Last year I decided I wanted to make a blanket. I had a lot of nice wool leftovers and thought it would be a great idea to put them together in one project.

Make Me a Mermaid
Over the last few weeks, several friends shared pictures of mermaid blankets with me. They are adorable, no doubt. I love all things ocean related, including mermaids, so why not give it a go?

I started taking a look at what was in there to see if there was anything I could possibly move along. I started a Reversible Crochet Baby Blanket earlier this spring intending to give… Continue reading FO Friday – Blanket
