And that is just what I am going to do as soon as I finish this post. I thought I would quickly show you the progress I've made on my temperature blankets.
Today was our Crafters meeting at church. I first worked on my current temperature blanket. After four weeks or so I am finally completely caught up. Now it's just one row a day. I laid it out on the sofa at church to take a picture of it.
I think I might run out of the pink I'm using for 80* temperatures. It's supposed to be in the 80s for the rest of the month.
After knitting the one row for today, I brought out Joe's temperature blanket and spent the rest of the time weaving in and trimming the ends. It is finally done and ready to be washed and then used. I laid that out on the sofa too because it is so big.
It is so pretty, but I wish I had made it a bit smaller. It does tell a story though.
Now I must go to bed. I am so tired. See you later.

Both of your blankets are beautiful. You do such a great job.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Linda!
DeleteLove both blankets. You weren't kidding about how big Joe's is! Still you did a fantastic job.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Debbie.
DeleteYour blankets are beautiful. I don't know how you could make them any smaller. Do I understand correctly? It's a row a day for a year? Wow, you have such patience. If I were crocheting, I'd have to make it a six month blanket. It would still be a big blanket. Maybe I'll give it a shot some day. You have a great day, hugs, Edna B.
ReplyDeleteYes it is a row a day. But with Joe's it was two rows a day to get the pattern right. That is why it is so long. Many people do a six month blanket because they get so big. You should try it sometime. It is fun to see how the pattern turns out.
DeleteThis is such a great idea and you have done a great job on both! Thanks for sharing the progress!!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you like them.
DeleteKathy, I think Joe will be warm from head to toe with his nice blanket. They are such pretty colors. Blessings to you, xoxo, Susie
