Write a dating profile for one of your past finished projects.

Introduction: Mature, well-loved blanket seeks people who like to cuddle.

Stargate Blanket 1I was made all the way back in 2006 when my creator had less than a year’s knitting experience. She heard her beloved Mission Falls 1824 Wool was being discontinued and snapped up twelve skeins on clearance.

And okay, Mission Falls doesn’t necessarily hold up so well over eight years of heavy use and many trips through the washing machine and dryer.

Interests: I was created over a period of about a month as my knitter discovered what would become her favorite show, Stargate SG-1. So now my friends call me the Stargate blanket.

I also have a fondness for crochet, since my knitter learned how to crochet to make my edging:

    Hey, blankie, you’re kind of cool but… I like your friend. Does that cat have a dating profile?

    George Bailey does the exact same thing – that’s why I need a few additional blankets. The first two I made have far more character than yours (which is most excellent). Kitty is quite distinguished.

    Gotta love the cape shot in the boxers. How did you manage to get away with that? :)

    That blanket does indeed make a brilliant superhero cape.

    It looks delightfully cozy.
