Look what I made!

Here is the Snuggie I made from an old fleece blanket for B. He asked me last year for a snuggie. I began working on it and for some reason (start-itis) I set it aside and forgot about it. His Aunt Ri has one and I think his mommy does too.... so he really wanted one. I took a very large fleece blanket, cut some sleeves and sewed them to a slit I made in the fleece blanket. I then added the B of layered fleece pieces to be sure that everyone knows that this is B's snuggie. His cousin L is already asking when I will start make her's...hmmm... 

Next up.... The KORN Blankie! This blankie was a request by my friend Dawn. It is a double knit using 2 and 1/3 skeins of black Plymouth Yarn - Encore worsted weight and 1/2 of a skein of white Encore. This blankie is washable and dryable. 

Now, Why would I make a KORN blankie? Well Dawn is friends with Ray Luzier, he is the drummer in KORN and he will be becoming a dad very soon it sounds. 

Here is the finished front.

Here is the finished back, but I didn't like that the double knit didn't hide the white very well....

So here is my solution, I added a satin backing. 

I got a text message at 11:45 last night telling me that Ray was STOKED! Very excited for Ray, Aspen and soon to be born baby boy. I hope they like the blankie for a very long time. 

I am especially thankful to Dawn for asking me to make this. It was a great learning experience.
