Easy Crochet Throw Blanket Pattern

When my youngest son  made his Christmas list this year I thought that I pretty much knew what would be on it. A couple of new t-shirts,  khaki pants, a pair of jeans, socks, a sweater. Standard issue, 20-something year old, college guy stuff. 

When I opened the email just after he went back to school from Thanksgiving break, I realized that I was right....

                                                                        ...for the most part.

Bring out the blankets (and scarves)

Much to my chagrin, cooler weather has arrived in Illinois. It's been raining for the better part of the last several days and that makes me think of bundling up.....or curling up.
