A Blanket of Love

My lovely Mum has recently joined the knitting and crochet mad community on Ravelry, and she asked me, would I mind taking some photos of the blanket she made me, so that she could add them to her projects page. 

Having taken the photos I couldn’t help but share them with you.

I’m still in awe of the time, dedication and love that she poured into this project, for my benefit. It consists of 98 squares in 4 different colours and then pulling it all together by miles and miles, and seriously MILES (have I stressed that enough?), of grey crochet. I can’t even begin to estimate how many hours this has taken.

 I will start out with all intention of crocheting a blanket, but by the time it’s reached the size of a table place mat I’ve had enough. The ‘blanket’ gets put (hid) into hibernation until I find a new purpose for the yarn.

I love my blanket and I’m very proud of my Mum's achievement. Through the winter it stays on my bed and during the summer it’s to hand on the back of my sofa. It’s beautiful and very practical, and I will cherish it always.

Thank you, Mum.

Till next time…
