Special Memories Blanket
Part Three
Hi Everyone! This week we will be working on Part Three of the Special Memories Blanket Crochet Along! Thank you all for sharing your version of Part One and Two of the Special Memories Blanket. It warms my heart to see all the gorgeous blankets being made. By this point your blanket should be as wide as you want it. If not, that is perfectly okay. (When you get it to that point then you can pick up Part Three.) Now we will start bringing our blanket back down in size. No need to fret this part is just as easy as growing it. Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to crochet this blanket with me. Enjoy!
I hope everyone is having a Happy Thanksgiving. Have you been out shopping the Black Friday sales or do you shop from the comfort of your home? Either way I hope you are finding some great deals. If we do any shopping it will be from the comfort of our homes. We used to stand in the long lines waiting on special items but of the last few years we just stopped participating in that craziness. We tend to by our special items throughout the year when the price is right.
