Hi Pammy, So very glad to see your (beautiful) crochet on here again. Oh, how I've missed all your lovely projects! You are much too talented and inspirational to put down the hook for long. This 'ghan is soooo so pretty, love the bobble blankies and the hearts. The salvation army rant made my day. So true, beggars can't be choosers! You go girl dieting!!! Don't give up, love yourself! ;) PS Dr. scales are rigged.

Have a wonderful weekend. Oh, by the way ... I'm down 6 lbs. You're given me inspiration from crochet to back to weight watchers.

Amazing what you can pull out of a bin and finish. Glad this one is done. I always loved this yarn. Getting ready for our big "snowy" night down town. Yes, I said, "snow", this will be a fun adventure. Glad to be at a five star hotel and not have to leave.

I just pinned the pattern you used and was planning on making a baby blanket with some variegated hand dyed yarn I bought for the circles and a cream or white for the background. Now I don't have to test it out, seeing your blanket, I know it will look great if it turns out half as nice as yours. Thanks for posting!
