No weekword participation from me this Friday, so here’s a blanket update instead.
The beautiful Ruth, who I want to kidnap and keep as a pocket pal, sent me a parcel of wool which arrived yesterday. Beautiful mossy colours and, bizarrely, the exact same purple yarn that Jackie also sent (exactly thes same unusual texture and everything – small world!):
Thank you Ruth for the yarn and the other bits and bobs too 🙂
I’ve managed to get quite a few squares made this week, and here’s a progress shot from yesterday:
I’ve made another two squares since that photo so it’s ticking along nicely! I took dad to the hospital today for his radiology consultation, and got a chance to edge some of the squares while I was waiting for them to finish poking and prodding and scanning him:
The edging is easy, and doesn’t require me to keep track of rows (which I struggle with unless I’m at home and can mark each row off on my spreadsheet on screen as I go along – it helps me work out how many rows per colour too). So I’m going to save the edging for doing while I’m waiting around at the hospital, which I’ll be doing a lot of next week. I’m glad I’ve found a way to make this blanket project more portable as it means it should progress a bit quicker!
Not such a coincidence really Emma – I bought a massive batch of that purple stuff and I sent some to Ruth last year, it would have been a bit too much for her project! Hope blacnket is going well xx
