Year of Blankets/Afghans 2023

 Hello All , long time between post as life has changed since the passing of my husband 9 months ago, I'm no longer having to run around here and there which is still odd to me but All I do now is work and home, trips to the Post Office and Grocery store here and there and a little retail therapy, yarn purchases for various projects I am working on which brings me to the reason for this blog today. I was lucky enough to get a Saturday off which helps me get a blog post done as I am really too tired  during work days to even do anything lol

This year instead of starting and finishing small projects I have decided once I cleaned up the craft room/office here I found that I have 12 blankets/afghans in various stages of progress hence the title

So I have decided to try and finish as many as I can, I don't have pictures of all of them so I'll be posting the pics of each as I work on them and the information as to where I found the pattern and such. There's various yarns and brands I am using , most are RedHeart, Premier Yarns, Mainstay ( WalMart brand), I love this Yarn ( Hobby Lobby brand) etc. Now for the picture show and a video will be posted to my youtube channel

                 Onto the picture show and info......

Yarns used in mine are Red Heart SuperSaver jumbo - White

                                      Premier Yarns Sweet Roll - Frosty Swirl

                                      Crafter's Secret( I dont think they stock this brand anymore) and I Love this                                              Yarn from Hobby Lobby - Light Taupe

                                      Red Heart Super Saver Jumbo - Mirage

                                      Red Heart Super Saver Jumbo - Macaw

I'm into the 2nd skeins of each color at this time, The blanket at last measurement is 5 feet square

This is my current project, I'm going to try and finish it before starting back on the rest for now

Rest are some pictures of the other ones. I'll probably make a blog post for each one as I work on them

That's all for now, Progress updates once a week given I have the time

Thank you so much for staying with me considering the lengthy time between post, Life gets in the way most times

Happy Stitching and May you have smokin' needles.....xxx
