Here are some of the blankets I made in the 90s. I didn't always remember to take pictures before giving blankets to friends and family, but these lucky blankets were photographed AND I filed them under "crafts." These are some of my best blankets, but I wish I'd documented them all. I will definitely scour my photo boxes to see if there are more that just didn't get filed. The descriptions of each blanket are under the picture(s) of the blanket.

This is a baby blanket I made for my nephew. You can see my Pop entertaining him. My stepmom liked it so much I made one for her "Victorian Room" where she displays it on an antique rocking chair. It's alternating granny squares with a large round, flower-like center. The red shiny yarn is solid and the darker shiny yarn is a variegated blue-red-green. Can't remember what type of yarn this was, but it would have been from Walmart or the drugstore.

This blanket was made for my other nephew. They are brothers. I liked the way the spikes came out, they look very boyish. I used TLC, so it's super soft, too.

Another soft TLC blanket. I was on a TLC kick for a while in the 90s. I think it was the cute little kitten on the skein wrapper. This was given to one of my sisters. I enjoyed doing the wave pattern in 3 different colors, even though she picked an eyeball-busting combo. The stitch looked cool, almost 3D, and it felt very textured.

My step-sister, pictured here wrapped in her special order blanket, specifically requested a two-tone green zig-zag blanket in size HUGE. Oddly, my grandmother (not my step-sister's grandmother, though) had the exact afghan (not so huge) on the back of her couch the whole time I was growing up. I get nostalgic for the 70s every time I see this blanket. Made in TLC.

I made this blanket for my niece when she was 5. It's done in stitch I.29 (page 21) that I found in 220 More Crochet Stitches (The Harmony Guides, V. 7).  I was going for "daisies in a field." The pattern came out a lot better than I'd hoped, since there is a weird jump in each wheel. Also TLC yarn. The white blob in the lower right corner is the camera strap.

This is a blanket I made for my Father and Step-mother out of TLC yarn.  I liked making it using different widths of stripes instead of all the same width.  I tried to pick colors they use a lot in their decorating.  In the winter, they like to put it across the end of the bed to keep their toes warm.
