Below is our blanket gallery for this week. It is combinations of lots of skeins and part skeins of yarn combined together and knitted until it runs out or the knitter wants a change. It is easy, the ends are just knotted together and become part of the design.
Someone sent this part done blanket and a new knitter is going to finish it off.
This is a "recovery blanket" with squares of homespun combined together. It is very soft!
