December/New Year mood

 I started a new project at the end of December for a dear friend of mine. It will be a huge blanket when finished, and I will make a smaller one for me, in the same colours, so we both have one. It's always nice to have the time to knit or crochet and enjoy the outdoors in the colder and darker months. I find it lovely to enjoy the rays of sun that we do get, and the ever getting later, sunsets too.


A crochet hook, a small pair of scissors and various crochet squares in a white/ green colour. All of this is on top of a crochetted multicolour blacket.


I have 20 skeins of yarn for the project, and each skein seems to make 4 squares. That makes 80 squares. I plan to make an 8 x 8 square blanket for my friend and a 4 x 4 blanket for me. Over the festive period I have enjoyed crocheting. I also got out and about to experience the lovely time of the year.
