What I've been working on

So I've had some questions regarding what I'd been knitting.
Here's the final project.

It's a super soft lap blanket with crochet edge.

I don't know about all of you,
but I just can't have too many of them laying around.

 This one is for the apartment in California.
I love the blue edge!


Hope you all have a wonderful Friday!

  4. Beautiful. And yes, I love throws too. My aunt knits things for me all the time, and my mom quilts things, so I have plenty of warmth when and where I need it. And beauty too! Yours is lovely.

  19. Hi, I love your lap blanket, so nice. I love to crochet and do a little knitting, but I haven't done either in over a year. I really need to get back to it! Thank you for visiting and leaving your kind comment on my Pink Saturday's Second Birthday Party post! I had so much fun designing this sweet table to celebrate Beverly hosting two years of "PINK"!

  29. Beautiful throw! Looks very soft - even in the pictures. I don't knit - wish I knew how, but I have learned to crochet in the last couple of years. I have really enjoyed that during our MI winters. We are currently in England & leave for home tomorrow. I've had a lovely trip but am definitely ready to get home and see my family. I saw you had made some similar comments in a couple of your posts. : ) There's just no place like home. Blessings to you & thanks for stopping by my blog. I added a few more pics from Bath - our internet wasn't working well the day I posted.

  36. Lovely blanket, I love knitting myself. Had fun exploring your blog and webpage, the mermaid excerpt was beautiful. It's been forever since I've given myself the luxury of escaping into a book and since summertime is here I need to take the time. Growing up, books were my world. Now it seems that although my children are adults, I have even less time to indulge. Thanks for the visit!
