2021 Osmond Colors Project!

Back in the 1970's The Osmonds were THE group to follow! Each brother (and sister Marie!) had their own fave color.

Alan = Blue
Wayne = Orange
Merrill = Black
Jay = Green
Donny = Purple
Marie = Pink
Jimmy = Red

For this special project we will be making 9" squares (knit or crochet) to make into beautiful, cheerful blankets for folks in need of a bit of cheer in Clark County, Nevada USA
Places include: Highland Manor, Mesquite, NV; Moapa Valley Middle School kids, Refugees in Vegas, and other places we find are in need.

Just choose your fave Osmond/s or any of the colors you love, and make as many 9" squares as you can! 
Some have asked if they can make "Osmond Colors hats, mittens, scarves, booties etc" for this project and of course you can! Just have some fun and help others as you do! ♥

Please feel free to EMAIL ME if you want to participate and what you want to make!

The SQUARES can be 9" crocheted granny squares, or 9" knitted squares, OR this is my choice of pattern below, because they make beautiful blankets!
