The first one was WAY too big. And now I've got an error somewhere. ugh.<br /><br />But it's Monday, it's sunny and the kids' lessons are finished and they are outside playing. Maybe now I can tackle that little problem... <br />Blessings!<br />Ps. Where did you get all of your tomatoes and zucchini? It all looks SOoooo yummy!!Kaylanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11093113911143784696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8162150278449660664.post-45630702345809397342012-09-09T00:05:58.499-05:002012-09-09T00:05:58.499-05:00I'm sorry you had a hard time posting.

Those letters can be difficult to read!<br /><br />When I crochet around the flannel blankets I use a darning needle to poke holes evenly around the edge of the blanket. Then I make up the pattern as I go, usually 3 dc, chain 1 and repeat around. In each corner I add a few more dc to make a nice turn. Sorry it's not more specific. I make up a lot of things as I go, cooking included!Betsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00807691752817225336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8162150278449660664.post-50994539880710971022012-09-08T05:37:18.679-05:002012-09-08T05:37:18.679-05:00Lovely blanket and canned goods.

The crocheting around the edges of both blankets is a lovely practical finish. A friend from church made a flannel blanket for my oldest daughter 31 years ago, and I used it with both of my girls and Mary Kathrine is using it with all three of her girls. Thanks for posting.<br />Oh, and I'm looking forward to our lunch date :)<br />Blessings to you and yours.<br />Gracie xGracie Saylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09499163425742659172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8162150278449660664.post-23437135845396971092012-09-06T17:46:19.468-05:002012-09-06T17:46:19.468-05:00I hope you get help on the clean up!
