About 10 years ago I gathered all my worsted weight acrylic yarn and made 12-yes 12-twin size blankets for a homeless shelter. I was happy to use it up and get it out of my house and the homeless shelter was more than happy to receive them. I'm afraid it only made a small dent in my stash!!!lolJanicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12465050441931715127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541083431029092303.post-73562522605211611012017-07-03T16:21:05.243+01:002017-07-03T16:21:05.243+01:00Hi Pam :) I think the blanket looks nice!
