Charity Blitz 2008 Mailing and Monthly Info

[cluless]

I'm setting up this thread so the Blitz Coordinators can use this to post the charity needs and mailing information plus keep track of the monthly totals. I think that everyone (I know that I am) is having a hard time digging through the regular thread to find mailing info and the monthly totals. I'd like to keep this thread fairly empty so we can find the info we need quickly, so please do not post here.

I copied this from 2Kutes post on the other thread.

"HELLO FELLOW BLITZERS! HAVING FUN YET???

First and foremost, I would like to thank y'all for helping me with my charity.

The person in charge of the volunteer services at Baptist, Ms Sheila Rice, sent me a letter. They need newborn caps the most.

She requests in her letter that they are made of pastel colors and white only.

I am going to have you guys mailed everything to me and then all make an appt with her so I can take the stuff to her (I'll take pics.)

The caps need to be done using soft yarn. CSS, DK, or sport weight yarn.

Acrylic yarn only, NO wool or cotton please.

She sent me this pattern.

 

Chain 4, join to form ring

 

ROW 1 Chain 3 (count as DC) 11 DC in ring (12), join

 

ROW 2 Chain 3, DC in joining stitch, 2 DC in each st. (24) join

 

ROW 3 Chain 3, DC in next stitch, 2 DC in next st., *DC in next 2 stitches, 2 DC in next st. *repeat to end of row (32), join

 

ROW 4 Chain 3, DC in next 2 stitches, 2 DC in next st *DC in next 3 stitches, 2 DC in next st., *repeat to end of row (40), join

 

ROW 5 Chain 3, DC in each stitch, add 2 DC extra st. On this row (42), join

ROWS 6,7,8,9,10 Chain 3, DC in each stitch, join

 

(I've noticed that I have to make a couple more rows here when using sport weight yarn)

 

ROW 11 Chain 3, turn DC in back of each st. Join

 

ROW 12 Chain 1, Sc in joining stitch, skip next 2 st., *5 DC in next st., skip 2st., sc in next st., *repeat to end of row, join, fasten off.

 

PM me (2Kute) for my address please.She'll not turn away blankets, but what they really need like I said before is the caps.

 

Thank you,

Rose

 

They will take and need blankets also. Any help is appreciatted. Ms Rice just pointed out that caps is the major need. She said they never turn away anything."

 

So you will be mailing to 2Kute and she will gather and deliver the items. PM her for the address and let her know that there is a package on the way. PM Flowerpower06 with your totals

[Charlene]

How many extra rows need to be added if we use sport weight yarn? I assume we're using a size F hook? How long should the piece be when we're done? Charlene

Just a suggestion - This would probably be answered quicker if you posted in the Charity Blitz Thread.

2kute may look here....but may take a while.

[cluless]

It's getting close. PM 2Kute to get the mailing addy, Remember to PM Flowerpower06 with your totals as you send your packages off. DONT PM ME, I'm resting.LOL.
