I posted a preview of this throw on social media yesterday and mentioned that I wasn’t sure what to name it. This is a common dilemma for me. I come up with a pattern and can’t wait to share it – but then I get stuck on what heck I should call it! I received some great suggestions, and then my Aunt Liza kiddingly said that I should name it after her – and I thought great idea! And that is my story of how this cozy braided throw was named the Liza Throw.
I have to say, this throw is my favourite blanket creation to date! I seriously cannot get over how snuggly it turned out! It makes me want to grab a good book, wrap myself up, and hide from the rest of the world and the cold winter weather outside.
