[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Labeling squares

Wed Apr 21 17:12:41 UTC 2021

Wow I’m impressed! You know, some store-bought blankets have a saying printed on them. Maybe we should have a project of some sort on display at the next convention in person with a message panel in it. That is really cool Tracy!

Each letter took 3 stitches, 2 for the cell and 1 to separate it from the next letter, and I put a purl row between also.  So it took some planning, but now I have a label built into my square, for when I forget while I'm admiring my blanket years from now.
