Crochet and Knit Blankets. A Love/Hate Relationship?

When was the last time you finished a knit or crochet afghan? How did you feel? Relieved? Or maybe you thought to yourself, “I’ll never do something like that again!” There’s no doubt the time and yarn commitment required for an afghan isn’t for everyone. I tend to be one or maybe two afghans a year kinda gal. My motivation usually evaporates after that. You can imagine my excitement to find someone whose passion is fueled by making blankets, one little stitch at a time.

Today’s Guest

I’m joined by, Alison, the creative lady behind the La Reserve Design Etsy shop. Unlike myself, Alison is incredibly passionate about making afghans and she shares her unique perspective on why. This was a real eye-opener for me and I’m sure you’ll enjoy it too! She also chats with me about different types of blanket “constructions” that are great for different skill levels and we even spend some time answering the popular question, “How many chains” or “How many stitches do I need to cast on for a blanket of  size.” You won’t want to miss this conversation!

Alison

Allison is the founder and knitter behind La Reserve Design. Her grandmother taught her to knit at a young age and she has been working at her craft ever since. She loves making thick, warm blankets and knitted housewares.
