Granny's Daughter Afghans for Project Linus
|
As one of my community service efforts, I have
collected Granny's Daughter motifs from generous crocheters to make
into afghans for Project Linus.
Project Linus distributes handmade security blankets to seriously
ill and traumatized children to comfort them.
I no longer accept motifs. I still have quite a few
motifs waiting to be used in an afghan and plan to continue making
afghans until I have used all of the motifs.
|
Making these motifs is a wonderful way to use up bits of acrylic
worsted weight yarn left from other projects.
Sadly, no one seems to be collecting motifs at present, so you'll
have to make enough to create your own afghan.
Pattern Source: This pattern has been published in
more than one pattern leaflet/pamphlet/book.
