Blanket for my Granddaughter

Postby GrammyCarole » Wed Feb 08, 2012 5:10 pm

Thought you might want to see the blanket I just finished for my 8-year-old granddaughter. She's just graduating from "butterflies and baby things", and is starting that "in-between" age. Thought this would be a fun transition piece.

I love the colours! So 'sherberty'. And the black just makes them pop even more! Very nice work

That is so retro/mod looking. Does she absolutely love it?

Hi there! Beautiful blanket!

I resized your photo, so we could all see it better.
Be sure to resize your photo before posting, or we will only be able to view the top left corner of it.

You'll find free photo resizing programs on the internet. They work very well.
Your friendly Bernat Lady :D

Thanks for resizing the picture, Bernat Lady. I can crochet, but computers? Not so much! :idonno:

Thanks for the kind words ladies. She does like it & it was a true labor of love!

What a lucky little girl! Blanket is perfect for that "in-between" age.

LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :bravo:
Color blocking is all the rage, so your granddaughter will be on trend!
It reminds me of the 1960's, which I love. I have a kind of 60's theme in my house.
Thank you for sharing your lovely creation!
