Wool Blanket

I gave this blanket to my son about 25 years ago, and then I put it away when life’s challenges became to great.

My husband had 3 cancers and prostate cancer took his life at 61 years which I feel was way to soon. I also became ill with Poly Myalgia Rheumatica an auto immune disease that inflames the long muscles of the body which is very painful.

While doing some reorganizing I came across a zippered plastic bag and discovered it was the blanket I promised my son. I took it out and finished working on the embroidery, and when that was finished I sewed the ruffle and the backing on the blanket. I am very happy how this work came out and glad that it is finished. I gave it to my son and he was very happy to get it, so now I can post the pictures of the blanket.

Knitting a sweater

I have been knitting the boyfriend style sweater for months and have finally finished knitting. Now I am blocking it so that I can sew it together. This pattern is called the Dotty Cardigan and designed by Stephanie Jessica Lau. This sweater was knitted with bulky Wool of the Andes by Knit Picks. It is 100% wool and the color is called Fairy Tale. It was an easy pattern to knit, but it is very oversized and long so it took a long time to knit. I will post a picture of the finished sweater once I get it together.
