A couple of days ago…after 3 weeks of working shifts on placement as well as working my regular job and juggling Easter holidays with the robins and studying until the wee small hours…..crazy, absolute crazy…. I had the day off!
Who would have thought that weaving in ends (millions of the things) could be so therapeutic… but it was. The warmth of the spring sunshine and the peacefulness of being by myself…the boys went off making all sorts of dens with big branches…close enough so that their laughter made my heart smile, but far enough to just allow me to breathe and weave in ends.
A busy few weeks, which explains, my absence here…it is so good to have a hook back in my hand. This giant granny is a long over due gift for a very special lady…who is patiently waiting. The colour way is delicate and pretty and of course it’s good old stylecraft special dk.
So, I need to get this wrapped and mailed, before the second wave of study hits…
Beautiful work!!
God I wish I enjoyed weaving in ends, no matter what I loathe it
Beautiful! 💜
All those beautiful colors almost, almost, make it worth all the weaving.
I love the spring colors in the afghan. Congratulations on completing such a big project!
Beautiful blanket. I love the colors also as well as Stylecraft DK. From favorite wool at the moment. All those colors…. 😉
You have excellent color choices. Very good taste
Even though you were weaving in ends which most of us dread, perhaps the feeling of yarn in your fingers is what soothed you after so much work.
So pretty. I have to do my ends as I go.because they annoy me too much!
thank you all so much for your lovely comments…I read every one and appreciate the time you take out to comment
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
I am also making a ‘giant granny square blanket’ and you are so right about those ends, there are millions! I TRY to weave in as I switch colors but sometimes I just want to do my mindless 3ds, ch1:)
Makes my heart sing! Lovely!
Absolutely beautiful. I tried making a dolls blanket and got so bored of doing the same old thing, don’t know how you manage a large blanket like this
I just love the rhythmic hooking that a blanket like this gives you xx
I will have to give it another try. Maybe with more different colours of wool
Do you have any recommendations for shipping afghans? I’ve found lots of information on how to ship smaller crochet gifts but I’m still trying to determine the best way to ship the larger items.
Thank you for any tips or tricks!
I have never shipped an afghan internationally before….let me know how you go xx
Lovely blanket! Not sure I can relate to weaving in ends as being therapeutic. 😐
