Winter Link Party 2017

As always I'm late to the party.  I'm happy to join Jennifer with her Winter Link Party.  I hope to finish the Cozy Stripe blanket this winter and to continue to use the abundance of acrylic yarn I have in my stash.


Little progress was made on it during the spring or summer months.  I wasn't sure if I'd even try to finish it.  When I started this blanket I planned on making it for my son.  After having worked on it for awhile I've realized it's just too colorful for him.  He's a much more muted color kind of guy.


Another reason I haven't been so excited about it is it's a very stiff blanket.  I am using a G hook and I'm a very tight crocheter.  I do wish I would have used an H hook but live and learn.  I'm not sure what I'll do with it when it's finished.  I guess first I have to finish it before I should worry about that aspect of the project.

It is nice to see the blanket growing in size.  It has out grown the tote bag on the right and now is  happily housed in the blue chevron one on the left.


I have a thing for tote bags.  I have two knitted and one crochet cowl in the bags by my chair in the family room.  I think I'm always surrounded by projects and animals.


There could be much worse things surrounding me :)

Thanks for stopping by for a visit, Lisa
