My thoughts:
One of my favorite things I have is a blanket I got from a lady at church for my confirmation. I still have it even though it has be more than 30 years it was made with granny squares which I have always loved. I have lots of scraps of yarn and I am going to try out some of the patterns in this book. My favorite pattern is on the cover. It is the Contemporary Quartet. I can use lots of my scarps to make the squares. There are other I like too. My favorite thing is to make a blanket and then give it away. This year for Christmas – I am making blankets for my sisters. I have two done – need to make one more. I think it will be out of this book!
