Thanks!! I am so excited to help out!! My daughter was born 10 weeks premature in May of 2006 and I have wanted to do something to give back to other parents some of the love and support that we received during our time in the NICU. Today she is a healthy and active 2 year old - you would never know to look at her that she was premature!

I am a new knitter and I was overwhelmed at the idea of making a whole blanket, so I am really excited to work with you ladies!!! I can't wait to get my first blanket to work on!!

Thanks!!
Amanda

Welcome MrsP! Glad to have you aboard. This is sooo much fun. I remember waiting on my first blanket. I was so anxious I could hardly stand it.

Hi Amanda! I have only been knitting for 3 months, so I am still pretty new at this myself. I have started working on a couple of things in the round, but haven't finished any of them yet. Knitting on a baby blanket should be perfect for the both of us because doing one section doesn't seem as intimidating to me. Welcome to our fun little group!

Welcome, Amanda!

Thanks! You are right, I can't wait to get started on my part of the blankets!! I have been working on a couple of the mini stockings for the troops, but they are kind of slow going for me - I am not using the pattern that they gave because I have never knit anything in the round, so I found a pattern to do them flat. And, I am really excited to work on the blanket - I hope that it will give me the confidence to try one on my own! :-)

I am sure it will. I have done so many things since I joined this group that I don't think I would have even attempted if I hadn't joined them. This is really a good group of people if you need help they are ALWAYS willing to help. And in other parts of this forum too.

Hi Ladies!! I haven't had time to read through the whole thread yet, so forgive me if it is posted in there somewhere! I saw on the blog that there is a list printed for Jelly Bellies - which is awesome because now I know I long I have to wait!!

I was just wondering what the list of knitters looked like for the Camo blankie? Not that I am rushing anyone!

Thanks!!!

Amanda
