Make and Donate Blankets for Project Linus

I'm determined to finish and donate a baby blanket for Project Linus this year. 

Marble Baby Throw from Lion Brand Yarn

Project Linus "provides love, a sense of security, warmth and comfort to children who are seriously ill, traumatized, or otherwise in need through the gifts of new, handmade blankets and afghans, lovingly created by volunteer 'blanketeers.'"

Since 1995, they have distributed over three million blankets to children in need. These blankets go to children in hospitals, foster homes, shelters, and even to private homes. 

I'm sad to have discovered that there isn't a San Francisco chapter of this organization. However, there's an East Bay chapter to which I will happily donate my work.

Anyway, I've already found the pattern I want to use:  Marble Baby Throw from Lion Brand Yarn. I think I'll go for more neutral colors though. (I'll post photos when I finish)

I might have to consider making a couple fleece blankets as well. :)
