Progress on Blankets and New Project

Here is an update on what I've been working on. First... my Giant Granny CAL...Here is a pic from the last time I updated my progress...
Here is what it looks like now...
It's growing! I haven't counted the rows yet bu I still have a ways to go!


Now my Blues Granny Stripe...before...
...and here it is now!

I ran out of yarn so I had to stop and order more. It's on its way! Yay! Now, I had to start a new project of course...
This is a very delicate yarn with sequins! This will be a scarf when it grows up. I can't get a good picture of the pretty sequins but..this will be a beautiful, dressy scarf.
I haven't raveled it yet but when I do I will let you know. It is so fun working with this yarn. It's so light and it has mohair in it.Kind of a challenge for me since I'm used to working on blankets. I'll keep you posted on my progress. I hope to have more projects with different yarns like kid silk, alpaca, etc. My next project will be a lacy shawl. I'm so excited! The scarf is practice for me before I tackle the really HARD stuff! I hope you all have a great weekend and I do appreciate all of your sweet comments! Pin It

    Thanks for commenting on my blog. I added you to my blog list. I really enjoy your work. You are closer to me than most of the blogs I read. I live in Iowa. Maybe we could meet someday at a crafter's show. Talk to you soon.

    Love the colors of both your blankets! Great inspiration to keep working on my big blanket too (I've been getting distracted with lots of small projects and letting it wait). Really pretty!
