My friends and I love getting together to work on crafty projects. On any given craft day, you’ll see knitting, recipe binders, homemade cards, flower arrangements, and more. When we heard about Knit. Pray. Love. with CURE International on the Mornings with Brant show, we knew that this was a project that we could work on as a group to serve an amazing purpose. Just a little bit of effort and love can warm some moms and babies in need.
To get everybody involved, the plan was to have everyone work on a 5″ garter square. I did the cast-on and bind-off and taught each girl how to do the knit stitch. I blocked all of the squares to avoid gauge issues, and then seamed them using single crochet.
In all, I think we had about 10 ladies participating. We got together 4 times and also worked independently. To get to the 30″x40″ size recommended, we finished 48 squares! Here are pictures of some of the wonderful ladies who worked on it:
I worked on the seaming over time as we got the squares completed. Here are pictures of the progress:
Then finally, it was finished! I’m REALLY happy about how well it came out, and I hope the mom who receives the blanket enjoys it and knows how much love was put into the the project.
