A healing blanket

My cousin is not well so I am making him a blanket. He keeps saying he is very cold. I hope to finish it by Sunday so I can take it to him.
I am using style craft super chunky. Total of 12 balls. I hope it will be big enough as he is quite tall.
I call it a healing blanket cause I am maintaining positive loving healing encouraging thoughts and words in my head as I make it for him. When I work with red I think of life, the will to live. Green the solidity of life within the earth..even when it fades in deep winter spring always brings forth a new burst of life. At present he is in a deep winter but I hope the sprigs and seeds of spring will grow within him every time he uses it. Purple is for vibrancy for he is normally a very vibrant man with the ability to make all around him laugh. I ask you all to send your positive energies to me that I may infuse even more positivity into this just for him.

It is finished

But being typical kids I can't take amazing pics as I have to hide the mess :)
It more than fits a single bed nicely :)

I have to finish this today!!!

Procrastination has been the name of the game but today this shall change. I will finish what I started in order that it can go to the person it was intended for - my little one.
With the nights getting colder, I can no longer put off finishing her throw so she can be extra cosy
I really dislike threading in!!! Lesson one thread as you go

I am a baby afghan maker

Nothing more nothing less. As I complete one I look to another. This time I am going for something I have wanted to do for years. I will wait till I have more in order that I can show you what I mean. For now enjoy my pictures of the last project completed Wednesday of this week.

New project

Greetings to u all!!! Believe it or not, I have grandiose ideas regarding what I want to blog hence the silence. I imagine wowing you all with an amazing bit of literature interspersed with beautiful photos of crochet :) unfortunately,
1. I'm not that talented (re writing) and
2. I am too lazy to sit at a computer to blog... So I am using my phone once again 😊... As you will know from my title, I am working on a new project. The order was completed ...YAY...!!! As a result I am temporarily free to create something of my choice. I am making a baby blanket for Someone I work with. She is due to finish work at the end of November so I do not have much time. I decided to work with boyish colours and dull as they are to me they have a beauty of their own. Enjoy the pics and I thank u for all your comments in advance :)D

You remember my momentous day blog?

Well the person who ordered the cardigan hat and booties did not turn up so what do I do? I have decided to remake the cardigan. I started one in dk but it was turning out too big so I have gone back to 4ply. Hopefully I will complete it today so that I can go back to the knitted ripple I am making.

My baby sister just amazed me!!!!

She is working on a baby blanket for a friend. It is soooooo gorgeous it made me swear. I don't swear normally. Not at all in my vocabulary. Tell me what you think. Don't you think it is lovely?
