A fellow weaver on Ravelry mentioned assembling a baby blanket using the Flat Braid method. I’d never seen this one before so I wove up 4 Tiny squares with some left-over baby yarn and made this little blanket to try it out. It adds a bit of laciness to it. For those of you asking [...]

Sorry it’s been so long since I posted. I’ve been so busy doing nothing that I just forgot! :O Oh well. Some weeks are like that. We were supposed to go get our new (to us) 5th wheel trailer this week but Randy got Jury Duty so it will probably be another week, at least. [...]
