Shrinkage? Nope.

I can’t say I’m really thrilled with the Encore, but I do like how it gets softer & fluffier when it’s been washed.  I’m about 75% or 80% happy with the way this turned out.  The next one (which is on the needles now) will be much better.

    Your blog is great. The blankie is beautiful. Although I don’t agree with you, it’s clear you are a kind friend, a terrific mom, and have a good heart.

    I love the colors! It reminds me of an unfolding flower. Can’t wait to see the next one.
