The blankets may be knitted, crocheted or sewn, but they MUST BE WASHABLE. Please use multiple strands of worsted weight yarn or bulky/super bulky weight for the knitted/crocheted ones. Use the smallest knitting needles or crochet hook as you can as the blankets needs to be firm and as tight as possible.

For the sewn blankets, several layers of fabric and batting is needed to stand up to the wear and tear it will get. Denim is good, as is flannel. If batting is used, be sure that it is stitched from corner to corner or several lines across the middle of the blanket to keep the batting in place so it doesn't bunch up when washed.

If you also pledged slippers and/or washcloths for this shelter, they can all be mailed in the same package. Here we go:

3 blankets, 20 x 20 -  DONE
3 blankets, 24 x 24 -  DONE
1 blanket, 24 x 30 -  DONE

We have now posted our next challenge  ---  CHALLENGE #12 of 2017  ---  to the Facebook page and will be posting here on the blog very shortly.

If you would like to take part in this challenge by pledging and making some slippers for this shelter, please list your pledge in the comments area under the challenge - OR - even better, send it by email to us:    thepinkslipperproject@gmail.com.

You may use whatever pattern you wish as long as it falls within the size category for the slippers that you pledge.   We need to know which category or categories you wish to make and how many of each size.    The mailing info and mail by date will be included in the challenge information.

Hello, everyone!   This is Judy.   While our blog has been quiet for a few weeks, we have still been busy over on our Facebook page.   Due to some personal events going on in my life recently, I haven't been able to get Challenges #7 and #8 of 2017 posted on the blog.   Those two challenges were for Friends Against Abuse in International Falls, Minnesota, and The Family Place, in Dallas, Texas!   While Friends Against Abuse was a repeat shelter for us, The Family Place was a new one and our first in Texas!

Challenge #9-2017 has been posted on Facebook and will be up on the blog shortly.   We are having a rather big snow/ice storm here on the east coast (where Rachel and I are both located) and we are hoping our electric stays on so we can keep the challenge updated today!   

If you send your pledge via our email (thepinkslipperproject@gmail.com), we will send you a return email acknowledging your pledge.    If a category/size has already been filled, we will let you know asap and see if you wish to change your pledge.

If you have any questions, please feel free to email us!
