Friday Fantasy Knits- Knitting Up A Blanket for The Cold Seasons To Come


I'm dreaming of Afghans, Blankets, cosy lap blankets.  To get one done for the Fall and Winter months you would need to start now.  Unless you make one from super bulky yarn and huge needles and I've included some of those quick projects here.  Whether there quick knits or slow they will be so nice and welcome when they are done.  Or given as a gift.  Here's a collection to inspire you.

Sampler or Pieced Afghans















 Patons- Sampler Afghan to Knit (Out of Print & I'm wondering if it can be found- a library or connect to Patons? It's so pretty!)



My favorite crocheted blanket (but I couldn't resist).  I've literally made about 6 of them and they take me months- but they are worth it.  Pretty, soft and very durable.  And I made them huge!   My 6 ft. son used his autumn toned one as a blanket around his shoulders and it still dragged on the floor.
