Round 2 on this pattern.  I really wish I'd made this present decision earlier.

Working on Xmas projects.. Current goal to use yarn from home only no yarn shopping.... Now my budget for added accessories for example chapstick--hard plastic silverware is under $40...

Step 1-see what things I had first that I previously had made that is stored in like the 60 boxes in my house that I could use / giveaway for Christmas gifts...

Step 2 ---Started working on

*Scrubbies & a few washcloths

*Utensil pouches

* Hand sanitizer holders

* Chapstick holderholders

Humane society

** Blankets for their cages

Good luck with your projects..

And it's a great idea to use up yarn...I'm doing the same, except for when I need white yarn for christening blankets. I have quite a bit to use up.

I should have kept count on the number of blankets I've made...lol!

Washing it will eliminate the wrinkles

Hi all! Sorry to be absent for some long. I have been admiring all your pretty things and thanks for sharing your projects. I finished up this rectangle blanket and scarf for the local VA outreach program.

Cindy, those are really nice projects.

I've always wanted to make a rectangular granny...do you remember where you found the directions?

Tomorrow's the big day!!!

With everyone's help we have 16 boxes of dolls, clothes, and accessories headed out to the high school tomorrow morning.

I'll get a picture of the boxes so you can all see them but I notified the school because this is the first year we won't have room for a hand truck in the car to move the boxes into the school.  That's how much stuff we have.

Judy- In case Cindy doesn't see your question, here's a link to just one of many Rectangle Granny's on the web.

I've made a couple but they are both from an out of Print Annie's pattern.  I LOVE them.  They are warm, comfy and I love the look of the large rectangle Granny and not having to sew the Grannies together.  It's my DH's go to afghan.

Dropped off the 16 boxes this morning and it is always such an amazing experience with the high school kids.

The dolls were a big hit with the girls and the Lovey blankets were a surprising hit with one of the boys as it seems to be a family favorite with his little sister.

They were taking pictures while we were there and I understand more were going to be taken.  She promised to send me pics and I of course will share with all of you when I get them.

There is a huge need this year and all of you involved did an amazing job helping to meet it.  The 2021 Doll Donation Project is officially ended and we begin again for 2022.  Thanks to all of you.

Wow!!!

You saw the boxes today I have a post up on all the actual donations for the year.  If I missed anyone's pictures my most humble apologies.  I actually preposted this and tried to update it as donations came in or I finished projects.  It was an amazing way to see what had been completed.

Sorry for the delayed reply. This was crocheted using this free pattern.

Thank you and the other ladies for your nice comments on my blanket too.
