Epic Project Completed!

Epic Blanket Project Completed in Time for Birth of Twins

Chapel Hill based Tarr Twins "Baby A" and "Baby B" still wait in the womb while the world bustles around them preparing for their birth. The nursery is painted, the car seats are properly placed, and the birth plan has been carefully constructed. Anticipating mother, Julia Tarr, continues to eat small snacks about 700 times per day to nourish the demanding needs of the growing babies. Proud father, Jeremy Tarr, studies hard at the Law School at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, hoping to "be the best he can be" for his children.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the state, long term friend and associate Dana Nagle, scurries to complete the blankets she and her mother Karen have crafted for the twins. The two blankets, each with their own unique color combination, have been lovingly created with a variety of techniques, including knitting, crocheting and sewing. The yarn selected for the project was a cotton/wool blend (85%/15%), and the blanketes were constructed by hand in both North Carolina and China, where the Nagle family spent several months in late 2009.

Neither Nagle can quite believe the project has finally reached an end.
"I just can't quite believe it's finally reached an end," the younger Nagle comments. All Karen can do is nodd in agreement.

"Sometimes you just get it in your mind to do something and you just have to do what it takes," explains Dana.

Friend and associate Frau Robinson shares the disbelief in the completion of the project, "Dane, I mean, I just can't believe you are finished!"
"Yeah, well..." replies Nagle.

The blankets are considered by the artists to be a "mosaic of colors and textures." While some of the squares utilize simple combinations of knit and pearl stitches, some of the square dapples in the arts of "cabling," "eyelets," and "faggotry," (knitting lace-like textures).

Blankets are currently washed and blocked and are drying in the loft of the elder Nagle's guest cottage. Both Nagles anxiously await the birth of the recipients of the blankets, which could occur any day now.

These blankets are so beautiful. Thank you elder and younger Nagle for your artistry, hard work and commitment. We are not bringing any blankets to the hospital and look forward to personal delivery by Dana when the time comes so that the Twins will go home wrapped in their loveliness.

Wow! I can't wait to see the finished product in person. Thank you and Karen for creating such a safe, warm environment for our children.

This post is hilarious and fabulous and the blankets are beautiful and fabulous. Those are some lucky Tarr Twins.

You could put a "Made in China" label on them!

You are fabulous.

Don't you just love it when a project comes to its inevitable conclusion (as opposed to being abandoned in frustration)? Lovely blankies to swaddle the Tarr babies in!

Hi!
You may probably be very curious to know how one can manage to receive high yields on investments.
There is no initial capital needed.
You may begin earning with a money that usually is spent
for daily food, that's 20-100 dollars.
I have been participating in one company's work for several years,
and I'll be glad to let you know my secrets at my blog.

Please visit my pages and send me private message to get the info.

P.S. I make 1000-2000 per daily now.
