Terry Pratchett/Discworld Blanket
Today when I was stumbling all things fantasy (feel free to friend me by the way, I love stumblupon!) I came across a great many things-one of which was a Pratchgan.
When a group of discworld fans on ravelry, a knitting and crochet community heard about Terry Pratchett being diagnosed with Alzheimer's they wanted to do something. Apparently, they decided to ban together and create squares for the Pratchgan, which was recently given to Terry Pratchett in person at the Edinburgh International Book Festival!
You can see a blog post right here about the experience of giving Pratchett the blanket, and you can read one of the letters given to Pratchett explaining the blanket right here.
What a sweet, fabulous project! I love it :)
