And what am I doing? Crocheting wool blankets.
I've been called crazy before, and I guess I've earned the title!
I proudly finished a blanket I believe I started at least two moves ago, maybe four....designed to match a sofa that no longer exists. It's mostly wool, about thirty colors and full-sized. After 12 years, it's finally finished! YAY!
Boy, am I glad that's done. It was hot under all that yarn.
Emboldened by my success and a will to clean out some clutter, I put some woobies up for sale on a little Internet concern. Maybe you've heard of it? Ebay?
And I put one up for charity!
The listing, for now, can be found here. So, spread the word--I want that one SOLD!
And speaking of spreading the Word, with a capital, "W," my entry for today's EIM. For "lamp" I have chosen the everlasting light that breaks the darkness, the great I AM:
(AND I'm getting it in on Monday! HA!)
I thank you for stopping by, I appreciate the company. I have been blessed this past year with meeting such lovely folks all over the planet! I am feeling much more philosophical than time really allows me today, but my life is richer because of you!
Thank you!
Great blankets! I spotted your inchie and I love it ~ You are the light of the world ~ !
ReplyDeleteBlessings to you, Karen
I adore the blankets! I am sorry that they were hot and that it is HOT there. I do also love the inchie what an awesome take on the theme. But I am most intrigued by the fact that you had 30 colors and 12 years into the first blanket! I would love to see the couch that inspired it!
ReplyDeleteWell done on finishing the blankets, it took me a long time to do a patchwork cover with 1" hexagons so I can relate to time scales! Hope your temperatures start to drop soon, we start our return to Scotland tomorrow so I know I'm heading back to heating & hot water bottles :-(

Wow, you can crochet and all. I always say that I don't do the only useful, practical crafts - knitting and crocheting lol Like your twist on the inchie.
ReplyDeleteOh it sounds too hot for blanket making but yours is wonderful and so is your inchie

I can also relate to your blanket story. I worked on an afghan for 17 years before declaring it DONE. First and last crocheted afghan.
ReplyDeleteLove your inchie!
Yes, we must be crazy working with wool in this heat. I just finished a very long double loop cowl that I crochet in wool. It will be nice in the winter though. Your blanket it beautiful and worth the wait, I'm sure. Great inchie too :)
ReplyDeleteyou are crazy to be crocheting in all that heat - personally, I'm knitting. lol. I took over 30 years to finish a blanket recently - now to find someone who wants it. well done artwork.
