From Ginny
~ Two of my favorite things are knitting and reading, and the evidence of this often shows up in my photographs. I love seeing what other people are knitting and reading as well. So, what are you knitting or crocheting right now? What are you reading?
I missed last week's yarn get-together. And that's ok, because it turns out that my plan of having the fall blanket done by Easter was a bit optimistic considering I was hosting Easter Dinner.
However, I did get the blocks completed and put together by Easter night.
I got the edging done last night.
And the finished blanket - TA-DAH!
It completely covered the top of my queen size bed
And now I am working on the blue and white blanket. I am not sure I will get this done by next Wednesday (the day before my mom heads to PA for the Muscular Dystrophy walk) but I can give it a shot. I might be able to make it as I will be sitting around all weekend waiting for horse competition results and should get a lot of crocheting done and this one goes pretty quickly.
As far as reading, I have a ton of books strewn about the house, but not much reading being done. I think I will just make a list, send everything back to the library and start fresh. I do know I will be starting 'The Screwtape Letters' this week as we will be reading that for our book study starting next Monday.
Off to Ginny's to see what others are doing!
Fantastic finished project. I looks great. I had to laugh when you said you might be able to finish your second blanket by Wednesday...I am hoping to finish my scarf this month...oooh, what a difference.
ReplyDeletethank you Natalie
DeleteI was laughing, too, when I wrote that comment!
Blessings and good luck on your scarf

Oh, Karen, the blue and white looks so beautiful: like an antique French piece! And well done on your other beautiful blanket, wow!! the size!! WELL DONE!!

DeleteYeah, I really like this one. However, my mom is doing the same blanket in different colors and so she suggested I do a baby blanket instead for this donation and finish the blue one and put it away for next year.
Means I might have a shot at getting one done!

Congrats on the completed blanket -- it's fabulous! :) I'm loving the colors and design in the new blanket and hope you're able to finish it by your deadline. Screwtape Letters...it's been a while since I read that one. Nice that you're reading it as part of a book study as it would be a good one to chew on and talk about. Enjoy!

Um, deadlines: I make them, doesn't mean I accomplish them!
DeleteAs I mentioned to Emily, I am actually going to go for a baby blanket instead now. That should be more manageable
