Tale of two blankets

 I started Winter Wonderland in November of 2021...lets see that was 19 months ago.  

I can finally cross it off my list!  I put it upstairs to give away someday. Not sure who will get it...I will know when the time is right.

I used a 4 mm hook for the blanket and a 3.5 mm hook for the envelope border.  I used Stylecraft DK yarn in many different colors for the Winter Wonderland CAL.

Then I attacked these balls of Bernat yarn that I got at a rummage sale...for $2 it was too good of a deal to pass up.

I finished it in a couple of evenings.  I washed the blanket and sent it off to be used before I took a photo. 

It turned out great!  I like Bernat yarn for kids blankets as it is so soft and cuddly.  It also can be thrown in the washer and dryer!

Stuff

 I took some photos over at Spirit Lake.  

They added some resting benches along the lake so I sat a spell until the Deer Flies found me.  Oh those buggers can bite.

We had a quiet day on Saturday Far Guy putzed in his garage and woodcarved...he managed to cut a finger but didn't need stitches or bleed to death....how he managed to cut through a steel glove and a layer of vet wrap is beyond me.   He really needs to see a hand surgeon to see if anything can be done for the finger that had the severed tendon years ago in another knife accident....it was surgically repaired but was never really "normal" and is now causing him pain.  I just splinted it and he says it feels better. 

I am working on a baby blanket, hope to finish it up soon.  I finished watching Ozark on Netflix.  I enjoyed that series very much...I give it a 9 ...a little less emphasis on the F word would have gotten it a 10...and many of the night scenes were really dark and it was hard to tell who was who and what was happening.   Not sure what I will watch next...I think Virgin River has some new episodes.  

Partially done...it is further along now.  This is mosaic crochet and a variety of patterns from Winter Wonderland ( still in progress) and Geometrics...I wanted to use variegated yarn...not sure yet if it was a good idea or not but I am using it up! 

Far Guy cooked...Steak Enchiladas...of course the meat was left over from the last batch so I threw it in the crockpot for him.  I should have saved the easy prep for  a night I was cooking!
