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. Laughing 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.

  3. 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!
