What a neat collection of mile a minute plus stashbusting crochet patterns. I really hate that as much as I crochets I seldom have any remaining yarn substantial enough to use for anything else. But this these ideas, I can make if nothing else a nice pillow that can be used in our play room.

I agree with worthgwen 0809160, the video on how to select colors with a great link. I love to tweek patterns so that they will work with my existing dcor but some patterns just need to be made as the designer intended. This video will be a help in the future.

Loved video on how to pick colors!

I have yet to crochet a mile a minute blanket but I think it's a really cool idea!
