Yesterday went fine. It was very lazy but that's OK.
I have finished another stash blanket and . . .
This is it. All pinks, blues and purple/lilacs. Just simple old granny squares, nothing more.
I have finished another stash blanket and . . .
They're both bordered with black because, for years, I have had several balls of black dk that I find too eye straining to work with much. As edging, it was fine and it's pretty much used up now.
Both will be donated one way or another.
Back to normal today.
Classes restart with Groove and, as it's beautiful weather, Chris and I will walk there and back. This afternoon, Kay and husband are coming round to look at some work he might be able to do for me. Between those to, it is downstairs housework day! Has to be done, doesn't it?

Have a great day! xx
Those blankets are gorgeous, Joy, I particularly like the granny squares one, just my kind of colours. Well done on a great stash busting project with beautiful results. xx
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sooze, that's so kind. xx
DeleteBoth blankets are lovely and I particularly like the edging on the granny squares blanket. They would both make good charity auction lots. A couple of recipients are going to be very lucky indeed.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Annabeth. I like them both but crochet blankets are taking over the house, I made them to hand them on, one way and another, and I am sure whoever gets them will use them. I might make one to donate to the school fair. :-)
DeleteI do it to keep myself happily occupied and creative in a very simple way. xx
Love the purpley blue one and the black edges make it really pop. Well done on both blankets someone will be very lucky to have them. Enjoy the sun we are having in our part of Essex! Sally
ReplyDeleteI wondered if the black might make them too sombre but it doesn't, it brings out the colours, as you say. The sunshine is lovely, isn't it? xx
DeleteI love those blankets, makes me wish I had the patience for granny squares

I don't mind that because my hands are busy and I can watch telly at the same time.
DeleteI do sew all the ends in as I go - I things sewing the ends in is the reason many a WIP never gets finished but doing it as I go makes all the difference.
Beautiful blankets. The granny squares colours are just lovely.
ReplyDeleteThank you. It was just stuff I had and having enough black was lucky. Often I have to buy edging as you need so much more.
DeletePinks, lilacs and blues are my favourite colours.

The blankets are just lovely. The colours are very vibrant and perfect together.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Thank you so much, Jackie. I was pleased with how it all came out . . . xx
