A Winter Finish.
Posted on | June 7, 2020 | 10 Comments
The first day of June saw temperatures drop here so we really knew that Winter had arrived. Coats, hats, gloves and scarves all came out.
So, on that basis it was timely that I had finished my crochet blanket.
This is a pattern from Attic 24 called Sweet Pea. It is a very simple design but works so well with the gorgeous colours of sweet peas.
I followed the pattern for the edging as well with seven of the colours.
It will be a perfect blanket to be able to use on those really cold nights when you just want to snuggle up.
And I am delighted to have another UFO from last year crossed off the list.
Continuing the theme of UFOs from last year – I have got back to stitching Gail Pan’s Christmas BOM from 2019. I had been on track last year up until May, then everything went on hold. It was not deliberate, but I realised I had picked it up to start again exactly 12 months later. So here are the designs from June.
That means I am at the half way mark. I am hoping to keep the momentum going with this one, just like the crochet blanket.
It may be the start of Winter, but my trees are only just catching up on Autumn.
These two trees are the ones that were left after the third blew across the road in a storm earlier this year. Both are looking healthy and hopefully have strong roots to keep them in place.
It is a long weekend here, but with most people still staying at home, there is not a lot that is different.
Hope you have a lovely weekend.
Cheers, Karen

Your beautiful afghan will be perfect for welcoming in the cooler weather now. I’m sure the little penguin will be much happier too.
Perfect blanket to welcome in the cooler temperatures. Your little penguin will appreciate the cooler temps too!
The blanket is beautiful with wonderfully cheerful colors. I like it a lot. It’s great that you’re working on UFOs … I have too. But now I’m going to knit a fisherman’s sweater.
Many greetings to you. Viola
The crochet blanket is just lovely. Attic 24 is an inspiration. I haven’t done any crochet other than dish rags in years.
Wow, great accomplishment finishing your afghan! Just in time for colder weather, too! Nice time to pick up the Christmas BOM again. Yes, we’ve got to keep the momentum going!
Such yummy colors on the blanket! And I like the edging. Just enough scallops to be pretty, not so much to be a bother. Does that make sense?
I committed to doing the Sugaridoo Bernina QAL and realized, suddenly, that I had not started. Catching up in a week makes this the fastest QAL I’ve ever done. And now we’re a little over halfway, so I understand your feeling that it has a chance of getting finished. And who doesn’t love a finish?
Hi Karen oh I sure do love your crochet blanket and how wonderful you got it finished in time for the cold weather. Your little stitcheries are so cute and love your pretty trees,take care my friend xx
Beautiful crochet blanket, not a skill I have learnt to master, so I certainly admire yours. Stitcheries are always nice to do, aren’t they.
Your finished blanket is lovely.
Good that you are back to your stitceries, I’m doing Gails 2020 project and loving it.
Your blanket is just lovely and I do like that design. I have done a few of hers… maybe that will be the next one to order but I still have a kit here not started… I am doing GAils BOM this year.. and already well behind so its reassuring seeing others…. love those little stitcheries….
