Hi Jeanarie and Ron, I hope you do not mind me sending this message. I want to Thank You for posting this lapghan pattern. I made one for my husband to take to his dialysis appointments. It was his favorite and all the other patients wanted to have one just like it. Unfortunately he went to be with our Lord in September. He had the lapghan with him at the hospital. Again , Thank you for the posting and may God Bless and Keep you Both.
ReplyDeletetks for the pattern. I would love to see a pic of the pockets and where and how to postion them on the afghan. I saw a lapghan with pockets with similiar directions, but she didn't how to postition them..what I mean is how far down from the top to sew the pockets on
ReplyDeleteI follow the pocket direction, but 9 rows don't seem like enough...
tks again for sharing
