Welcome to Year Two!

As we begin our second year as the Northeast Regional Oddball Knitters, I remain humbled by the support shown for the little ones of Bridgeport Hospital's Pediatrics Unit and the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Congratulations to all who have helped us support the families of the greater Bridgeport and Philadelphia regions.

We have a number of worsted weight Oddball Baby Blankets nearing completion and a few new blankets in the works. There are openings on Sunny Days, Sunflowers, and Mickey Mouse, and our two newest blankets, Falling Leaves and Pretty Purples. Please send me a PM on Ravelry or KnittingHelp.com if you are interested in helping.

Eight is Great: The Latest Completed Worsted Weight Baby Blankets!

Yes, it's true! We've completed another eight worsted weight oddball baby blankets for the dear little ones at Bridgeport Hospital in Bridgeport, CT.

Our latest eight baby blankets, set for delivery this week, include:

Tropical Plantation (created by gmmarton, missyjoon, hamham, knead2knit, colbysmimi and gmmarton)

Sherbert (created by gmmarton, missyjoon, hamham, knitterluvspurls, justbeth, and MGM)

Neon Fun (created by Spikey, hamham, knittinginhudson, SuzieHomeMaker, colbysmimi, and gmmarton)

It's a Girl (created by gmmarton, knitterluvspurls, hamham, justbeth, knitterluvspurls and sandycloset)

Many, many thanks to all of you who have come together for the purpose of co-creating these beautiful baby blankets. I look forward to delivering them to the good folks at the Pediatrics Unit of Bridgeport Hospital.
