#53 – The Last Blanket of 2014

Posted on December 29, 2014 by Linda @ alottastitches

Thank goodness for having some Hot Pink yarn in my stash. Just four single-row stripes of Hot Pink make an incredible difference in how this blanket looks. Can you imagine how bland it would be without them!? PINK!! This one … Continue reading →
