WHAT'S MY STORY?
I am just an ordinary person making extraordinary blankets that are customizable for you!
It all started when I learned that I was about to become a new grandma. I felt that if I was going to be one, I needed to act like one too! I only had one of our kids left at home, and he was not too far from graduating, so I decided that whenever I had any "free" time, I would start crocheting. The only problem was, I didn't like any of the patterns or blankets that I saw out there...until I came across Bernat Blanket Yarn. It was the softest, plushest yarn I had ever felt, and we instantly had "a connection". I discovered a pattern for the "Lush Life Blanket" and knew that was what I wanted to make. I have made several of them, and they are for sale, but I have found myself very attached to them as well. I use at least two of them regularly in our home. My kids all love them, and I have made a few gifts out of them for others, especially with having sons and a son-in-law in the family. Sports and the sport-themed blankets have been great gift options for family members.
Of course, since I was going to be a grandma, I also needed to make a baby blanket for our soon-to-be grandson. The pattern I chose was very simple, and the yarn I chose... you guessed it...Bernat Baby Blanket Yarn! Those have been very popular sales items, especially since all of my blankets can be self-designed.
I think that what sets my blankets apart from many others is the fact that I am using such a soft yarn (that comes in a huge array of colors!) and crocheting a blanket that is both stylish and warm. It is not an easy pattern and it takes a while, but it is so worth the end result!
​
I have most recently been dabbling with making pillow covers. They are even more of a challenge to make than the blankets, but they are easily comparable to store-bought ones that go for high amounts of cash. So, give this grandma a chance to make you a new modern-looking, family-favorite blanket!
