It has been a great relief for me over the past week to have some rest time.
I was starting to get a bit run down and stressed so some me time was nice. I spent the days doing computer / paperwork and by dinner time it was relax time. This is what I did.
I sorted through some of mums yarns and started sorting... I went from this............
To this..... A beautiful chevron crochet blanket....

your chevron blanket is looking gorgeous.
glad you had some time to recharge and recouperate.
Fabulous use of your mum's wool. You have made something really special.
Goodness, didn't you get a lot of the blanket done! I love the ripple stripe pattern but I have never seen it done in this way, with the black(navy?) thin stripes defining the other coloured ones. Beautiful. So glad you were able to have a bit of crochet therapy.
Your blanket looks lovely, good use of lots of bits and pieces of yarn.
