We had a beautiful weekend, and Easter Sunday was glorious... the perfect day for spending time with family!
It was also a weekend filled with cleaning and crafting. There's something about beautiful spring days the give me the energy to spruce up the house.
Of course I allowed myself lots of reward time for crafting!
Rigo asked if I could make something for his six month old sister. He liked the idea of a snuggle blanket, so I crocheted one in waffle stitch, using up pinks and yellow from hats I made for the high school girls.
Tonya really liked this Sweet Dijon color from I Love This Yarn. I've moved on from hats, so it took me several days to complete this one. Tonya has admired the hats from the beginning, but has been hesitant to ask for one. I think she just hadn't seen a color that appealed to her until now.
I still have a lot of leftover yarn from the hats, so I've started working up circle in a square grannies. They're really quite easy to make, and I can crochet one in about a half hour. They're about 5 1/2", so this will be a blanket that works up quickly.
Busy as usual, Diane!!!!
ReplyDeleteAvoiding unnecessary housework, Jane! ;-)
