I have been down for the count this week. Man, I don’t remember feeling this sick for a long time.

Rethinking the Cozy Memories Blanket

Here’s a picture of me with my Cozy Memories blanket. I started it off with the three colors I used to make my Riley Rose Shawl. This photo was taken in November 2018. It still looks like that one year later. I was really excited to start one of these blankets for the same reasonContinue reading “Rethinking the Cozy Memories Blanket”
