Project Linus
July 14, 2010
This is my version of the Kristin Nicholas ‘Hearts’ blanket. I made this for Project Linus.
Michael took the blanket today to a woman who meets with colleagues and knits every Wednesday during her lunch hour. The group’s knitting focus during this time is Project Linus. I don’t work with these women and I’ve never met them, but I was welcomed to knit a blanket to give.
I used Cascade 220 superwash, as the requirements are that the blanket must be able to be washed by machine. I tried my hand at crochet again for the border. This yarn reminds me of the colors of Play-Doh I once played with during my youth. I really hope it will brighten the day of a child who has to stay in a hospital.
By the way, I cast on the day I had a minor surgery myself. I suppose Project Linus was on my mind while I was relegated to a bed myself, and what better way to cheer myself up than to have all of these colors of yarn spread all over my bed?
