American Mom Blanket

[Kelle]

Hi! I just found my digital pictures from a blanket I designed and crocheted for my American-Flag-Loving Mom for last Christmas...and of course, I'm playing with making my own website (in my spare time )

I, unfortunately, didn't make any kind of notations as to how I worked the blanket so I can't really share a pattern... but I used Lion Brand Homespun with a size G hook (I think) and it seemed to take me forever but it was worth it! My Mom loved it

 

Anyways, thanks for looking!

This was wonderful. I love your border and bet your Mom was tickled to get it last year. Sooo creative! I am also a red, white and blue girl. Thanks for sharing.

Great job! I love how the white part is only just attached in small portions to the rest, leaving that open space (real technical description, I realize ).

Okay...I'm still kinda new at this and the free website is maybe not such a good idea and I apologize in advance if this doesn't work either, but let's try this!

That is so cool! You did a really nice job!

Kell -- Great job! You really ought to write out your design and sell it. It is very original and adorable. People would buy the pattern for the edging alone! Find out what company or magazine pays the most.

WOW! That is soooo cool! My MIL would LOVE it!

[donnalynn2]
