Horray for 3-day holiday weekends! Even though I didn't do a damn thing, it was great having the day off yesterday.
We were late getting in to work today because my carpooler accidently slept in - I called her at 8:10 am to see if she was on the way and her husband had just woken her. So we didn't get in until 9:15 or so - I'm taking a short break now (it's about 10:45) in lieu of going outside for a smoke.....
Rose and I went to the yarn store on Saturday, and I bought enough yarn to crochet a baby blanket for a guy here at work whose wife just had twins. Maime and I thought we'd each make something for them so I picked a blanket. Not an ordinary baby blanket - I dislike the "baby pastels" that are so common for baby colors - why pick a color for a baby that the baby can't even see and, when they're old enough to see it, they are not attracted to it?? S0, this blanket is bright - it's purple, coral and turquoise, each with bits of other colors blended in, and you can see it a mile away. I'll post a pic when it's done. Although, I think I'll need to scoot back to the store to get another skein of the turquoise because I'll need it to finish the edges. I'm about half done - and it's very cool, I'd like to make an adult-size throw in these yarns.
Years ago, I started to make a crocheted blanket using pink, purple, lavendar and white in granny squares. I remember I had completed a paper bag full of squares, but I don't remember if I still have them or the yarn. I sort of vaguely remember that I thought I'd give them to my cousin in Roseberg to finish into a blanket or throw because she loves those colors, but I can't remember if I actually did that or not. I'll have to enter the nightmare room sometime and try to clean it. Maybe I'll run across this bag of completed squares and yarn - if so, they would at least make a small throw, child's blanket or baby blanket that I can donate to the hospital or something. They're always happy to get stuff like that.
Gosh, I'm boring.
