Phew!

 
 
Well all 100 of the main squares of my blanket are now complete...the second picture shows what yarn was left as I completed my last square, phew, more luck than judgement!
 
I've just a row of white to edge each square, I have however almost run out, so a couple more balls have been ordered. I must say, I was pleased when there was no postage charges. Once the white is done I can crochet them together. I will post some more pictures when it's finished.
 
Mr Landscape Man is coming out tomorrow, to look at putting some steps and a path down to my studio, I'm crossing my fingers that it's affordable, as it will make the garden much more accessible for me...where's Alan Titchmarsh when you need him! ;)
 
Hope you have a good week my lovelies, hopefully I will be back soon with a blanket to show, and a thumbs up with those steps!

    1. Me too Amy, spending money on steps isn't something I really want to be doing but it's essential if I want to be able to keep going down to the studio! ;) xxx

  5. Well done, your squares look so lovely and colourful! I hope your landscaping is affordable. Such a beautiful photo of Minnie, I can see the tip of her little pink tongue, so cute!

  6. certainly no waste with spare wool here how lucky not to have run out when so little is left, squares will make into such a cosy blanket. Fingers crossed you get your steps and path ready for the summer so you can enjoy your little house, mind you think you use it all year, presume you have some form of heat in it

    1. I know, I couldn't believe it! I've got a little heater in there Margaret, and because it's so well insulated it heats up quickly :) xxx

    1. Very, I hate having to pay postage when you only need a couple of balls, usually doubles the cost! ;) xxx

    1. Thanks Sharon, most days I'm ok but some days it's more difficult, I'm thinking more long term, whilst I try to keep as positive as possible, I also need to keep practical too :) xxx

  9. You have been busy with your blanket and Otto does look as if he has grown so much! I would love it if you joined me "Through the garden gate". Hope you had a reasonable quote today! Sarah x

  12. Hope your gardening news was good. I know the phew feeling, I had one yesterday when I completed my large blanket. Wouldn't it be lovely to relax like Minnie.
