The Killing Blanket

I've spent almost every evening over the last two weeks watching The Killing.  I loved, loved. loved it - even with its holes and dead ends - and can't wait for the next series.

I fell madly in love with the jumpers and am shopping around for appropriate yarns to rustle one up for myself.  I think I've worked out the pattern but won't know for sure until I start knitting.

Of course, I couldn't just sit still and watch the programme.  No.  I need to have something to do otherwise I can't relax and I feel like I'm wasting precious time.  However, I needed to watch the screen non-stop in order to read the subtitles so I needed something I could do with my eyes closed.  That's how this blanket was born...

Easy, peasy crochet!  Two big granny rectangles joined together and then a few rows around the edge to make things nice.

So, now I know who killed Nana Birk Larsen, have worked out The Pattern and I have a completed blanket!

The blanket is for sale in my Folksy shop.  Everything on Folksy has been spruced up and changed around today and I'm just getting used to the new style and layout.

Hope you all have a fab weekend,

I'm still here!

I've been away for ages and ages!  Time seems to be speeding along like the clappers with me scuttling to keep up;

• a look of 'I'm being left behind' alarm writ across my face
• one arm outstretched brandishing a splooshing mug of tea
• the other arm full of crochet projects
• strands of wool trailing behind me with interested cats in pursuit
• hair in disarray. 

I can't believe how quickly time is swishing past.  Halloween and Bonfire Night have gone.  Gone!  It'll be Christmas next!

I've been busy crocheting.  Although, I feel like I'm crocheting in treacle - really slowly and not getting anything done.  I have been turning things into FOs but it hasn't felt like I have.  If that makes any sense!  So, I rummaged through my photos and here's what I've done recently...
