<p>[QUOTE="Mary Delaney, post: 139252, member: 2000"]I have a good bit of experience with crocheting and I must say that the edge of the blanket says it is machine made. I'm not talking about the applied binding edge but the top edge. Dead giveaway. Also in crochet, the stitches take on a sort of V formation that I don't see here. Take a closer look at it. Also the binding is applied with a machine made zig zag or blanket stitch. Machine looms would not have any problem using multiple colors in a blanket, the sides are bound to cover up the raw edges. I would date it to the 60's or so, given the design and color used. Both popular in that era, especially with the bicentennial coming up in '76.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
