Section 8 is along the top of the picture from left to right. Per Vicki’s request, I took another picture and included one of Poe’s tennis balls for scale.
As written, the pattern will make a blanket that measures 40″ x 43″, which is a decent enough lap size. It looks like I will [...]

Here is section 8. I am in love with this pattern and this yarn!
Today I am taking D#2 for her driver’s license. I have checked and rechecked all of the paperwork and believe that everything is in order – I don’t want a repeat of the last time I took a daughter for [...]

Here is a look at my Babette blanket progress. The picture shows sections 1-4, complete with seaming! My idea to work the squares in the order they are put together and to seam them as I go along is working out well. I can’t imagine dealing with all of these squares at [...]

Our meeting was a covered dish dinner along with an auction. Everyone brought in items for donation [...]
