πΏ Hi all! π
It's going to be another warm one! π₯΅ So, talking about blankets probably seems a bit silly. π€£
But if you are fortunate to still have elders in your family, you know air conditioning can be a tricky thing to maneuver as we head into that season. π₯Ά
π₯° My grandmother just turned 93 on Sunday! π²
And so, a lap blanket to ward off the cold on her legs, or shoulders, once the A/C hits full blast, was the plan.
I chose a bunch of warm browns, and a lot of pretty little ends of skeins I had collected. π§Ά
The border was then composed of all of the really small remaining lengths, in a single strand, to bring all the colours together. π«ΆπΌ It's about 4'x4', and should just be long enough to lay comfortably in her lap, without being too heavy to move about. πͺπΌ
For a yarn buster, I think it turned out beautifully. And her generation will appreciate the 'waste not, want not' quality behind the love in each stitch.
π€π€π€ Happy Birthday again G-Ma! π€π€π€
