Class of October 2015

dolls 3

“The Class of October 2015” are the result of a very rainy October. These comfort  dolls are  given out with a small blanket for  a sick child from my Project Linus chapter. My sister, husband and I had a lot of laughs making these cute dolls, that will give comfort to a small child. Can you guess what doll was the first one?

This No-Sew Blanket is  an easy way to  make  a blanket for Project Linus or any charity organization you may be involved with. My husband and I had only one argument when we made this “Flower Power Blanket” . Here is a very simple video that shows how  easy  it is to make a  No- Sew Blanket. 43×55

Berry Patch Blanket

I call this blanket the Berry Patch because it reminds me of the colours of summer berries, another corner to corner blanket trimmed with the picot stitch.

This blanket was created by my sister , who  happens to be left handed. She completed the blanket in less then ten days.

I had a laugh trying to teach her the corner to corner pattern. Thank goodness for the internet, we  found a left handed crochet pattern, demonstrating the pattern easily. Here is a link for right and left handed box stitch to make a corner to corner blanket. 46×46
