Charity blitz 2007 See totals Post #2

[SnoPeach]

I'm guessing it's not too late to join the blitz?? I'm already up to 4 hats and am working on a blanket and a bear for January...

 

JimmieLu: thanks so much for coordinating this -> you're an inspiration

 

TraceyLeigh: does it matter if some articles are cotton and some are synthetic? I've got a mix, and will be sure to wash them all before I send them (especially the cotton ones so they'll soften).

I have several premie hats and have started a baby blanket to be sent for January. I see some people are making IV covers. is there a pattern for that? Can you give me the link?

[PipsSqueakk]

This pattern is for a childs IV cover... there are a lot of great charity patterns on this site... It is the one I use the most

TraceyLeigh, can you pm me with the address to mail my items to you? Thanks!

[Jimmie Lu]

Welcome newbie blitzers

It is never too late to join (unless you died)

Tracy is away so if she doesnt answer right away dont be worried. PM me for addy.

[hseger]

Ok, I've got my Jan. stuff ready to ship. JimmieLu did you want us to post in here how many of what we are sending in for a count or just pm you with the total? My count is in my signature.

[Vickietoria]

Quick question... When do we need to send the items for January? I remember here somewhere there being a date, but I can't find it now... Perhaps it could be updated in the first post? Thanks!

Thanks Pips I can start making some of those today

 

PS--I like your name PipsSqueak<-- thats what my BIG brother called me when I was little

I made a bereavement blanket for feb. I finished my Jan. items already. Here it is. It's just a shell stitch with a triple picot border. It is tiny at 15". I will make the rest bigger. It really was such a humble experience making this. My best friend and her husband lost a baby last April. I may make a memory blanket for her.

 

 

 

Here's the link for the shell stitch pattern, just scroll down to "Shell Stitch" You have to start with a longer chain. http://www.warmupamerica.org/patterns.html

Sarah, that is beautiful!!!! I love the softness of the lavender with the white...

[heart]

Praise the Lord Jesus! Thank you Lea!!!

[darski]

Ok, I have never done this before so I need some help.

 

...I will need an addy to send my items because i can't find anything at Sick Kids site to tell me.

 

...I thought that January meant that we had the month of January to make stuff. if this is not the case, could someone tell me the rules for this.

[heart]

Darski, I believe you're right. I've just jumped ahead a little. I didn't have any thing else to work on, except for my yo-yo ghan. Untill I buy more yarn. Sorry to confuse you.

[Jimmie Lu]

Darski yes you have the whole month to do items and we ask you to send by the last day of the month. I had stated to try to do at least 10 items(prayershawls are an exception unless you are fast lol) you pick one day a month (mine is Sunday) and all you crochet that day is charity blitz stuff(we dont check and send the ville police after you) when you send the items drop me a PM as I am trying to keep a count of what we all blitz this year!

I will PM you the address fior Jan

[darski]

thank you for the info. I could go with whatever the rules are just needed to know them

[Jimmie Lu]

there really isnt any rules just donate what you can. 2 10 or 100 items Just let me know

[hseger]

I think the date Traceyleigh wanted items for Jan if possible was Jan 25th. I too just got done with them faster being in between projects and I know it will take me all of Jan and most of Feb for Febs items. lol

[FlowerPower06]

Here is my January Blitz item...a baby afghan. I will get it ready, packaged up and off to tracyleigh this coming week.

[heart]

Donna, That is beautiful! Perfect shape (mine sometimes come out pointy(?) and I love the colors too! Great job!

[ChayaSar]

donna that is really pretty, whoever ends up with it will surely be really pleased!

[FlowerPower06]

Thanks! It feels so good to do something for such a worthwhile cause!

[Jimmie Lu]

Donna Thats great! Everyone is doing a fantastic job!!!!

[allycat1987]

Donna, the blanket is so pretty!

 

Is it OK if I would join that I could donate the items in my area, or do I have to send them?

 

Thank you!

[carolynn]

Hi all, is it too late to join this?

I think I can make some preemie hats and maybe a blanket or two by the deadline.
