This is beautiful! I need to see a video of how to do the back loops only with regard to knitting...unless you can come sit beside me.
Come on, it'd be like a field trip. lol

Your blanket is beautiful. I can't wait to try this edging technique.
Taking some time this, first I've been able to in quite some time--given the hours spent at the hospital before Mom's passing--to visit some of the good folks following me.
What new projects are you working on?

Asking those who've donated before to help again, those who joined but didn't donate to please get fingers busy with hook or needles. Asking all to help spread the word by posting about the group and it's need on their blogs, to post team badge to help spread the word.
Will be closing the Rav. group that hasn't been active communications wise in a couple of weeks. Compiling a active list of members.
