sheryl,

I responded to your email but I don't know if you received it! Yes, I'll post a picture of a lapghan made with pockets. I'll post it here, along with the directions.

Thanks!

New lapghans donated to Cozee's! Aren't they awesome! Thanks ladies for your hard work, and kind hearts! I'm close to getting my first 12 to get delivered. I'll update here!

New Lapghan

Just finished another lapghan. This one is 20x26, made for kids over 6. It's done is bright primary colors, although the picture doesn't really capture that. I've made it to number 5, with 45 more to go! whew! Thankfully, I have received numerous requests to donate lapghans, and once I receive them, I'll post the pictures here as well as on the website.

Now, on to the next!

Let it snow!

It's a cold Saturday afternoon and I finished with the housecleaning. Elena is playing a video game and I figured it was time to pull out the yarn and crochet a while. I opened the blinds to let in a little more light, and low and behold, SNOW! I normally keep the blinds down in the winter to help keep the house warmer. I had no idea it was snowing. It's January 13th, I live in Iowa, and it's the first snowfall! I looked out on the deck, and had to get a picture because with the crazy weather we're having, this could be the only snow of the season! Thought I'd share this!

New pattern!

It's 2am and I'm still up! I've written a new pattern for a lapghan, and I had to publish it the site. Computer is burping a lot tonight, so it took forever to get the pattern on the site. I'm surprised my hands aren't cramping! Anyway, check out the Cozee's page for the link to the patterns.

Have a great weekend!

New lapghan!

Finished number 4. This is done using two stands, light blue/light green, and it's done in the rib stitch. I think it would work for a boy. I did the rib stitch for the main body, and on one edge, I did double crochet to add more length.

Update

I'm just about done with my 4th lapghan, and I'll post a picture when done. Elena wants every one I make! She knows what I'm doing this for, but she likes them all! I'll be taking her with me when we deliver the first 12, so she can understand how this all works. She's all excited because she gets to give gifts!

I've met some women who are making and donating some lapghans, and I'll also post a picture on the blog. Remember, if you'd like to help, please click on the link for JJ Thompson Designs, and go to the Cozee's page for more information!
