Work in Process - Shiny Flowers for Afghan Blanket

 Good morning,

The weather is (strangely for this time of year) quite warm this week.  And, just to make us long even more for Spring, the sun was out yesterday.  Catherine and I had a Girls Day Out and had our hair cut, then brought home pizza for dinner.  Such a lovely day!

I finished the Turquoise, Purple, Green, and White Bavarian Afghan Blanket that I was making last week.  The colors produced a very striking blanket.  It is now in the shop here.

In the image above are flowers blooming in a box on the dining room table again.  These pretty flowers with shiny petals will eventually be a part of a large afghan blanket.  It takes longer to work with this yarn because of its texture, but the extra time is worth it.  When I have made of eighty of them, they will make a beautiful blanket.  When finished, I'll photo and list it in the shop.

 What are you making, baking, growing this week?  I love seeing what you are doing.  A friend in New York State made sourdough and published a picture of it on Facebook.  Oh, it looks good!

 All the best,

Lois
