got2knit-n-quilt: January 2013

2013 - 15 through 20

Projects 15 through 20 are baby blankets made from fabric found in my stash. I made 5 doubled flannel blankets and finished a Noah's Ark panel quilt. I'm hoping to sell them this Spring for $15-20 a piece. They were all completed January 22 and 23, 2013.

2013 - 14

Project number 14 is a charity blanket made out of stash yarn donated to the guild. The yarn is Bernat Soft Boucle and I knit it on the bias on size 11 needles. This was completed January 21, 2013.

2013 - 10 through 13

Projects 10 through 13 are four squares for the Square Swap group. Each month for a year you make and send a square to someone and then one month it's your turn for everyone to send a square to you. I'm in two groups and have completed the required squares for January and February. All were completed by January 22, 2013.

This is Pound of Love 100% acrylic and went to Cassie in NY.

This is Bernat Baby Softee 100% acrylic and went to Susan in the UK.

This is Peaches and Cream 100% cotton and went to Terese in NJ.

This is Sugar and Cream 100% cotton and went to Michele in the UAE.

2013 - 3 through 9

Since I will be making lots of stitch markers this year, I've decided to count them in groups of 6, so 6 markers will equal 1 project. These were all made in the month of January and will be sent out in various swaps (I'll update with names and places as they are sent out). All the materials came from stash.

These ones went into an angel package to Renee in ID for The Dollar Store Group Mini October Dye swap.

These ones went to Linette in OR for the KISS Group Be Pampered January Swap.

This set went to Melissa in Canada for the KISS Chocolate Lovers February swap.

This set went to Amy in PA for the Swap Stop Group Face Your Fears Winter Swap.

This set went to ## in ##.

This set went to Sharon in NC as a RAK.

This set went to Tanya in Canada for the Dollar Store Craft Challenge January Swap.
