NORFOLK, Neb. (AP) — A Miss Nebraska is hoping the blankets she made will provide comfort and warmth to children who may be experiencing difficulties in their lives.
Megan Olson’s project began last December when the 21-year-old made fleece blankets for several friends.
“It became an obsession,” said the 21-year-old daughter of Scott and Susan Olson of Tekamah, who is studying to be a veterinary technician at Northeast Community College in Norfolk. The blankets are made from two layers of fleece that are fringed around the edges. The top and bottom strips are knotted together, which keeps the two layers in place.
