Ha, Ha - that's a good one. Also a good thing you didn't miss spell any thing - hee, hee, hee. You might have knited it, but it shows you to be a QUILTER at heart. We do know how to make things work, and make some thing out of as little as a name, fav. color, etc..... You did good and I am sure your grandmother loved it.

Your grandmother's knitted blanket reminds me of the bank robber running out with the cash when the red smoke bomb goes off. Try running away that blanket! Or maybe we could start putting the chips like they put in dogs and cats to locate them when they get lost (or stolen.)
