Over Christmas break, I saw a blanket that I liked at my brother's house. My sis-in-law made it. I thought to myself, why don't I make one of these to pass the time when I have to listen to something but have enough attention for something else? So she had Jimmy send me the pattern.
So I order some yarn and get to work. Not long after, I find out that there's a Stitch Club at work, and that they're doing a blanket drive for Project Linus. Great! Now I have something warm and fuzzy to do with this warm and fuzzy blanket which doesn't quite match our curtains. I finished it, a full 50" x 50", in March. See the photos below.
I like the border, which is done with reverse single crochets, giving it a rope-like look. I also like how the pattern looks much more complicated than it is. The final step is to sew the Project Linus tag onto the corner. Then I can take it to the donation party, which won't be until June.

What's the demographic of that stitch club?
Maybe 10 women, only 2 men. I tried to start a conversation one time about how Sylvester Stallone's character in Demolition Man was given the power to knit as part of his cryo-prison rehabilitation program. The only response I got was a few uncomfortable looks.
