I had computer problems when I was posting this so not sure if it went through. I fit did you can delete tisone.
There are so many designs I love from Shady Lanes. Teddy Bear Portrait Afghan and the Nite Nite Teddy Bear Afghan are my favorite.
I love the idea of such a variety of patterns. As long as it is clearly written where the remaining part of the pattern in the back of the book is, that would be fine with me. The granny square baby blanket is really cute.
I’m always looking for patterns to use up my extraneous yarn. I never seem to run out.
