The secret is out June 27, 2007
Finally after months of secrecy, I can reveal my knitting group’s secret project:
A Blanket for Debbie! Debbie has been in our knitting group for years, and when she announced that she was getting married, we wanted to make something for her. The idea of a blanket was tossed around and I vehemently opposed. I really hated seaming together the baby blanket that we knit as a gift a long time ago. Then Abby stepped up and took charge. After a few weeks of pumping Debbie for color and yarn information, we were knitting blue squares.
The blanket is made of Plymouth Encore (superwash wool acrylic blend) and is the combined knitting efforts of Abby, Carmen, Ingrid, Sarah, Sarah B, Wenonah, B, Gen, Mary and myself. The square pattern is from Fun Knits. We added a double crochet border, and Abby hand embroidered a tag. (Peek here if you want to see us piecing it together.)
I think she likes it!
Beautiful! I love the photo of her with with it. She looks very happy.
Wow, that’s one beautiful blanket! You guys rock!
It\’s stunning - and that picture of her with it is wonderful.
That is such a great idea and i love how it turned out! i\’m definitely adding this pattern/idea to my list of future projects!

What a lovely blanket and idea - and she looks thrilled with it
That’s a nice blankie! And the shot of her enjoying it must just warm your knitterly heart. It’s great to see someone appreciating something that clearly took a while to do!
That’s gorgeous! What a great project!
