Hi again everyone! Welcome to the blog for the wonderful new addition to Kyle and Courtney's family!
After the successes of the Wedding Blanket, Brynn's Baby Blanket, and Leah's Baby Blanket, we've decided to continue the tradition of "love blankets" (as Courtney and Kyle have dubbed them) and make a blanket to welcome Brynn and Leah's new sibling into the family. This blog is a place to share
and get information, post progress and pictures, and generally keep
informed about how things are progressing on this lovely, love-filled
project.
(The eagle-eyed among you will notice that this blog looks remarkably like Leah's Blanket Blog. That's because it is! Instead of creating a whole new blog, I'm just re-using this one. Part of the fate of the third child is to get hand-me-downs; here is the first one!)
So here's the low-down:
* We're making a Baby Blanket for the arrival of Kyle and Courtney's baby, due in May 2015.
* This blanket is not a secret; in fact, Courtney will likely be adding a square or two of her own! (And maybe Kyle will be too!)
* We need 42 squares.
* Squares can be knitted or crocheted, but should be about 6" (or 15cm) square.
* Squares must be made out of superwash wool. (This allows the blanket to be warm, washable, and relatively safe in case of fire. Check out the Yarn Harlot's post on this subject - scroll down a bit to just after her list.)
* Squares should be made in bright, vivid, rainbow colours.
* Squares should be sent to me, unblocked, by March 1, 2015.
I will take on the task of blocking the squares, assembling and sewing
them together, and knitting any extras which need to be done. If you
need my address, just send me an email and I'll pass it along.
If
you know of anyone who'd be interested in contributing, please pass
this blog site along. If you want to contribute to the blog, you can
email stuff (photos, stories, patterns, accomplishments, etc) to cherylATparsons-sheldrakeDOTcom
and I will post it on your behalf.
As always, I'm super
excited about this project! Feedback is always welcome. Thank you so much
for participating!
