Seems that Patternworks has made me a new volunteer with this great organization; I saw the info about the challenge on their website and have ordered necessary kit. I'm thrilled to have found out about NIN this way, and greatly look forward to designing a really special baby blanket. I also hope to design knitting patterns for socks, caps, gowns, shirts, etc. to share with other volunteers.
As a mostly homebound MS patient, it is a true blessing for me to feel that this is a way in which any talent I may have as a designer may be put to real use for such an important cause. Looking forward to visiting this message board regularly, and hope to perhaps be privileged to get to know other volunteers here.
I'm a pretty slow knitter, but ya'll keep your eyes peeled for designs by Becky Jo from Arkansas.
