Home > Bessies Blanket Club >

Bessie's blanket is inspired by my granny, who died at the age of 94 and was still knitting and crocheting blankets almost up until the day she died.
Her blankets were all carried to the local Oxfam shop where she hoped they would be sent to war and famine torn countries.
She watched the news avidly hoping to see a starving orphan cuddled and comforted in one of her blankets. I don't think she ever did, but I like to think somewhere in the world there are people who were indirectly comforted by my granny.
As Bessie was such an dedicated knitter/crocheter I have several of her blankets, in time I will produce more designs based on her originals.
The first of which is a work in progress at the moment, the pattern will be available for sale and will be free to all club members.
