How To Make A Minky Blanket

"I’ve decided that I’m basically a lizard. If the sun isn’t shining on me, then I’m cold. In the middle of cold winters I need either a space heater or lots of blankets. I’m usually wearing socks, slippers, a base layer, a top layer, and a cardigan. Even with all of these layers, if I’m sitting to work or read to the kids, I need a throw blanket on me to keep me warm. I’ve been given some really nice blankets as gifts, but they are often throw size which means they are just barely too small. I decided to make my own DIY minky blanket that would be the perfect width and length."
