Cold weather work

When I got up it was 28 degrees outside.
Not so unusual for the Northern relatives but damn cold for South Texas!!


I busied myself by working on The Blankets It was a nice day for drinking coffee and snuggling under a warm blanket while watching TV. They definitely are warm !
I finished the third blanket edging and tomorrow will do a couple repairs, check all 3 to make sure they don't need a repair - and measure them against each other to make sure they are reasonably the same size.
This last blanket lays flat. Both the other blankets have a little ripple in the edging. It's not really ruffled, just a little wavy. Don't know what happened - that's just the way they turned out.

Monday I'll post pictures of each blanket and see if one captures your heart over another, or if it doesn't matter which one arrives.
I know I said I'd post pictures already and didn't....I couldn't seem to get all the needed parts in the same place at the same time, but Monday I'll have all my cords and parts and pieces together and will get them downloaded and posted.

I'm off work this coming weekend - so pick on if you like one - I'll get them in the mail Friday
or Saturday.

Blanket progress

I do not work by pattern and have been told that I can't crochet because I don't know the proper names of the stitches, so if I call a stitch the wrong name - forgive me, all you crochet people.

This is Blanket #2 with the edging in progress.




Blanket#2 size referance - a recliner chair.
Yarn skein still attached :-)



This is blanket#1 : edge completed. ---->
I had many squares that didn't match up on this blanket. Some squares had 7 rows and were next to a square that had only 5 rows, or 6. It was a job to get to a place where the edging was even and I could crochet a row completely around the outter edge, but it worked out and I finished off with 3 rows of no-holes edging of double crochet.

Blanket#1, size. It's on a recliner chair (duh) for easy size idea when looking at it.
Each blanket has a little different color scheme, so if you see one that you just love (family members) speak up so you can lay claim to that one.

The edging will be the same on all the blanket - unless someone wants ruffles??
