Blanket of Comfort


As many of you know my mother has been fighting Ovarian Cancer for the past year and 5 months. Sadly things are not getting better & it seems that fighting the good fight sometimes just isn't enough. I have been trying to get home as much as possible to see her & spend time with her. I took the kids to Altoona this past week for 5 days & let her spend time with everyone, especially the new baby.

Weighing in at 84 pounds she gets cold easily, even in the summertime, so I am on a mission to finish a beautiful blanket for her that was first introuduced to me by Leslie.

I have 2 and half panels finished up & it's such a quick & easy knit that I hope to have it done this week. You can find the pattern ont the Lion Brand Website. I searched the web ferociously for the best price on yarn. I found that going to DefinitiveDeals.com & linking to Joann Fabrics from there got me free S&H. The yarn on site was even cheaper than it was in the store!


This blanket would make a great Christmas gift, but for me it has become a mission to give my mom some warmth & comfort.

Gosh I am sorry to hear that your Mom is not in good health.
The color you have chosen for her blanket is simply gorgeous! I am sure she will be very happy to receive it. Particulary all the love that went into each knitted stitch.
