Going round in circles

There hasn't been much crafting here this week. My boy came down with a bout of tonsillitis on Monday that saw three days of high temperatures, night time hallucinations and vomiting. He is feeling much better now, except the antibiotics have caused an outbreak of oral thrush and the poor kid can't eat. What you can see in the phot below has taken my just over a year - I bought the wool at Bendigo in July last year when my cousin and I did our road trip to Daylesford.


I have finished 160 circles - just 8 more to go. Then all I have to do is put the squares around them, join them, edge the blanket and I am done. Shouldn't take long right? My aim for today, in between games of Battleship, Checkers and episodes of the Brady Bunch, is to finish the last eight squares. I will worry about the rest later.

    Can you remind me of what pattern you used? I think I really need to make one of these blankets too!

  3. Poor lad, I had tonsilitis repeatedly as a child - not nice! Hope he recovers soon. Your crochet looks very lovely all stacked up like that.
    BTW, I borrowed the Handmade Living book from the library - it was lovely to see and read about you!

  9. Just found your blog on Our Creative Space and I love the circles. Also have a bag full of circles that's in the car, handy for the moments you wait to drop the kids, watching them at gymnastics, I can't just sit still. Hope you get your last circles finished. Carina
