Crafting For A Cause Projects

OK, in a moment of insanity I decided to try to have 10 baby sets ready to send to Pine Ridge OB Unit in the Indian Health Services building at Pine Ridge by the end of July.  The baby sets will include bonnett, booties, sweater, and blanket.  I also have a couple of patterns that I may try for something extra.  My goal, of course, is to have everything hand or machine knitted, but I have some alternatives in mind if I get behind.  One alternative blanket would be a fleece blanket with the tied sides.  If I get to the end and I am short , I will purchase items to make sure the sets are complete.  I will try to keep my projects posted here. I have been blessed by some ladies at Ravelry who are going to send me some baby yarns to help make this project possible.

Here is what I have so far:
I plan to remove the ties and put ribbons in their place.  The right bootie is not deformed, it was just scrunched up!  This set matches the tuck blanket below.

I am not the best photographer
 This is a tuck stitch blanket. The color is washed out of the photo, but it matches the first set of bonnett and booties.
