Early this year, after living in my tiny home office for four months, my newly-separated son got an apartment. While trying to figure out what all he would need to make this new place his home, he selected a Lion Brand slip-stitch sampler throw as his blanket-of-choice to keep warm while reading or watching TV on the couch.
I bought the kit sold by Lion Brand and started work on this rather complex project. This summer I’ve had several extended periods of time that I was able to devote to this project. I’m now on the fourth block, and it gets easier with each passing row, log and block.
I have completed three of the six blocks. With the gift of more dedicated time, the blanket should be completed before it’s needed with the onset of cold weather in the fall. The more I work on this, the more I like the colors, and the more I think this is going to be a great cuddling blanket for my son and my grandchildren.
