And Then a Deep Breath

I finished and mailed Trinity's round afghan. Here it is:

After that, I promised a coworker an afghan for a wedding present. I had in mind that I could finish it by the end of April for the wedding. If you aren't laughing out loud by now, you don't know that I can't do a project slowly or leave one undone once I promise it. So - one week later - here's that one:

Phew!! Finished!! Now all I need to do is not to promise anyone that I'll make another afghan for a while.  After all, I have some writing to do besides mowing the lawn and spring cleaning.

Thanks for visiting with me,

Two for the Second Generation

Titus's big-boy blanket is finished. It took just over a week and is about 7 feet across. I made him a sunset to sleep under. He should be able to use it until he's a man grown - no matter how tall he gets.

I have one more section to finish on Trinity's blanket and the edge around. Then I can send them on to my baby sister's grandchildren. (Wow! That makes me feel old!)

In January of 1974, I made a round afghan for myself. It's still my favorite one - and believe me, I've made many. This is what it looks like after 40 years.

I'm obviously not going to use exactly the same colors for Trinity, but this is the same pattern. She'll be able to use it until she's old - barring any unforeseen problems or dog teeth.

Photo to come in the next couple of days.

Finished with Prayer Shawls - for Now

Here are those last few lap robes for hospice.  We had about three extra weeks and I couldn't resist cranking out a few more before they went to hospice.

33 and 34

I made another after these two and didn't take the picture. Les said 34 was the number for endurance, but 35 was the number for hope. I had to make that last one.

A couple of ladies and I volunteered to lay out all of the blankets for the Sunday service. We had over 350 to lay out on the stage, the piano...everywhere except the where pastor walks and the musicians stand. We hung some "from the ceiling" sort of. Here are the pictures of that.

One of our ladies made over 200 no-sew, tie-the-knots baby blankets by herself. Wow!

Next - big-girl and big-boy afghans for my great-niece and -nephew.

Thanks for visiting with me.
