Blankets
I don't know how I am able to follow a pattern and make gowns, yet I cannot make an evenly square blanket. Every attempt at crocheting blankets has ended with them looking crooked, uneven or triangle shaped. I have been inspired by a fellow blogging crafter to take fleece and crochet a border. Unlike her, I don't have the edgerydoo, so I improvised. I found fleece blankets at the dollar store that already have the holes punched around the edge. I simply count the holes and crochet the border. I am still working out a few kinks but here are the first couple attempts. These will go to Johnston-Willis NICU.

Those are very pretty! I wish I knew how to crochet. That is a good idea to get them from the Dollar Store and embellish them.

The blankets are so beautifully unique...just like the babies that will need them. Wonderful job.
I LOVE THE BLANKETS. YOU DON'T HAVE TO HAVE THE EDDGERYDOO TO MAKE THEM. YOU CAN USE A SMALL BOWL OR SOMETHING TO ROUND OFF THE CORNERS THEN MAYBE A ICE PICK OR SOMETHING SHARP TO MAKE THE HOLES. THIS IS WHAT I DID BEFORE I WON MY EDDGERYDOO.
