Well, hope as we might that word that everyone hates just won’t go away!
I thought you might like to see the current progress on the Brexit Blanket, so here it is up to date!

Temperature blanket – the beginning
Having worked with three round grannies for the last two years I’m found it difficult to get into a rhythm this year.
Gone!
February is now well established. The freshness of the New Year is over and we are thankfully able to look forward to spring. It hasn’t been a springlike weekend here, though, with unwarranted snow, something that is very rare here.
This was the view from what I euphemistically call my ‘workroom’ on Friday. Saturday’s view was similar but at least the sky was bright and blue.
New this year, this little blue gem was a pleasure to behold, but his purple neighbours disappeared. They are visible again this morning as the last of the snow vanishes. It arrived on Friday and Saturday, stayed still on a beautiful Sunday and was almost all washed away by drizzle overnight. I hope you are all enjoying safe weather. Continue reading “Gone!”
The end!
There is tremendous satisfaction when something comes to an end … and it’s on time!
Do you remember the above? It’s the first Temperature Blanket I made which covered the seasons from December 2016 to the end of November 2017.

Transition
Christmas has gone, but 2018 is not yet over. Did you have a good time? We spent the holiday with family and it was good. I managed a little crochet, and thankfully didn’t have to hide it away to get my daily ‘fix’.
I currently have five projects that need finishing, and one will be almost there by the end of this year. It’s only a small throw, but I’m enjoying it. The colours are based on one of the Five Colour Friday squares. These have taken a bit of a backseat on the Web, but are still in progress.
Finished ..
.. and perfectly timed for Christmas. This granny square blanket has been quietly growing while other things went on.
I’m really pleased with it – the dark grey really makes the colours pop, but isn’t as harsh as black. Today another blanket begins. As before it will be a square a day for 100 days, but this time the squares will serve a dual purpose. Continue reading “Finished ..”
