Charity knitting?
What’s are some good patterns for a charity knit blanket? I’d like something that can be knit up somewhat quickly, but still looks good (doesn’t look lame or cheap). I’ve already looked at Project Linus which is where I got the inspiration. I’m a fairly experienced knitter, so the patterns don’t have to be easy, just quick. Also, if anyone has any other charity patterns for babies/newborns (like booties, hats/caps, etc) that are quick but not “lame”, let me know.
I belong to a yahoo group that makes items for preemie babies. It is called pafmarcy. You can get lots of patterns for babies. One of my favorites is Bev’s Country Cottage.
