Testers Wanted: Stir Up A Smile Round Ripple 18 Points Blanket

For those of you that enjoy testing new blankets, this is the first of 3 blankets that I'm going to open for teseting.  If you are currently testing a project for me, please do not ask to test this item.  There will be another project very soon.


1. Must be a member of Ravelry, a follower of this blog and a subscriber to this blog.

2. Must be able to finish testing by Friday February 24, 2011

3. Must be able to send me a picture of your finished item attached to an email. People not following through and sending me a picture or not posting on Ravelry will no longer be able to test future patterns.

4. Must be able to send me errors of any kind you find in the pattern.

5. It is mandatory as of January 23, 2011 that all testers add their test projects on Ravelry after I post the link to the pattern. Once I post the pattern, you'll need to go back to Ravelry and link it to the proper pattern. If you posted your project ahead of time, it won't be linked to the pattern without using the exact name I called the pattern once it was posted. Anyway, believe me, I will be checking. If 10 people want to test, there should be 10 projects on Ravelry.

6. You can use whatever brand of 4 ply yarn you'd like to use. Please do not use variegated or striped yarn. The pattern will give you the specific's of what I used but you can use use whatever colors of yarn you'd like to use.  I used a lot of different colors of yarn, you can use less but must use more than one.
If you want to test, send me an email to the address below with your Follower name. Only the first people emailing me will receive the pattern to test. I respond to all requests. If you don't receive a response, send another email as your original email may have gone into spam. Please don't post a comment that you'd like to test. I can't send a copy of the pattern to a "comment." You have to email me as it states. Don't send me a comment through the Google feed that you want to test. You must use the email address below.

Comment from SmoothFoxHelper Lori

Congratulations to all the Winners! Wow! I am impressed that we were all shooting for a 1500 square goal and we knocked it out of the Park!!!  Thank you to all that participated and went that extra mile!  You are all wonderful and caring people! Thank you again!

UPDATE on Baby Jacob: He came home right before Christmas and guess what??? The last blankie the OnLine Angels provided to him was one from the Charity Drive! I just wish I could thank that person that sent in those beautiful squares. He is doing great. And now DRUMROLL.....he is 7lbs and eating like a horse. There are some cardiological leaps we all must get through as this is normal for every preemie. Hopefully he will grow out of it in next month and he won't have to undergo surgery to repair hole in his
heart. These holes in a normal newborn close on their own when they take their first breath. But a preemie doesn't get that option. And its a wait & see thing. FINGERS CROSSED! Thank you all for rising to the occassion with squares and thank you from this Grandma for all your prayers!

((((((HUGS)))))) to all!

Testers Wanted: Cherry Lime-Aide 12 x 12 square

As I've had so many new people asking to test a pattern recently, I thought I'd better get off my butt and post a square for testing so here we go.  First square of the new year!  Testing is open for this new pattern. 

I had asked some people if they wanted to pre-test this square and I found that my prior tests didn't come up to the correct size so I had to go back and add a round.  If anyone pre-tested this square for me, please send me an email and I'll send you the new pattern so that you have a version with the correct number of rounds.
