Hookers Unite! I haven't worked on a project for about five weeks now. I made a small lap blanket for the relative of a good friend ...... unfortunately, it arrived on the day of her funeral. I was really hoping she would be able to receive it as I intended it to be 'from one survivor to another'. She lost her battle to cancer and I hook in gratitude for winning my battle.

During the same period of time while I was hooking the above blanket, my ex's brother died in a vehicle accident. I am still close to the family and want to create something to commemorate his life with his wife and children. I saw a video that creates a blanket that looks like a tartan. The crocheting component would be easy (all double-crochet) ....... but, to create the cross lines of the tartan, you weave yarn in using a needle. That part looks easy ..... my concern is that you have to tie off both ends of your weaving. If you bunch it up too much, its not going to look nice. Has anyone done this type of thing before??? Any suggestions??? Should I think about doing a different pattern??
