Year of Lovely Things 2012. Friday, January 20, 2012. Completed Project: Lennon's Blanket. After missing 5 or 6 self-imposed deadlines, this blanket is finally done. It's bigger than a baby blanket for a good reason. The recipient is for "C's" new 4 year old grandson whose favorite color is green. Just because he joined the family at an older age doesn't mean he wasn't going to get his own blanket. It's Lion Brand Vanna's Choice Yarn made with a J hook. As always, all the details are on Ravelry. Crochet ...

On Hooks & Needles: Dreaming of Fabric
http://on-hooks-and-needles.blogspot.com/2011/09/dreaming-of-fabric.html
