A Crochet Project and a Meeting with Old Friends.

I am currently working on a crochet project for the winter.  Can you guess what it is from the picture above? It’s a blanket and I’m making up the pattern as I go along. I’m using browns, yellows and fawns and it’s coming along quite nicely.

Then I saw a new book in my handicraft shop. The cover was most attractive and when I peeped inside, I could see lots of different granny squares. That gave me some ideas. I bought the book and carried it home.  I couldn’t wait to get started.

I made four granny squares and sewed them into the corners. Each one was slightly different.  Here’s one of them, just peeking out so you can see it.

Here’s the book.  There are some gorgeous designs in it. I’ll be showing you some later.

Today has been hot and sunny in my part of the world and I have been out to lunch with some old friends. It was great to see them again and share our news.  These are people I used to work with back in 1986 and until 1998 so we all go back a long way. Sometimes I like being old.  There is certainly never a lull in the conversation.
