Good and Evil Granny Crochet Block

My log cabin inspired blanket is complete! It’s much smaller than I had hoped but I challenged myself to only use scraps and skeins that were not being used and there you have it.

It made her well-informed but then she would look at others with skepticism and judgement without founded knowledge.

Two reasons why I don’t have Real TV boils down to 2 things. Sometimes ignorance is bliss and not knowing what is happening around me doesn’t make me live life in fear.
