At last!
I started this blanket waaaay back at the beginning of May. It wouldn't have taken so long, but I overdid something and an RSI settled into my left wrist. Well that slowed down everything.
But I did notice a couple of weeks ago, that my wrist is finally getting stronger again and thought I might try my crochet. At one point I couldn't even hold my work without pain. Finally I was back to being able to do just a little. So slowly, very slowly I was able to complete this wee blanket.
Two rows, or one colour per night.
I only had four colours left to do!
Then the borders, half a round a night.
Finally I finished it over the weekend.
That's it done. It is a good size for a single/twin bed. Tony wants to keep it. He thinks we should keep pretty much everything I make. I'm not so sure, I had intended to sell it at a craft market, but changes in our working schedules means that we three girls don't get to do those any more. Maybe I'll pop it on a local facebook page and see what happens.

So what now? Well I've already started knitting a sweater for Grandson Floki. Slowly, just a couple of rows here and there. Want to look after my wrist now that it is feeling a bit better.
I'm also continuing to cut 2.5 inch squares, they are coming along slowly too, though I have found that if I hold down my ruler in a certain way, it's good physio therapy for my weak wrist, so long as I don't do too much.
The garden of course is taking up quite a bit of our time at the moment, I'll take and share some pictures another day.

It’s turned out beautifully. I’m so pleased that your wrist is starting to improve. Continue to look after it.
Such a lovely blanket. I've never learnt to crochet so always admire those who can do this craft.
Your blanket looks great. Lovely to see it finished. And more importantly, lovely that you are able to crochet again.
It's beautiful, and good news about your wrist
