‘Wheel of Fortune’: Vanna White Surprises Ryan Seacrest With Crocheted Blanket She Took 40 Hours to Make
Vanna White has shown off another talent of hers. The Wheel of Fortune hostess gifted Ryan Seacrest a blanket at the end of the March 20 episode.
The cohosts stood next to each other on set. “We’ve got a question for you on social media from @taylor_rosegarden,” Seacrest told White. “Vanna, what is the longest crochet project you have ever worked on?”
White said that she makes blankets and has made many for the staff and crew for their babies. “Which I absolutely love,” she said. The game show host revealed that those blankets only take up to 10 hours to make.
She said that she also makes larger blankets, afghans, and walked off the stage to grab one from a crew member. “As a matter of fact, I made one for you,” White said.
“Oh my gosh!” Seacrest said, taking it in his hands. “That is beautiful.”
The tan afghan had a small label on the bottom that read, “Made especially for you from Vanna White.”
Seacrest wrapped it around himself with the help of White and he said it was “so soft.” He asked her how long it took to make this one. White said “about 40 hours.”
