Peppy Pastels
Our Peppy Pastels blanket has already been worked on by two knitters (Shandeh & Doodknitwit), and is now getting more attention from our third knitter, beekaync. She'll be using the green yarn in the photo.
Here's a close-up of the knitting done so far:

A New Beginning
We haven't heard from Snowbear in quite a while, and a few of our baby blankets have been lost in the shuffle.
So, we decided to give this project a jumpstart, and start over again. The oddball blankets will be managed by Shandeh, and the log cabin blankets will be handled by Yarnlady.
This week, Shandeh started off two new oddball blankets. The first blanket will be made with pastel colors, and the second will be made with primary colors.
Here is the beginning of both blankets!
"Peppy Pastels" (using pastel-colored yarns)
Here is the pattern I used for the Peppy Pastels blanket:
Cast on 101 stitches. Knit 3 rows Garter Stitch for border.
Stitch Pattern
1) Knit all stitches
2) K3, Purl all stitches until there are 3 stitches left on the needle, K3
3) K3, *K1, P1* (repeat between *s to last 4 stitches), K4
4) K3, Purl all stitches until there are 3 stitches left on the needle, K3
Repeat rows 1 - 4 until you have knit for 4 inches, then knit two rows Garter Stitch, ending with a wrong side row. Leave a tail and cut yarn, leaving it on the needles for the next knitter.
When the blanket is long enough, the last knitter will end with 3 rows of Garter Stitch, then bind off.
"Crayola Box" (using primary colors)
Here is the pattern I used for the Crayola Box blanket:
Cast on 103 stitches. Knit 3 rows Garter Stitch for border.
Basket Stitch Pattern
1) K3 *P7, K3* (repeat between *s to the end)
2) K3 *K7, P3* (repeat between *s to last 10 sts) K10
3) repeat Row 1
4) repeat Row 2
5) K3, P2, *K3, P7* (repeat between *s to last 8 sts) K3, P2, K3
6) K5 *P3, K7* (repeat between *s to last 8 sts) P3, K5
7) repeat Row 5
8) repeat Row 6
Repeat Rows 1-8 until you have knit for 4 inches, then knit two rows Garter Stitch, ending with a wrong side row. Leave a tail and cut yarn, leaving it on the needles for the next knitter.
When the blanket is long enough, the last knitter will end with 3 rows of Garter Stitch, then bind off.
