The Worthy Grand Matron of the Grand Chapter of Maine, Order of the Eastern Star, has chosen as her project for this year blankets for Project Linus.
Starting in July, I intend to make a minimum of one per week. They can be knit, crocheted, or sewn - any size from baby to adult. With that in mind, I should have 40 done by the 1st of May, 2011. Here are the first 2 that I've finished.
#1 is machine knit on the bulky machine using sport yarn. It's mint green but doesn't look like it here. It's done in double bed tuck rib. Thank goodness I have a motor on that machine as the sport weight yarn was a little heavy and made the carriage difficult to push by hand.
#2 is a blue fleece blanket with a crocheted edge in black Simply Soft yarn. I have a 'skip blade' for the rotary cutter that cuts small holes in the fleece. It sure makes it easier to crochet around - that fleece is tough stuff and it's impossible to make holes with the crochet hook.
