Camping Blanket ~ DONE!!

I am happy to report that my camping blanket is finished and to be honest it didn't feel like the marathon effort I am used to when trying to finish off a craft project. You know, when you can see the finishing post and you are hell bent on getting there so you end up sitting for hours to finish it off. Well this time, it was a more leisurely stroll to the finishing line. I hate, hate the last job of any crochet or knitting project that is darning in the ends! So tedious! But I can report that whilst sitting next to my other half whilst he was watching something violent on T.V, I went about my business of sewing in all the loose ends and there were loads!!! So in all its glory here is our new camping blanket:



Finished off with borders and a shell edging.

It is BIG ~ drapes over a double bed nicely although I wish I had added a few extra rows so that it reached the top of the bed better!

It can be used both ways really! And when we are camping we tend to huddle together anyway, so it is probably the best size!



I am happy with my colourful summery camping blanket and can't wait to use it now! The colours are bright and a bit more intense than I would tolerate normally but as it is for camping I think it is GREAT! Roll on the sunshine!

June Here ALREADY????

Well just a quick catch-up to say that I am nearly finished the camping blanket and hey-ho! ready to start embarking on the border!! So excited I can't tell you! I am planning a funfilled afternoon with a bit of hooky in front of the telly watching Rafa! Although I should be saying watching Murray but Nadal is more my style, secretly keeping my fingers crossed for him equaling Born's record of 6 French Open titles.

Book update: well I have been on a roll and can swipe off, Coram Boy and The other side of Truth which I enjoyed reading but would argue whether in the case of Coram Boy especially the subject matter was really 'children's' material. Well I am sure my next study course will instruct me one way or the other!!!

till next time ~~~~~~~~
