Starting the year with some squares

While down at Mum and Dad's for Christmas I decided I'd pick up my white blanket again (by the time I finish I'll have to call it The Decade Blanket) and do a few more squares.

Circle Flower - a pattern I designed after starting another pattern that just didn't work for me.
 Popcorn flower - another one I made up
 Kata Also one of mine, finally got around to making a version for this blanket
 Poinsettia - another original pattern
 On the road again - another pattern I made up
 Not sure what this one is
 hmmm, another mystery one


I have documented the patterns I made up in a little more detail than I usually do so they are on my very large 'to do' list to get them written out and tested.
Crafting is taking a back seat to University work for a while, so maybe towards the end of the year.

Dear Penny,
I am part of the Victor Valley Knitting Guild (we crochet too!) in the High Desert of So. CA. in Apple Valley, Ca.

A few of our members are interested in us setting up a BOM to make 12 blocks over the next few months, We found your “Enough Love to Go Around and Kata” blocks and think they would be a good addition to our mix of blocks. I would like to request permission to print out patterns for the members who want to be involved in this project. We would happily give credit to you for your design on the copied patterns. When we have 12 blocks put together, the resulting “Lapghans” will be distributed to various charities in our area that will include nursing homes, hospitals and the Veteran’s Home in Barstow. None of our lapghans will be sold, they will all be charitable items or kept for personal use.

Thank you, waiting for your reply,

Nancy Boo, Sec., VVKG
