The spring of 2013 l got word that my nephew and his beautiful wife were expecting their first child, then l heard another friend was expecting. I like to crochet, so decided to get busy and make two blankets one for a girl and one for a boy. For some unforeseen reason the girl blanket didn’t get to the intended person so l had a cute infant blanket on my hands. My sister saw an advertisement in the paper about Project Linus. l contacted the chapter coordinator in my area for more information, and donated the pink blanket. Since then l have been happily crocheting blankets, and thought it would be fun to keep a blog of all blankets l make and hope to inspire others to get involved with Project Linus.
Project Linus, a non-profit organization, providing homemade blankets to children in need. These blankets are lovingly made by adults and children.

Thank you for the link to Project Linus, and for posting a link to my post. I’m so glad to have found your beautiful blog here! and Color! I have been making baby “sacks” this year for infants. The first was for my granddaughter, but like you, have had other loved ones having babies. This is a great way to swaddle a little one so they can’t kick their blankets off and can’t cover their faces as they sleep. A knitting friend gave me a book of patterns, and I’ve improvised on those designs with crochet. Best wishes, WG

Funny I have made blankets for preemies etc for hospitals etc. But I never really thought about these blankets being made by children also. Great idea. BTW can I repost this post in a future post of my blog? I think it is something worth promoting.
