Most of you who follow my blog know that in the past I have been very active in knitting for charity, but it seems I may have burned myself out a bit. I did make a commitment to finish a blanket for my grandson for Christmas that I started many a year ago.
The crogheted pattern is called "Make it quick afghan" Well, it was slow going for me. I guess maybe if I would have stuck with it and not taken a break it would have helped because every time I picked it back up I had to learn the pattern all over again and then when I thought I had enough panels and went to sew them together I realized that they weren't all the same size!!
So I had to rip out four or five and start them over....

The finished product. Now to find a Christmas bag big enough to hold it:)
I also have knitted a couple of small gifts for the Granddaughter...A cowl and some boot toppers.
I enjoyed crocheting again so maybe I will start back with my baby chairty and make some of it in that as well as knitting.
"It is not good to have idle hands"
An excellent finish that will bring lots of happiness to your grandson.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I am sure he will love it. I have some of that yarn to make a floppy winter hat...
ReplyDeleteI am working on The DOVE project that Nancy talked about on her blog. I have never crocheted with tiny thread before:)
Yeah, I've done that before...put the project aside and had to learn it over again. It does seem to drag on when I do that. Which reminds me, I have a couple of unfinished projects to get back to...one day.
ReplyDeleteLovely blanket!
That is gorgeous! How did you ever hold it while increasing it?
