I’ve decided to make a few changes to my latest Busywork Busy-V Blanket.
I’m using just 2 colors and making it a smaller throw.
It’s not as much fun making this throw (so far) as it was the other blankets.
The reason my enthusiasm is less this time, it’s been too cold and snowy for me to sit outside and crochet. 
Wishing you all wonderful weather
for a pleasant rest of the week.
I hope you all are getting in a festive mood. We;ve begun our holiday decorating. Last year, we had to wait on decorating until mid-December. We had some much-needed work done on our house and it was worth the wait.
Sheli enjoys the decorating and gets right in the middle of it. He has several toys that he gets to play with only during the holidays. He nuzzles them like old friends and wags them around like he’s missed them so very much. He’s such a jolly little fellow.
I finished Busy Work Blanket it’s 64 inches x 74 inch.
I really like the look of it. It turned out quite well.
It’ll come in handy during the colder weather to curl up in and watch some tv or read a good book.
Wishing you all an enjoyable weekend.
A few weeks ago, I decided the best way to wait for inspiration for a new project was to begin make another busy-work blanket. I had plenty of gray yarn. I thought it’d be nice to see what a solid color busy-work blanket would look like. I figured, I could work on it until another project came by and then put it down. About a week later I got an idea for that ‘another project’, however I discovered that I didn’t want to put my Gray Busy Work project down. So, I continued on crocheting my busy-work project.
I once again, enjoyed mindlessly v-stitching away, crocheting on the back porch (when the weather allows), or listening to radio shows or watching TV in the evenings.
My gray busy-work blanket will be finished soon. I’ve got the panels ready to join together. I’m kind of sad about it.
Hopefully, I’ll post an update soon.
Here’s wishing your busy-projects to be enjoyable ones!
For those not too familiar with corner-2-corner (c2c) crochet, it starts off with a triangle and then when you reach the width you want, you can decide to either make it square or rectangle. The above photo is a picture of one of my more favorite c2c creations, a scarf I made in 2021 using a block stitch. I used ‘Lion Brand Yarn Ice Cream Big Scoop Yarn, Lemon Meringue’. It’s so soft. I made this scarf in honor of my Mom, she loved yellow and lemon in everything. ❤️
Now back to my Wacky Wrap Saga…
I had planned for my shawl to be a rectangle wrap done with a c2c v-stitch. It took a while for me to work the pattern out to get it to look promising.
It took me a few unravels, but finally it was working out to be a pretty good rectangle. I was so happy.
Yes, it went along pretty well, that is, until I reached the finishing point and needed to square-off the end.
And then, no matter what stitch-pattern I tried, it would not square off. I unraveled it four times and finally decided to let nature take its course. I decided to stop at the end of the 5th skein of yarn. I ended up with a finished wacky wrap.
72 inches long – 1st side.
60 inches long – 2nd side.
24 inches wide.
It’s not too awful looking.
My sister just pointed out that that my wacky wrap looks a bit like a pants pattern.😂
I like it. It’s quirky and has character.
It’s so soft.
I’ve already been using it.
Wishing you all a successful week and happy crafting!
