Blanket 33

Ha!  Finished the stash just in time for the Project Linus Blanket Day tomorrow: Not sure how many kids in Chicago would dig a University of Arizona Wildcats blanket, but there must be at least one.  Three rows of single crochet in White Lion… Continue Reading “Blanket 33”

Blanket 32

This was from a stash of Bernat Satin yarn that I picked up on clearance: Banana and Lapis are the colors. The other night, my mother reminded me that I had to make a Christmas stocking for the puppy.  Yeah.  Everyone gets a stocking… Continue Reading “Blanket 32”

Blanket 31

The Bulls fleece blanket: The foundation row is Lion Brand Pound of Love yarn in White and the two rows of single crochet are Red Heart yarn in Cherry Red.  This will make some kid very happy.

Blanket 30

Blanket 29

Blankets 24 & 25

I managed to do these in DC while watching the rest of that course on Academic Earth.  Finally. When I came home, the newsletter from my chapter of Project Linus was waiting for me.  It had a note that we donated 50 blankets to… Continue Reading “Blankets 24 & 25”

Blankets 22 & 23

I did these during designated nap times at Disney.  I doubt I will be so productive this week in Washington: Fleece from Penny’s stash.  Lion Brand Pound of Love yarn in White.  Three rows of single crochet.
