Okies in the BYC The Original

I know it doesn't ravel, but I don't care for fringe and it seems sort of cheap to give a blanket that is a length of fleece with the selvage cut off. I like to put a blanket stitch of some sort on it or when I want a hand project, I take along a fleece blanket and put a rolled hem on it by hand. I generally make my fleece blankets 3 yards long - plenty long enough to tuck under your feet and pull up over your shoulders.

P&B....that's exactly the yardage I use also. I hate trying to get cozy and it not being long enough to snuggle in. I like things tucked in like swaddling a baby. LOL I have made so many of those I've lost count. I usually give them for gifts such as weddings, babies birth, etc. Just made 8 of them for Christmas but I always make mine double. I really enjoy trying to match the print with the things the person likes and place a solid on one side. It is very relaxing to sit and tie as I watch tv. I usually cut several and tie while watching a movie. Kind of good at it by now. LOL

I wish I knew how to put a finished edge on it like a blanket stitch just for something different. Got any ideas?

That's odd... Santa didn't deliver mine

Good morning, Okies
I am waiting for the sun to come out so I will be inspired to go outside and play with the birds.
If the sun is shining, I don't mind the low temperature. If the sun isn't out, I want it to be above 50 degrees before I go outside.

Good morning all.

I've come to realize that I really need to set goals for myself. I am so easily distracted these days that I start too many projects before I finish any of them. I have about a half dozen things going right now and I can't seem to make any headway on any of them. Or, I might just have another cup of coffee and stare out the window some more.

First off finish this pot of coffee then wait till the football games to start, throw in a couple of big snacks and a nap or two. That should just about cover it, I sure do like Sundays LOL.
