Crocheting along ... a little knitting too

Progress on the current blanket from the previously resting stash.

I've finished both the lemon and mint yarns and begun working on the white border.

Following an old pattern for the border, so far so good amazing considering the main part of the blanket was improvised to use the leftover colours.

I'm liking the open work of the border so far as a contrast to the density of the centre.

Reading has been mostly about inspiration for a new crochet project and work related.

'The Granny Square book' by Margaret Hubert certainly has lots of fun squares to try as well as some interesting uses for them. Patiently waiting until I am finished the current project before playing with any new squares.

'Somebody Else's Kids' by Torey Hayden may just make my work life a little easier as I currently have a couple of students who have some serious learning issues.

The second sock is progressing slowly, though that could change now that I'm up to the heel shaping.

Joining all the clever people knitting along over at Ginny's.

Hope it's cool where you are.
