Fishy Blanket

 

I have been working on a few crochet projects  and have this cute blanket finished, just in time for Easter.     Fishy blanket was a fun  blanket to make, adding  sweet little appliques to a conner to corner blanket with a “V” stitch trim. 48×54…

Pisgah Forest Blanket

Class of October 2015

“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?

Snuggly Blanket

Here is a cute snuggly warm blanket, for  a small child. I find it hard to believe that it is just about two years, that l have been crocheting blankets for  Project Linus  . Time sure does fly when you are doing something that you are passionate about, I  really enjoy making the blankets for children. 48×48

Strawberry Shortcake Blanket

 

“Strawberry Shortcake Blanket” is the name for this cheerful blanket,   I chose the name because of the pretty colors  that remind me of  beautiful strawberries. 46×46

Chunky Blanket

This is my latest blanket for Project Linus . This is a nice thick  corner to corner  blanket, using 2 strands of 4 ply worsted weight yarn, so “Chunky” is a great name for this cozy blanket. 42×42
