3 down

21 to go! Before I start making blankets, I must first fullfill a promise I made my husband, ages ago. To make him a blanket. I have made everyone I know it seems one, and he's been hounding me for one. So here are the first 3



I can't seem to find this pattern for the life of me, so if anyone wants it sorry! I know I got in online, but it's MIA.

I am making this with Caron's one pound, color Lace. I have 3 of these, not sure how many squares I'll get out of it. Each square is 12" and plan is to make the blanket 4x6 squares. I have never been any good at telling how many oz of yarn I use to make things, so again if you want to know, I'm not the person to ask : )

So looks like as long as I get 8 squares per skein, we're good. I will more then likely edge it with black, another color I have a lot of.

As soon as this is finished, I will move on to Project Linus blankets. Again, looking for any yarn donations if you happen to have any. The drop box for these, is at this fabric store, so I may get into trouble going in there to drop off! I may try my hand at those fleece no sew blankets too. Baby steps though, I'm not that crafty.

Locks of Loves

I have been growing my hair out for years. I've decided I needed a new look, and what better way to convince me to cut my hair, then to donate to Locks of Love So I went in to my hairdresser's with a photo of a very short hair cut, and asked to chop it all off. 15" to be precise.


Here I am before the change





Here I am now, much lighter and curlier
