanket disappeared in the US Postal system. :(



Let's have a moment of silence for our deceased blanket.





OK.....let's dust ourselves off and start over!


I found some really cool variegated yarn in my stash, with a nice blend of purple, teal, and pink. The only circular needles I have available are size 10, so that's what we're stuck with.

Oddball Blanket - Ready to Travel Again

Beckyrhae did her portion on the Oddball Blanket, and is now ready to mail it to Pandaca in California.

Photos soon!

Secksiebrat just finished her knitting on the blanket, so our blanket is starting to look like....a BLANKET!


Here's a close-up view of her knitting. She used Caron yarn, in a dusty rose, and knit using a wave pattern.

Yippee Ki Yi Yay! Off to Texas We Go!

Oddball Blanket #4 had a FAST visit in Kansas with knitwit628.

Knitwit628 did a wonderful job, using some bright purple yarn!


Now, our blanket has to get ready to travel to Texas for some bonding time with Secksiebrat, then beckyrhae, and finally with stacy.duval.

Our 4th Blanket is safe in Kansas!

Yippee! Our blanket survived the trip through the US postal system, and has arrived in Kansas. Knitwit628 will now get to spend two weeks adding her knitting to the blanket.

I wonder what the weather is like in Kansas? I hope there are no tornadoes!!

BostonBecca's Knitting

Here is an updated view of our latest Oddball Blanket!


BostonBecca used KnitPicks Swish Superwash yarn in a nice mossy green shade.
Very nice!

ANOTHER Oddball Blanket!

Believe it or not, the members of the Knitting Help Forum are making ANOTHER Oddball Blanket. This will be our 4th blanket.

If you're wondering what an Oddball Blanket is, here's all the facts:
We cast on 300 stitches with a size 8 or 9 circular needle, using washable worsted weight yarn. Each knitter knits all the way across the row over and over again, until 3 inches of knitting has been done. When each knitter finishes their portion of the blanket, they mail it to the next person on the list.

Here is how the blanket will be traveling throughout the continent, beginning and ending with the blue square in North Carolina.


We are being creative, choosing different knitting stitches and different colors of yarn. It's neat to see what each person decides to do with the blanket when they receive it.

Also, sometimes we include extra gifts for the next knitter, just for fun.

OH! And we aren't just making the blanket for ourselves.
It will be given to charity when we finish.

So, without further ado, here is the beginning of our 4th blanket!
The first section was knit by Sandy in North Carolina.


Now, the blanket is traveling to BostonBecca in Massachusetts!
