With a Little Help From Mom

Another Done by Monday blanket is finished, this time pattern #8, also subtitled “Annette’s Afghan.”


We just celebrated a marvelous Thanksgiving feast with my mom and The Farmer’s mom and stepdad. Great food, some fun games and activities, and lots of relaxing rounded out the week. 

This blanket is a bit shorter than the others since I didn’t have additional yarn to add when I ran out. 

I offered if my mom wanted to try knitting a few rows, and she declared that she wanted to make sure and knit fast so she could take it home!

At least I know what to give her for Christmas this year! The other blanket (Afghan #11) was also highly loved upon, so I may have another holiday gift in my head…


The tag on the yarn skein is so interesting: hand-written, hair cream (conditioner?), and made to sell at the Maryland Wool Show in 1990! I love that she spun yarn one sheep fleece at a time. Norman is still with us on our laps now! 


Looking forward to the next month of concerts and celebrations. Wishing all of you winter blessings!
