Tie those fleece blankets!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I know it's been a while since I've posted here, but the last few weeks have been rather hectic and there have been some technical issues here with my blog that I have been dealing with! Hopefully in a few weeks my blog will have a complete new design to it with some fun additions! Stay tuned in the next couple of months! :)

Yesterday I finished a fleece tied blanket for a baby gift. Two different colors of fleece in lengths of 1 1/4 - 2 yards just creates a fun and snuggly blanket! Add a little embroidery to one corner with that special little one's name and it's also a unique gift!

I lay the fleece pieces on the floor, cut the little 1" strips and start tying knots. To make the knots look the same from both sides, I will tie one, skip one, tie one, skip one on the first side. Then flip the blanket over and tie the ones I skipped. This keeps the knots being tied from both sides and gives it a uniform look.
