A Knitted Surprise!

 I was greeted at my parent's house with this beautiful blanket my mom has been secretly knitting for me since before December! She made it to match a quilt in our guest bedroom, but until I get the quilts finished for our master bedroom, I'm going to enjoy it right here every day!
It's a cozy lap size measuring 45"x 85".
The greens and browns are so rich and I love the texture and edge of this blanket.
My mom knits blankets for me and I sew quilts for her. Each of our homes are filled with both...though I noticed hers more with quilts and mine more with blankets. (smiles) Hubby reminded me of the quilt I have started for our room...hhhmmmm....looks like I found my my March One Monthly Goal! Thanks for my new blanket mom. I love it!!!

  1. That's great, I have a knitted blanket that my maternal grandmother made for me, it's certainly cherished. I'm home sick this week with probable pleurisy and low blood pressure, it warms my heart to read your quilty blog though as usual.

  8. Wow, it looks amazing. My mum used to make that design in crochet. That's a lot of work for your mum. How beautiful

  9. So much talent in this family!! How very fortunate for you both to be able to look around and see the love of the other. And some day...you will finish that quilt for your own bed!! I don't think you'll be cold until then!!
