This photo is from about two years ago and I must say I thought today would never come about! BUT IT HAS! Last night I finished my afghan rug, so many nights beavering away until last nights when I looked at E and said that's it. And he agreed!
The rug is more than enough to cover me, an essential on these chilly nights.
I decided I wanted to fill in the gaps on the sides and ends and as I didn't want to spend more time than necessary on these so- called gaps I worked out I could do my own thing...
I have crocheted quite a lot over the years, cushions and toys, the odd beanie or two but haven't much to show for it as I've made them for friends and family, and I'm happy that I have done this. But this time it is just for me, and of course for E, not that he would use it as he doesn't feel the cold as I do!
I really feel like doing a celebratory jig around the block but maybe not! So I will just celebrate with you all. Isn't it the best thing to finish something you love, especially when it is something that has been an on-going project for a couple of years!!
I love it Mum - and so clever to fill in the gaps too! I can't believe that we have matching blankets - although I think yours is a bit bigger than mine! I use mine every single night so we can imagine we are snuggling together under them. Love you sooooo much. Love me. xxooxx.
ReplyDeleteWow mum it looks beautiful! Can't believe I didn't see this post yesterday - or the blanket!! Well done xox.
ReplyDeleteYour finished blanket is lovely and congratulations for finishing it, what an achievement. Enjoy the snuggling.

Thankyou all my lovelies thankyou all my lovelies for your comments! I'm so happy to have finished and to be able to snuggle in it. I use it at night to keep me warm as our little sitting room isn't ideal, a good fire but cold air from the next door room attacks my back, love to you all, Mum, Mrs A.
DeleteLinking from a comment on Stonenfruit Season, and I realise I have stumbled onto a family thread! Hope you don't mind a visitor frommScotland coming over to say hi! Admiring your lovely work and have had a look through some of your posts, particularly interested in your book recommendations, I always love a old book! X
ReplyDeleteI love visitors from Scotland coming to say Hi! Yes, a family thread, along with Kate from Greedy For Colour! Thankyou for your comments and I'm glad you like the book list. My overall favourite lately has been When The Cypress Whispers by Yvette Corporon. Kate loved it too and wrote about it and we were both so chuffed when Yvette left a comment on her blog! This amazing world we live in! Love, Mrs A
Deleteyes I agree, this is the really positive aspect of the internet, and linking and communicating with other bloggers has been a real joy for me since I started blogging in January.
