A Round Blanket with Square Corners


Hello Again!
I bet most of you thought I forgot to blog? Nope! I've been really busy with family, the group, and VBS week at our church. Presently we have 18 preschoolers..60 children in all! What a Blessing..Praise God for this!

I want to tell you all about my round blanket with square corners..first its coming along quite nicely. One of my group members, Karen, came over one day and we sat for a long time chatting, crocheting and playing with my puppy, Rita! Ok, now you know she had to have equal time so we took turns .. I noticed something just before we ended our visit..first..well, I guess I began to notice when she first got here. She was on the same row as I was..so laughing about it..thinking wow, that's really kinda funny, we continued on with the visit..About the end of it, I counted the clusters between the corners only to find that after she counted hers, we were still on the same row! lol I thought that was pretty funny. I've never worked on anything at the same rate as another crafter.. until then..
She also brought me some Amish Bread starter..wishing some of my friends lived nearby because one day this week after I get home from VBS, I will have to bake some bread..would love to share the starter too!

Above is a picture of the blanket so far..as you can see its a pretty yellow with a blue stripe in it so far..I'm thinking of continuing on with the blue for awhile to see how it comes out..I've had so many nice blankets that the group has made. One of my members who crochets like the wind just knocked off three of these..Amazing talents and colors..

I wish you all an awesome week!

Until we meet again!
Hook's Up!

Sounds like you and Karen (Rita too) had a great time. I'm starting my round afghan over since its sitting on row 5. Found a softer brush acrylic/wool that I like better.
