If you read my last #yarnlovechallenge post, you may have gathered that I’m a bit laid up… but every cloud has a silver lining and my enforced rest has meant lots of crochet.
and a spot of jigsaw (ing!!),
but mostly crochet and cuddles with my buddy.
I have really made some headway on my Charming Harbour blanket . I hadn’t picked it up for a while and I was just beginning to feel burdened about the possibility of it becoming a long standing PHD. I am so glad to have pulled it back out as I have found the simplicity of hooking this blanket most pleasing lately.
Additionally, I have been thrilled to be taking part in a CAL hosted by Coastal Crochet. I found the CAL a little late in week 2, but I soon had the rows completed, thanks to my prescribed idleness. I have kept up to date ever since too. We are now in week 5 and this stash busting blanket is growing into a mighty fine array of mixed stitches, with beautiful waves of long stitch abounding currently.
I have still to make a start on the Granny Square CAL details of which are just here, but I still have another week until my stitches come out so I’ve got time.
Enjoy the rest of your week whatever you have planned.

Ooh, your charming harbour blanket is pretty. Lots of ends though! Your stash buster blanket is looking lovely too.

Aahh thank you…the charming harbour blanket is not my usual colour choice but I am loving it. There were loads of ends but I am now wrapping them and weaving in the row above as I crochet….so the ends are being dealt with as I go now. Xx

Oh clever idea with the ends… A much better solution! Is the navy a hard color to see when you’re crocheting into it or is it ok? It’s definitely very nautical, which is cool !

Julia, the navy can be a little tricky. I certainly need the light on in the evenings xx

I find that with most dark colours, which is frustrating.

All of your crocheting looks absolutely wonderful! I am glad that you have to keep you company while you are healing. I do hope that you are all healed soon, as I am sure you would love to get back on your feet.
