Yo-Yo Doll Blanket for Adelyn

I made this yo-yo doll blanket for my granddaughter, Adelyn. The yo-yo instructions can be found in this book. The technique is a good way to make yo-yos joining as you go, but I still was not feeling the love for this technique. I'm sure it's just a personal preference. I do not enjoy having to remove my hook constantly as I am working on a project. If you are a patient person (me...not so much...that's why it is a doll size afghan) I do think the results are pretty. :)

Hmm...somehow this pic got rotated, but I'll leave it here anyway. It gives you a closer look at things. :)

Miss Adelyn all smiles with her dolly and blanket for Valentine's Day. <3

She wrapped it around another of her dolls and placed it in this chair. So sweet. :D
