The story begins in November of 2011. My in-laws, parents and sisters family, we're all affected by the large fire in Bastrop, Tx labor day weekend. To be frank, they lost everything. After this happened my MIL asked me if I would make them a blanket for their new home. Of course I said yes, thinking it would be a quick project and perhaps even done by Christmas. I searched countless websites looking for a pattern to make my own, I searched tons of stores for yarn that was just right(a big shout out to my sis-in-law for helping me with that!), and countless hours re-doing work I found unsatisfactory. In fact I had the entire center block done in a completely different green, and a completely different stitch! I couldn't let that slide so I put that one down and started over. Lo and behold, 3 months later I have finally finished their blanket! I hope that it lasts them for years to come. Enjoy!
