Ginny’s Grannies CAL Part 9 – We’re starting the border!

Ginny’s Grannies CAL part 9 is here and we have started the border. It’s so exciting, just one part left and then we’re done!

Then in December I’ll share the blanket you’ve made along the way. I hope you’ve been taking pictures, and if not, get some now! Be sure to share your pictures in a Ravelry project and link your project to the pattern HERE. That way I can see the pictures and share them with everyone in the December post. I love showing off what you all have created.
