One of the projects I worked on during the last Zoom meting/retreat with Chooky and the ladies was my crochet blanket. The one you see here on the left.
The colours here are not very good, the carpet is a soft green!
The one on the right was finished a little while ago.
They both need blocking to get rid of the curly corners.
I set out to make a larger version of the pattern on the right, but didn't enjoy the joining method I had chosen, so ended with a smaller blanket then set about the second one. Looking at them together now, I much prefer the version on the left, the second one.
They will both go to Grand son number 2 when he arrives next month.
I need to find myself another TV project.....

While I'm sitting here this evening sorting through my hand sewing and planning on getting back into that I had a watcher.....
Perhaps I was making too much noise?
Whatever it was, she didn't seem to approve.
LOL

And some very happy news.
My lovely Tony has started a new job this week.
It is a 14 week fixed term contract, but we have been told countless times...
'Now he has a foot in the door.....'
'Good place to work that, they keep the good ones....'
So fingers crossed these 14 weeks lead to more work.
What ever, it's good to see him happy and working, he has a spring in his step and seems quite excited by this new role. Thank you to all of you who asked about him, sympathised with his position and wished him well.
Someone heard you.

Both crochet rugs are lovely but my favourite is the one on the left too.
Hahaha! Kitty doesn't look happy !
You are definitely getting "the look" from your cat! Very expressive!
Great job on the crocheted blankets!
So pleased that Tony has found a job, that must be a huge relief to you both. And here's hoping it leads to a permanent position at the end of his contract. Are you having a little celebration perhaps?
Great news about Tony!
Oh boy, your cat is not impressed about something!! So good to hear Tony has a job, I hope it goes really well for him and develops into full time work. Your crochet blankets are wonderful, my favourite is the one on the left too.
love the crochet blankets... your edges are much straighter than my lacy look I achieved!!! haha...
Hmmm. you are certainly getting the look from the cat....
Yay for Tony and please wish him all the best... Hubz was redundant for 9 months before he found a new job so I know the feeling in the house....

So pleased that Tony has a job - hope it leads to something longer term. The little blankets are sweet. xx
I love the puc of your cat. They can be so disappoving sometimes and always let you know lol. I really miss having a feline friend. The crocheted blankets are lovely. You will have 2 grandsons too!
That’s great news for Tony. No wonder he has a spring in his step. The little blankets are both cute. I wonder what you will work on next? What did you do to deserve that look? Maybe she was just out of sorts.
thank goodness Tony has some work again......and yes heres hoping it leads to more work.......
the blankets are lovely........
Hi Lou wow hope your hubby does really well and gets a full time job out of this,good on him. Oh well love those crochet blankets you do such a beautiful job ,well done my friend,stay safe and take care xx
Lovely work with the crochet squares. I agree, the one on the left does look better with the joining method you used.
Great news re hubby's job. Good luck.
So pleased to hear that your hubby has a job, it must have been a worrying time. Lovely crochet finish as well
Here's to hoping Tony can stay on board. I am happy to hear he is getting his foot in the door. WE sure worry about our kids.
The crochet blankets are wonderful!
Please be a bit quieter next time....very rude to interrupt one's sleeping time!!!! That sure is not a happy cat. Great job on the crocheted blanket. You were definitely one of the productive ones during the party unlike me who just sat and chatted.
