A tiny colonial blanket
GB worked for a long time weaving this tiny colonial blanket for our Colonial Unit.
In fact, he had to take a few days to finish it. I would have thought that he would have been bored by the tediousness of the weaving, but he wasn’t. He actually seemed to like it. I kind of liked it, too.
So I got to help out some, too.
Here, Godzilla Boy is pulling the blanket off of the loom (?) I guess that’s what you’d call it, even though it’s made of cardboard.
Here is the finished product. Usually I put his projects on display on our unit wall. But this time, GB has decided to use the tiny little Colonial blanket as a G I Joe blanket.









That will make a GREAT GI Joe blanket.
I’m impressed that he stuck with it. The blanket looks great!!!

Nice color choice for GI Joe! Can you imagine though, making blankets (or clothing) for the entire family this way? Well, maybe with a *little* bit better equipment! Working from dawn to dusk, just to keep everyone warm and fed, I’m telling you!
