Thank you for the compliments.
To answer questions. This blanket started in 2007 (guess it’s been seven years in the making!) with a trip to Goodwill and five skeins of baby yarn selling for $1.00 each! Now that’s a bargain that’s too good to pass up says the Queen of Cheap to herself! My son’s best friend and his wife were expecting and I decided to make a baby blanket for them. Macy is in second grade this year and could write her own thank you notes! I started it but ended up only taking it to trade-shows to alleviate total boredom while sitting in the booth waiting for participates who were in sessions and the motel room at night. I used to crotchet, knit, cross stitch or sew all the time but there just isn’t anything I like on TV anymore and I have to have something to occupy my hands while watching TV. Can’t do those things while I’m on the computer or reading! Once I found out I was going to be a grandma I decided I had to bite the bullet and finish it, so I have been watching Everybody Loves Raymond reruns from 9-10! So as you see, I wasn’t planning in advance!
Mitch, I love that comforter too. It’s another one of my bargains from Crazy Days several years ago. I bought it for the 5er but it was too heavy for summer use or those 4:00 am power surges! I’d love to have it in our room but it’s suede cloth and also attracts dog hair like a magnet, so it’s been relegated to one of the guest rooms. My bed is seldom made because little Miss Radar just sows it up anyway!
Yes, Tina, we are getting very excited…only about 2 ½ weeks to go!
