I have never seen anything like it but know somewhere out there one of you may be able to help me bring something together. The challange is cutting the crocheted items!!! without them ravelling into nothing. Help! I can envision a quilt block with the blanket square in the middle. Any ideas?
I'm sorry but hearing "cut" and "crochet/knit" in the same sentence makes me sick to my stomach.
Questions??????? Are you intending to keep the blankets in the family?
If you are just trying to use them up, contact a nursing home or such. Maybe they can use them.
The only changes I'd make would be to possibly trim them out with additional yarn------------if you know how to crochet. Outside of that, don't alter them.
