[Nfb-krafters-korner] Braille on blanket

Sat Jan 4 17:15:44 UTC 2014

Beeding as crocheted, is it popcorn stitch? My tiny brain can't quite think
if that is the name of the stitch or not. But at least now I see the
confusion in my post, sorry.

Do you mean beading as in actual beads?

The  Blanket looks like a picture frame in a picture frame. The inner
picture frame is twenty two inches by twenty two inches. The name is along
the bottom. Since grandma doesn't want any shapes along the empty top. I
thought I would make a removable large boe, but I might change my mind. My
vision for now is as the baby is held the boe would drape over the arm just
a bit.
Anyway sounds cute in my wild imagination. 

So think of  skalupped edging. Then four inches of plane frame going around
the inside  edge. Then a beeded frame, like those old fashion picture
frames.
About  five inches from the inside beeding is her name in Braille  going
across.

Oh the blanket is crocheted.No it is not a granny  square. It is crocheted
across adding the beeding and the Braille.  

This is the second blanket I did the picture frame in a picture frame.  I
just love the look. I also did a couple of blankets that look like  French
doors.

Becky and the boss with all the branes, just ask him,  toothy grin. Love
Jake

Becky,

Good for you for taking on this  challenge.  What portion of the blanket is
used in this case to spell  out the child's name?  For example, is it a
rectangle of 3 inches by  14 inches?  Is it in the corner along one edge,
centered along one  edge, centered in the middle or maybe the blanket is
made up of squares  with 1 letter in each square?

Annette
