It's FINISHED!!!!!!!!!

Hot off the needle. The last stitches are sewn and the ends woven on the blanket for Warm Up America :-D Celebrate with me that this project is complete.


Yarn: Mostly Caron Simply Soft
Pattern: Generally Garter Stitch
Needle: Approximately size 8, generated from chopsticks
Knitters: 46 S. S. Palmer Elementary School students, a 4th grade teacher and myself


I can't wait for them to see it! It will be on display for the building's art show on Thursday late afternoon. The kids are already so excited just from seeing the 'squares' and then the strips that were finished. Wait till they see the whole thing.
