Here is a picture of the same daffs that were in last week's post. Look how happy they are this week, without all that nasty snow and ice. I just love Spring, mainly because it is the END of WINTER!
I also signed up for a couple more sections of a book with Librivox. I completed the chapters I was recording of The Scarlet Letter, and am now working on a chunk of Tom Jones. It's a lot of fun, if you call cursing at your computer screen fun. There definitely is a learning curve with the recording software, and lets just say that I have not yet successfully navigated the highway. Still, I am really enjoying listening to the books on my iPod, (Pride and Prejudice and Emma, so far) and am sure that recording will be fun, too, eventually.
Mellie had a very good week this week. The warmer weather helps. Well...it helps me, so I have to assume it helps her! Many, many thanks to everyone who is sending positive energy and good wishes her (our) way.

GO Mellie! In addition to the Good Thoughts I am sending to her, I am also sending "Good Thoughts" for finishing the pink blanket ;)
If the "pink blanket" is to be the Alphabet Blanket- don't let the edging scare you! This blanket was so easy and fast (granted, I was home every day for 2 weeks so I got huge chunks of it done) and the border is NOT hard! Each side is done separately, only 12 rows of chart then the triangles. I used a dpn for the side of the triangles that are on the needle so I wouldn't have to hold a heavy needle for 1-8 sts, but it went really fast. Each side would probably take about 3 hours...give or take interruptions. If this is the blanket let me know if you have any questions. If it is for a different blanket...ignore this comment LOL. :)
Gorgeous blanket, picture like that get me into trouble. Why not doa crab stitch crochet border around the pink blanket, it's easy. quick & can easily be redone since the edges of blankies seem to get the most wear, I know it isn't fancy but it's durable.
Cool blankie! I'm still working on my blankie too. :)
