Lacy's blanket Part 6

Lacy's blanket isn't growing as fast as I would like it to. I need to pick up 2 more skeins of the strawberry yarn this week. At Wendy's suggestions, I'm going to try to limit myself to one project at a time. Having just 2 projects hasn't been too bad as I alternate working on a project each night. I still would like to see if I feel better about my projects and their completions if I only have one. I do have to have a baby blanket to finish by June but I can whip that baby out in a flash, I hope.

These 2 blocks will be added to this block.

Happy stitching!

Lacy's blanket Part 4

I'm beginning to wonder how many times I will post about Lacy's blanket before it is finished. Any quesses? I must have too many projects or too much going on in my life. ;o I think once the blanket is completed I should go around the entire blanket with a 3rd color but I can't decide. Suggestions, please.

I now have 2 strips made and sewn together. I've started on the next blocks for the 3rd strip. The blanket is 50" long and I'm thinking it will be about 45" wide. I'm not sure about the width yet.


I'm also wondering if I would do better working on one project at a time. The way I am currently working on several different projects makes me feel like it take forever to finish something, kinda depressing. Tell me how you work on projects.

And here is a better photo of the finished shawl.

I'm still working on Lacy's blanket. I have a little over 1 skein of thread to still use on the blanket before I will need to pick up more. This picture shows the true colors of the thread. Happy stitching!

Lacy's blanket Part 2

When I started Lacy's blanket I wasn't really sure what I wanted it to look like but then I found this picture of a blanket. I love the way the blocks are all different sizes. Now of course Lacy's blanket won't look exactly like this picture because I'm using Bernat Baby Coordinates Sweet Stripes in Strawberry and I'm doing a granny square but it will be close.

Here it is so far.

I have this block to add to this row and I can call that row complete.
