Personal Blanket Project

    We are just shy of 4 months before Christmas is here. I don't know about you, but I tend to be a last-minute shopper, which I HATE! I feel like I am no good at picking out gifts so I fret about it and then at the last minute just pick something out of the things I'd been searching through. 

    This year I decided to pay attention and I started getting ready... on at least a couple gifts. Both of which I'm crocheting. I know I had posted about both of them before the gift for my mom is getting there slowly but surely, it's the one I spend the most time on because it is the bigger of the two. 

   This is what I have so far:

(the picture frame is an 8x10)

Please forgive the poor quality of the picture. You can't see the color, but my intention was more for you to see how much it's progressed since my first post of this project. 

    Again on this project, I did not use a pattern or any type of instructions. I just started and when I had enough to cover as far as I felt it should go I continued to the next row. With this soft yarn, I didn't want to make it with all kinds of gapped designs for one because the yarn is a bit thin, but also because all the soft, comfy needs to be tightly crocheted to cover you in it all. 

   There's clearly plenty more to go and I'm so glad that I thought about how far we were in the year! Now hopefully this "covid" doesn't ruin our Christmas. 

I hope you're all doing well and thinking ahead about what you want to get/do for your loved ones for Christmas. 

Happy shopping, crafting and Christmasing!
