Dahlia Blanket Ta-Dah!

I am happy to tell you that I have finished the last stitch on the Dahlia blanket I've been working on for many weeks.  I joined in a CAL (crochet-a-long) with the crochet blog queen, Lucy at Attic24.  Thousands of other crocheters around the world joined in too! 

Lucy picked out 15 colors and put out two designs, a random stripe and a color wash one.  I decided to do an ombre pattern following her color sample repeat.  People used other colors, too.  Here is the border design, I removed the Magenta and Powder Pink color yarns in my blanket as they were more blue than I wanted.  So, I was on "Team Rogue Color Sample Repeat".  :-)

In Lucy's border pattern she used the two colors I did not use in my blanket so I substituted some colors but I like how it turned out.

Dayle picked a bouquet of our own daffodils for my new Cornishware Jug that I just *had* to have after seeing them on my English friend's blogs.  :-) The bright yellow looks at home with this blanket.

A jug of sunshine, don't you agree?

I put the jug on my little piano stool right by my easy chair.  A warm fire in the stove, hubby by my side and a furry little dog nearby.  Life is good.

I've picked up the Dune blanket I am working on for my granddaughter, Paige.  One can't let our hands be idle, can we?

We're keeping an eye on the spread of the Coronavirus.  It has me quite nervous.  I plan to stay away from crowds as much as possible.  I'm in the high risk demographic due to age and pre-existing conditions.  Be careful out there, my friends!
