Sharon's Blanket

My friend's blanket is finished! It measures approx. 46" x 66" and was made with Department 71 Sofia, color Galaxy. I used an N hook and a pattern from Lion Brand called Super Fast and Easy Throw It is so soft and I love it. :)

Ripple blanket order

I had made a blanket for a friend as a gift.

He notified me that he wants to purchase one for his bed to match. So, I am using the same pattern, but modifying it a bit. I will be using 3 skeins of Homespun Prairie and then 1 skein of Chenille Peacock.

Layettes

I finished the layettes and will be taking them to the post office tonight.

Ripple Blanket

There's always one more. :) Just got a request to make a ripple blanket with Lion Brand Chenille and Homespun. It's going to be 90" x 90" to fit a queen size bed. There's a sale next week at Rag Shop. Maybe they'll have the colors I need. I haven't decided if I'm going to make it all Homespun or not. I don't think I'll like the color changes in a blanket that size. Hmmmm.

One more blanket!

Well, I finished blanket 2 of 3. I went out to purchase another pound of yarn, but I couldn't find the right color. So, I'm going to pray that my scraps will be more than enough. Still waiting for my yarn to arrive from Herrschners so that I can start working up that blanket as well. I bought a pattern from Roxy Craft called Springtime Basket that I want to work up. While shopping for the yarn for the layette, I picked up 2 skeins of Caron One Pound in an antique white and an ecru color. They were 2 for $7 and I couldn't pass them up. I'm thinking of making some sort of wraps with them.
