"No, you cannot pay me to make you a blanket"

14. What I have found is

from experience, people who gave my grandmother hand crocheted or hand knitted blankets might have been in a nursing home, or just elderly. The blankets are never really big enough for an adult in bed.

Rule 1: They throw all sorts of bright and dark colors together with no seeming thought to color theory. Have no idea if they have any idea about what colors go together or not.

Rule 2: They must be pretty fierce, because everything is knit tightly with no stretch. Serious tension.
Example: I had a couple of pair of those simple knitted booties with two sides(left and right) knit as trapezoids, then stitched together. Couldn't get them on my feet because they were knit so tightly. And I have bony little narrow feet that I inherited from dad. Dress shoes used to have to be Italian, because nobody else made triple As.
