Emergancy Baby Blankets

 ~~~~ A very dear friend of mine let me know that she has a friend who desperately needs baby blankets and clothes for a 1 week old little boy. So i raided my stash of yarn and pulled out a pound of bright yellow, bright green, and bright blue yarns to make three blankets and hats in each color. Now these are just going to be solid colored hats and blankets. Nothing overly fancy and something i can whip up quickly. So i am doing at least one in a granny square (one large square), and the others i am thinking just a simple Half Double stitch back and forth or something just as quick and easy that will make nice warm blankets with winter coming.

~~~~ i am going to ask Roommate to send them down to our friend so that she can pass them on as soon as they are done. i hope that it will be very quickly as they have jumped everything else and are the most important things i am working on. The family that is getting them is staying with her for a little while and she was telling me how Momma has never really been shown any kindness and when Friend gave Momma a few shirts to year because she really did not have any she cried over the kindness. i do not want to make her cry but i do want to show her that there are people in this world that will show her kindness even if they do not know her. i just wish i could do more for her.
