This blanket I crocheted, It turned out OK I think. I did not get the sides as straight as I wanted, may next time I will. I found the pattern on the Lion Brand web site, and the pattern name is Wind Chime Afghan. If any one is interested in crocheting it.

Now for the fleece busting.as Tracy mentioned on her blog.
