I am so sad this morning. We have just been away on a small trip, and when we got there my mosaic blanket was nowhere to be found. We stopped twice on the way there, and I am thinking my husband dropped it out of the car when he moved my craft bag to put some beer in the back seat. I backtracked but nobody has handed it in at the two places we stopped on our way there. I have just contacted the local radio station to put it on their Lost and Found broadcast, so finger crossed. It would mean nothing to some-one else, perhaps they picked it up and kept it for a dog blanket, but it mean't the world to me.

What we have to put up with in this life! I am sorry you have lost a treasure.
Be thankful that you can go somewhere and do something for there are some of us that do all the driving (just to medical appointments for we don't go anywhere else).
I’m sorry your blanket is lost- maybe temporarily- but to try to find a bright side, maybe someone who really needed it has found it and will treasure it. Otherwise, I would drink your husband’s beer with you and commiserate. I don’t mean to make light of your loss but hope you smiled and drank a beer.
Definitely a heart breaker Mary. Another knitter knows the pain of the loss is not just the mosaic blanket but the whole process. Picking the pattern, the yarn, needles if you need them etc. are an important parts of your blanket. So if it isn’t turned in, the next step “ will I start again”? Let us know if by luck someone turns it in or whether your next project will be mosaic blanket 2.
I really hope you find it soon. I had a similar situation years ago. We were traveling to visit family in VT and I was taking a bag of squares I was making in different patterns to eventually join into a blanket. Before we left someone took out the garbage. Yep, you guessed it. They assumed my little old plastic bag was garbage and it was gone. No more plastic bags for me since then. A big plastic tote bag maybe. Hope yours turns up quickly. Happy Needling. jberg
I had a fancy acrylic white shell afghan crocheted by my deceased aunt. I remember watching her work on it. I never used it because I wanted to keep it in the pristine condition she always liked. It was my only tie to her. My husband tossed it in the washing machine and dryer along with one of our king size $15 cotton Walmart bed blankets. It looked like a ragged dishcloth by the time he got done with it. Looking at it bothered me so much I had to throw it out. You have my heartfelt condolences….
Do you have a picture of it that you could put on social media, the way people do with lost cats etc? Better still, get someone with a lot of followers to do it for you.
