Since December I have been going through my books over and over and over - and I just cannot find the photo. This lead me to believe that the book was not in my bookshelf!
I have been obsessing about making this and so I spent the morning on a mission - going through the crates in our storeroom searching for the book that would contain my holy grail of crochet!
Well I had to laugh!! I still have not found the book but I discovered this old granny square blanket. I made it about 25 years ago from a haul of acrylic that my then-new hubby brought home for me one Saturday! (He went out shopping for power tools and he came home with yarn for me!! - LOVE!)
Still looks pretty good after almost a quarter of a century (although my crochet has improved somewhat since then!).
