My beautiful, lovely friend was taking her two children to her partners parents house in Campbell town, and was in an accident with van. Donna and her baby, Noah, died at the scene. Her daughter, Hannah, is in Yorkhill.
Norrie was already at his parents house, and I'm assuming that the police got him to Glasgow to be with Hannah.
RIP Donna
RIP Noah

Puffy Blanket
My pattern for this Puffy Blanket is:
Using 2 balls of wool simultaniously (it is a wool eater!!! you have been warned.)
In multiples of 3, chain to desired legnth (I done 30 lots of 3) plus 2
Row 1: single crochet into 2nd chain from hook, 2 double crochets in same stitch,
skip 2
repeat til end
chain 2 and turn
Row 2: single crochet into the next single crochet space, 2 double crochets in the same space/stitch,
repeat till end
chain 2 and turn
Row 3+: Repeat Row 1 and 2 until desired legnth.
I shall add a picture when it is finished
This would also make a lovely warm scarf. Working with 90 clusters (+2) as a measurement should give a good legnth to the scarf.
If you use this pattern, please can you link back to me on blogs and pictures (including via facebook and any other social networking site)
You can use this pattern to make to give as gifts or to sell as well, but please always link back to here
thank you and enjoy :)
