I’ve decided to concentrate all crafting efforts on finishing this Spring Blanket in time to give it to my mother on Christmas Day.
It’s not like it has to be finished ~ she certainly doesn’t expect it, but really, there’s nothing quite like a deadline, is there?
Also, I’m just not enjoying my other projects, because I know in my heart of hearts that I should be crocheting more of these Willow Squares.
I need 80 in total for an 8 x 10 blanket. I’m hoping that’s enough, but I’m not game to lay it out and look yet, because I’m not sure I could cope if it needs more, lol! I can always do a lovely big border :D.
– I have 22 squares to go
– They take just under an hour each
– I’m making 3 per night
– I will have the squares finished in a week
– And another week to make up the blanket
That leaves a whole ten days to finish every other craft project I have to finish before Christmas.
I mean, how hard can it be, really?
Oh my goodness! That looks wonderful. You have a very lucky mother. Have a wonderful christmas.
Thanks so much Missy! I hope she likes it ~ I’m sure she will… but I think she’ll be surprised when it’s actually finished. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas too 🙂
It is absolutely beautiful! I love the colours as well.
Thanks so much Poppy!
That is exquisite, it will be an heirloom 🙂
Thankyou 🙂 What a lovely idea, an heirloom
My gosh I’m so in love with the colors. It is going to turn out so beautiful.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO YOU AND ALL YOUR LOVED ONES
Thanks very much Liza – I’m still liking the colours, even after so many hours of staring at them, so they must be ok, lol! Happy Holidays to you too x
oooooooh! This is beautiful!!
Stunning, beautiful colours, am filled with admiration!
I love this blanket and can’t wait to see it finished! I have been so inspired that I want to make something similar after seeing yours :O)
Thanks so much 🙂 Yes, I can’t wait to see it finished too, lol! I’m at that stage where I’ve just about had enough, but I’m pushing through it, ha!
I had that happen recently with a project for a friend- it’s such a relief when it is finally done. And your blanket is going to be absolutely lovely!
The squares look amazing, os that a cotton you are crochet with? The colours are beautiful!
Thanks Janette 🙂 Yes, it’s a Rowan Cotton Glace – it doesn’t have a ply written on it, but it’s about 4 or 5 ply I think? It’s really lovely to crochet with.
Wow! Your squares are perfect!!! Avis x
