It's been gloomy this week in southwestern Ohio..........I miss the sun...
Thankfully, I have access to clip art that reminds me of what it is supposed to look like.....blue skies, fluffy white clouds....ahhh, I can almost feel the warmth on my face. Isn't this picture bliss?
I really don't mind winter, but I do like to see the sun in the sky from time to time. :-)
Yesterday I started an afghan called Heritage Afghan from Afghans for All Seasons. I've been wanting to try this blanket for a while. It uses a graph and you carry your yarn along changing colors as you go. It is slow going as my yarn keeps getting twisted as I move from green to cream, cream to green, and then back again....This is the first time I've attempted this type of project. I do like a challenge, but I may get frustrated with the yarn twisting situation.....time will tell......
I hope you'll have a wonderful evening and the start to a relaxing weekend.
Joy for the day is in my sunny clip art and knowing spring is just around the corner...

I did enjoy your bright sunny picture..as we don't have any sunshine in NE Ohio either..In fact, I havn't seen blue sky for weeks, wall to wall gray. It's coming...Your afghan looks pretty so far..a good night for moving the hook..I'm going to go back and do that now...took a break....
ReplyDeleteI cant wait to see your new afghan... I already like the colors. You crochet so great! I crochet but usually simple things and stitches :)
ReplyDeleteOh your afghan will be amazing....looks like a very tricky one, all the best with it :)
ReplyDeleteHey Heather, that's exactly why I always roll my yarn into balls before I start a project. You never have to worry about it getting tangled, just yank and pull. Sometimes my ball of yarn goes flying across the room. :/ We've been having hazy days around here of late. The sun is trying to peek through the clouds today. Best wishes, Tammy
ReplyDeleteI do miss the bight blue and sunny skys. Lovely picture. The afghan looks tricky! You do such lovely work and I am sure this one will be amazing.
ReplyDeleteI hope the sun shines for you today! The blanket is going to be gorgeous! You always do wonderful projects, I love that you do large, involved projects, involving time and talent. They are truely a gift. You've inspired me, now I'm looking for a nice big project. :) Simple things are quick and fun, but I need something challenging too. Hope you have a wonderful day!
ReplyDeleteThanks ladies. The sun poked it's head out briefly this morning...nothing but gray skies now. Spring will be here before I know it and we'll be enjoying lots of sunshine then. :-)
ReplyDeleteOh I cant wait to see that done it sounds wonderful and I can imagine about the yarn getting tangled, I did a pillow for my daughter that used multiple colors and I had to keep dropping yarn and picking it up and it was very frustrating lol Good luck :o)
ReplyDeleteThank you Lynn. I haven't worked on it since I posted this....I've been playing with some "ideas". :-)
ReplyDeleteI also have that book. I like the colors you are using better then the afghan pictures. I also love your choice of yarn, my favorite. I actually rediscovered your blog the other night. I love it. It is one of my favorites.
ReplyDeleteNow I got to check out the peanut butter fudge you made. One of my favorites. Love you Eugene afghan.
Thank you! :-)
