Well hello there! Remember me? Sorry I disappeared yet again. I'm full of excuses. First there was the torrential rain last weekend that totally prevented decent photo shoots for several posts I had planned. Then, on Monday, just when the sunshine returned, my gall bladder decided it was time to come out! Whoa. That laid me up for a few days (while the sun continued to shine.) Yesterday I finally began to feel human again! And, you guessed it, I woke up to gray skies and buckets of rain! Sigh..... So, indoor, gloomy photos it is! Sorry they will have to do!
Several days on the couch was just the excuse I needed to finish up my Spice of Life crochet along afghan. The only way to show you how enormous mine ended up is to spread it on my queen sized bed.....

It has found a happy landing spot on the back of one of our pretty chairs in the front room. I suspect it will wander into the family room on chilly evenings this winter. Seriously, it's big enough to keep hubby and I both warm!
And then there are the balls of leftover yarn from my blanket. What to do? I decided a simple double crochet (US) striped blanket would be the perfect way to use it up. And so I have begun....

Oh Ellyn, I'm so sorry you had to have surgery! I am sure working on your CAL helped you heal more quickly. So glad you are feeling better. I love your finished CAL. So bright and cheerful. I am plodding along with mine. Just done the tulips on the second section. It's getting there. So many beautiful blankets have been made. I love the variety. Feel better friend and take care of yourself.
Delighted you are feeling better. Nearly missed this post with your beautiful finished afghan .... Just fabulous its sew big that it can keep both your hubby and you can snuggle under it....
oh! Love the way your bright coloured wool scraps are growing into another nice warm blanket.
OMG! It is absolutely awesome!!! I think mine is going to be that big when I finish it. I only have the last treble rows to do and the border. It is such fun crocheting this blanket. I already have an idea for the left over yarns. I want to try making hexis . You should be so proud of your blanket. Well done girl!
