Remember the
collaborative blanket I was working on? All the squares have been crocheted and given back to me so that I can put the blanket together. It's a 'comfort blanket' to be given to a family whose son has died. His name will be embroidered on the 'blank' squares you can see in the photo. I'm crocheting the squares together. It's going very slowly. Perhaps that's because it's acrylic and I'm used to using wool? I don't know. In any case, I shall plod on until the job is done. Once the squares are all joined, I will crochet an edging around the blanket.
I don't mind crocheting but to me that is the worst job sewing everyone else squares up, good luck. What a lovely idea though. I am at the moment ministering to a family who have lost their son.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely idea, I am sure that the blanket will be treasured
ReplyDeleteI do like the colors you've chosen for this blanket. Your joining looks very neat and precise, something I never seem to accomplish with crochet.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful thing!!! :) Looks fabulous already!! :)
ReplyDeleteLovely idea and the colors are soothing.
ReplyDeleteIts going to be a gorgeous blanket and I am sure the family will love it
ReplyDeleteIt looks so comforting and the sentiments make it extra special. Perfect joining :-)
ReplyDeleteIts beautiful and a kind idea instead of food.
ReplyDeleteA lovely and very thoughtful Labor of Love for giving comfort to someone in need. Blessings Dear.
ReplyDeleteA lovely, thoughtful gift.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Sally that this is a difficult task. I had trouble sewing/crocheting my own squares together on an afghan, let alone others' squares, which might be slightly different sizes. And I agree with Diane that you're doing a very neat job.
