Congrats on finishing!



I too finished a project today, but alas no photos. Maybe I'll shoot one before I give it to the intended recipient. I took the 4-hour baby blanket using size 50 needles

I made it for a man in a nursing home, and so opted not to use pastels. Instead, I used 2 skeins of black (his favorite color), one of a variegated gray, and one of a black with bright bits of color popping up here and there. Then I left the tassels off. He's in a wheelchair part of the time, and I didn't want something to get caught up in wheels. I'll tell you, that blanket may be holey, but it's WARM! They call it a 4-hour blanket. I think it took me twice that.


I saw your beagle picture! We have one too, and he's my spoiled baby! Pins the cats down and loves on them something fierce. Licks them until their ears fold back!


LOL I can just imagine the poor cats thinking {Get this thing off us NOW!!}.

*hugs* Gemini

- by the way... I didn't see a picture at that link.

Thanks!

What a great gift for him!

Does your beagle get fur balls from that? lol I love beagles - they are just the sweetest things :)
