It's almost finished!

It is 45 days since I started this blanket and I can't believe how fast it has grown. I also can't believe I have completed 154 squares in only 45 days! That is a testament to how interesting this pattern is to work on.

This pattern was originally for a cushion cover that I spied in an Etsy shop called Dada's Place. She has a fantastic blog at dada4you this blog is well worth a look. Since then a pattern has become available for a baby blanket using the same squares. Some sharp eyed readers noticed in last weeks blog that there was a yellow square in my layout, there is one yellow flower that I added, I just thought it would be cute to have one odd flower hidden in the blanket.

I still have the edging to do and will need some time to play with colour and stitches but that is always the fun bit isn't it.......isn't it? Hmmm well that remains to be seen however the excitement of a nearly completed piece always makes my thoughts turn toward my next project...........

Lately I have noticed rather a lot of crochet bags, is that my subconscious telling me I should make one or are there just a lot of bags in magazines at the moment? I do also have a Hardanger piece that got  temporarily shelved so that I could make my beautiful rug, but to be honest I don't feel inclined towards that at the moment, it is at a rather intense stage and I feel like doing something more free and creative. It's interesting how my emotions affect my choice of craft. Sometimes I love nothing more than spending hours of intense effort creating one special piece, but that isn't how I feel right now which means I have the rather indulgent pleasure of looking for something new to create!!
