craft more

i really need to do more than 2 rows a few evenings a week if i expect to finish this blanket in time for winter.

crocheting same blanket for middle girl. it’s taking longer than i had anticipated but it looks great and the process is becoming a sort of meditation. not bad.

normally i would have put the blanket aside one night never to pick it up again, but this time i find myself looking forward to our tv and crocheting time. it’s going quite well. got a great book on new crochet stitches and am already thinking of the blanket i’m going to make for my oldest daughter who has more opinions on the matter.
i also ordered a sewing book so that i can get on my sewing machine and learn to make my little ladies rockin summer frocks. maybe i’ll even get good enough to make some clothes for myself.

working on a blanket for my middle daughter who is 2 and not very judgmental of craftmanship (i hope). my mom taught me to crochet many years ago and i haven’t done it much since then. she died last january and i find picking the yarn up again very therapeutic. will post a pic when it’s done.
