We're in it Now
I mentioned that I had five volunteer gigs over five days. Here is how it went: Day 1 – The Refuge I arrived after work for my regular night feeding, cleaning and medicating (if necessary) the resident parrots. I found that the daily work… Continue Reading “Day 5”
Annette from Catnip and Coffee asked how we prep the fleece for the crochet-edged blankets. Karen and Penny, from my chapter of Project Linus, created a video demonstration: The first half shows how to prepare it and the second half shows how to go… Continue Reading “Prepping Fleece”
Project Linus night at Starbucks is this week, so I figured I’d better log these in and wash them: My problem here (besides the lighting) is that when I wait until I have several blankets completed, I forget the details of the work. The… Continue Reading “Blankets 7 – 10”
Between a really long audio book and the NFL playoffs, I am getting a lot of blankets done. First, a fully crocheted blanket. Caron Simply Soft in Sage and Dark Sage: Next, three edged-fleece blankets. On the left is three rows of single crochet… Continue Reading “Blankets 3,4,5,6”
I had to work today, so I didn’t have a particular project for the MLK Day of Service. But just so you don’t think I am a slacker, I will have you know that I am scheduled for stuff with Project Linus, the Refuge… Continue Reading “Day of Service and Blanket Two”

It is Starbucks night for Project Linus and I finished this month’s stash. I am now officially recording these out of order, as when I loaded my last two pics from the camera, I found three blankets that I’d finished earlier and not posted.… Continue Reading “Blankets 64 – 68”
I had to look up my blanket count, it has been so long since I have posted – meaning so long since I have finished a blanket. Two reasons: this is a fully crocheted blanket, as is the other I started on the road.… Continue Reading “Blanket 63”
Saturday was Blanket Day for our chapter of Project Linus. I am sorry to say that I totally forgot to take pictures. But the final product looks pretty much the same every time: This day’s take resembled 560 blankets bagged, tagged and ready to… Continue Reading “November Blanket Day and Blanket 62”
