Over a year ago, my dear friend Mandy found out that her colon cancer returned and not in good places. It decided to take up residence in her liver, spleen, and lungs. So, I did what a crocheter does, and made her a blanket.

My Cancer Support Lap Blanket Crochet Patterns are a way for you to show your loved ones that you are thinking of them, through a trying time. Two versions of the design are available, Mulitcoloured Motifs or One-piece (separate free pattern).
Hug a Friend Square
Recently, many of my fellow Red Heart Joy Creators got together to make a beautiful afghan for our friend Allison from Red Heart Yarn. Each of us designed a 12" square and then we sent them off to a team member to join them. This lovely afghan was then given to Allison for a fun wedding gift! I love being a part of the Red Heart Yarns Joy Creators. One reason is because we all love to crochet, and this was one of our first group activities. The Hug a Friend Square is a fun and whimsical 12" square made using Chic Sheep Yarn in 3 colors. I hope you enjoy making it too, because this was one of my favorite blocks in my free pattern library.
Paw Print Blanket
This Paw Print Blanket is a really special project for me. I wanted to make something special for our sweet girl Ashley, who turned 9 on the 23rd of February. Since she loves animals (dogs especially), I decided to design a corner-to-corner (c2c) Paw Print Blanket. I thought it would be fun to make four separate c2c graphs to spell the word "love" and to replace the "o" with a paw print. I then decided on some really fun yarn colors that I thought Ashley would love. I decided on Red Heart Super Saver in Turqua, Pretty-n-Pink, Freshmint and Amethyst.
Mae's Chevron Blanket
As one of my first jobs I worked in the activities department of a beautiful nursing facility. I was a young, thought-she-knew-it-all, 20 year old and Mae was a (then) 95 year old darling who always had her hair fixed just right, her favorite pearls around her neck, and you never saw her without her perfectly applied bright cherry lipstick. Oh, the stories Mae could tell! Mae was such a beautiful soul and I will always cherish our chats during activity time. This beautiful Chevron Blanket (available in 3 sizes) is for you, my dear friend."
