World's Largest Crochet Blanket...
Ok maybe I have too much time on my hands but today I was thinking 'What is the world's largest crochet blanket?' and much to my surprise I found the answer on Google. Here's an extract from the article...
Val Stone, a Devon, UK,-based pensioner has made the world's largest crocheted blanket and plans to sell it to raise money for a cancer fund. Stone, a leukaemia patient, has spent 11 years making the blanket, which is larger than a tennis court. The blanket measures about 24 metres by 8 metres when stretched out and weighs about 90 kilograms.
The blanket, which is recognised by Guinness World Records, is a combination of squares, all different from each other. "Every square is different. No-one has been able to spot two of the same yet," she was quoted as saying.
You can read the rest of the article here. I don't know about you guys but I want to see a photo of it, (why is there no photo?) an afghan as large as a tennis court? WOW! And can you imagine all the ends and having to sew them in ahhhhhh!
The final question I have is who's interested in making an afghan that covers a whole 2 tennis courts???? hehehehehe. If anyone can we girls can! hehehehehe.
