I finally got it done! The weather is really warming up, so I'm glad to report that I have now finished my Mom's summer blanket. I think she'll like it. It's made of baby yarn and is very, very soft.

That's beautiful!! Great job.
Wonderful blanket. You mom must be proud of you.
I'm trying to do that stitch right now and having a hard time with it. I will be successfull. My daughter and I (along with a church group) are making lap robes for veterans in hospitals and those returning home
Just read your post on Easter. Hope your day was good.
