Yesterday I got a call to make some fleece blankets in a hurry. Project Linus asked for 1,000 blankets to send to the high school back east where the shootings occurred. I managed to crank out four yesterday, with a little help from my friends!
I finally got real and used the rotary cutter to cut the strips. That was much less tedious than cutting with scissors. That just left the tying of the knots, but a friend and her daughter came over and each did a blanket, making it possible to get all four done. They are single layer fleece, which is not my most favorite form of fleece blanket (I like matching two fabrics), but what can you do. It was the nature of the beast.
