Easter Goodness.

   Happy Easter everybody! Hope you had a great Easter, my family and I did. We had some delicious ham that made us forsake hams of the past, some mashed potatoes (of course this was the first time I screwed up the potatoes, go figure.) Bread and carrots! Yum!
   Ok, here are some projects that I just completed for Project Linus. All I have to do now is put everything in a bag and bring it to the next get together! First item of business, the granny square blanket. I don't know how to make granny squares yet. But I can piece them together!! One of the group ladies taught me how. Other ladies in the group made the squares, so it was all assembly on my part. 
   The second one is a 36x36 baby blanket. 67 rows, 115 stitches to a row, with a scalloped border. I used Aran, blue, gold and delft blue Red Heart Yarn and Rainbow classic by Purl Essence. The small blankets are for small still born babies. The first is 12x12, 27 rows, 42 stitches to a row, the colors are delft blue and Aran. Scalloped border. The second has the same measurements. Rainbow classic is the color. This time I decided to mix it up and try something new so I made a chain loop edging in gold. That was a very enjoyable experience and very quick, it only looks complicated!!!
  I might do that more often. I am in the process of making another stillborn blanket with the same measurements in blue and gold. I am trying to use up those color skeins. March was a very productive month. Happy Easter!
