We are glad you found us!<br /><br />We are the Western Canadian Oddball Baby Blanket Society, a large group of knitters and crocheters that create beautiful baby blankets for the Neo-natal Intensive Care Unit of the Foothills Hospital in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.<br /><br />Here is how we work. One of our members starts a blanket and knits or crochets six inches. They then pack up the blanket along with a notebook and send it along to another one of our members. In the notebook, the member can write a quick note to the future blanket's little owner, which shows the progression and travels of the blanket. With over 70 members, we usually have quite a few blankets going at a time, but new members are always welcome!<br /><br />As we have become larger than most OBB groups, we incorporated as a non-profit charitable society in August 2009. This is really exciting because we are the first and (currently) only OBB group that has reached this goal.<br /><br />If you are interested in becoming a member, please email us at wcobbsociety@shaw.ca or visit our <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/groups/western-canada-obb-society">group on Ravelry</a>. We would love to have you on board!<br /><br />Things on our site has changed, please take a minute to look around!<br /><br />We have a brand new navigation section on the right side of our homepage here that will direct you to all different areas of our site.<br /><br />Thank you all so very much for making this endeavor such a rewarding and joyful part of our lives! Without each and every one of you donating time, energy, yarn, patterns, etc. This would still be just a dream.<br /><br />As always, If you have any questions or comments, please let us know at wcobbsociety@shaw.ca<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6952218436828225325-2983133177499351788?l=wcobbs.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>WCOBBShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17244150428083981372noreply@blogger.com0
