I finished the double crochet "Lullaby" blanket with reverse single crochet around the edging yesterday. I'm going to offer it for FREE on Freecycle this weekend. I made it knowing that I wanted to donate it and I want it to go to someone who really needs it. It turned out nicer that I imagined. It is large. It measures 36"x 43 1/2". It is heavy & thick because I used two strands held together.

Here we see what I consider to be "the money shot." Yes, yes, yes! There's nothing more satisfying than looking at a completed blanket folded up, ahhh.
I must've had a productive day yesterday. The "Corn" wool potholders turned out quite pleasing after undergoing the felting process. They're still on the porch drying. Wet wool is not a pleasant odor. Yuck!
I also finished crocheting the Soft Navy & Pumpkin scarf. Just have those fun (not really) ends to weave in!
Shades of blue scrap yarn rug that I started months ago. It'll be some time, I imagine, before I break down and weave in all of those loose ends! The sad part is that I already weaved in many of them, plus there are ones on the other side. I think weaving in ends with a needle looks better and is more secure than just crocheting over them which I used to do. I want to crochet a solid blue border around this rug which will look nice. I have two other scrap rugs to finish.
One thing about me is that I do eventually finish projects started months prior. It's nice to be able to pick up a project that is already underway.
Yesterday evening I returned to crocheting a scrap blanket that I started months ago. It has shades of orange, blue and white. Some of you have seen it before in photos that I shared of me working on it at the park. I'm adding more white to it from a 16 oz. skein of Red Heart using my favorite red plastic H hook to form clusters of two half double crochet stitches. Taking a long time. I just want to make it wide enough to be a lap blanket. Its ultimate destination? Unknown.
