Darning Diva: All in a Weeks Work

1.25.2011

All in a Weeks Work

It was my mom's birthday this last Saturday {Happy Birthday, Mom!} On Monday I decided that I wanted to make a warm cozy lap blanket for her {eek!} I fell in love with this pattern so, I bought 12 balls of Homespun yarn {in Tudor} and a size K crochet hook and got to work.

It took about 24 hours of crochet, but I got it done by the time she came to visit on Monday. Yep, 7 short days to make an approximately 50 inch square blanket. I think I saw smoke coming from my fingers a few times. It was worth it though.

It's such a warm, snuggley blanket. I actually miss sitting under it while I worked. Looks like I have more yarn to buy...

P.S. If you like what you see here, I'd love it if you'd share!

Rhyah-- said...: Thanks, girls! :) This was my first time making something this big. It was definitely taxing, but I really enjoyed working on it. Not sure the hubs will allow me to make another one in such a short time span though. A lot of things were neglected. hehe! :); January 26, 2011 at 9:32 AM
Katie @ BurbTales said...: That is some serious talent to be able to move that fast (well, or crochet at all, actually!)

Thanks for your sweet comment on my bathroom! I worry whether my cheapiness comes across as looking cheap, so it's nice to hear that the bathroom looks good despite it. Have a great day - Katie; January 26, 2011 at 10:05 AM
