So we had 4 snow days this past week. While I was glad to have a little bit of time off, I'm shuddering at the thought of going to school until mid-June to make it up lol, ok not really. Anyway I decided to make my time useful, I got some housework done, some work towards finding a new job (we're hoping to move back home where our families are when hubby graduates from vet school in May), and then I decided to tackle some UFOs sitting around the house. First up hubby's blanket: he has been using the classic ripple my grandma made me ages ago for a while now and so I decided it was time to make him a blanket of his own. He requested that it be large so he could wrap up in it. I went with blues, all Red Heart Yarn: shaded dusk, spa blue, and soft navy. I used the Holiday Stripes Throw pattern from Red Heart (a flyer I picked up at the store) and just kept going beyond what it calls for, giving it a simple 2 rounds of sc as a border. That would be our 6 year old who just had to be in the picture LOL
Once I finished that I decided it was time to finish the pink starghan I was making for my niece Miss C. G. I had bought a bunch of Bernat Baby Jacquards in Berry Cherry (um yeah pink variegated) to make a blanket for my friend Amy's baby girl (still working on that one) and there was enough extra I asked C.G. if she wanted a blanket. She loves pink, much to the chagrin of my not so girly girl sister LOL. Got it done and she has it now, apparently she was snuggling with it in the car last night.
Then it was time to finish the scarf I had promised for another niece, the Pixie. Apparently she loves pink and purple (girl after my own heart) so I decided to do a mile a minute scarf in neon pink and purple.
more projects to post later, all older one, well except for pics of the two ghans in progress, including the one for Miss T.J.
