Purple was a wee bit delayed for multiple reasons… First, I found a… snag… on the final row of blue. It happens, and frogging (undoing) half a row is nothing. Have I mentioned I love this Bernat Super Value for such a large project? It doesn’t snag on itself like a lot of the more natural fibers and when I DO have to pull a lengthy portion is not quick to knot itself as I redo the work.

The actual adding of this colour took longer than was expected, with the frogging and the house being in chaos I had to steal my moments.

Sometimes the best crafting buddy is more a table than a sounding board.

What I have found is that this project has become much like a prayer shawl. Stitch by stitch happiness and contentment is going into this project. I cannot wait to show further progress, though it will be more sporadic. My time frame goal is to have this piece completed and ready to go to the county fair this summer. Wouldn’t it be amazing to be able to send a ribbon winning blanket to a dear friend? Not that I expect one, just an opportunity I could not let pass by.
