I hope no one who is getting these blankets is allergic to dogs, because I could not get my dog to stay off them for 5 seconds while I took a picture. You will notice he is in almost every single shot. Silly dog.

How do I help?

Get thee to a knittery and knit!

Or....knit at home, on the train, in your car (assuming you are not driving), during your kid's akido class...anywhere and make those baby blankets!

Watch this page for upcoming "Knit Nights" at the drop sites.
