I asked Dayle to hold my Sweet Pea blanket up yesterday so I could see how big it was.. omg.. it's really long! I seriously considered ripping out a whole section to shorten it a bit.. but I think I'm going ahead and putting in the next 3 rows of green and finish it off. All the people doing this CAL are anxiously awaiting the border design by Lucy at Attic24, the leader of this project. Some have gone ahead and designed their own, but I am determined to follow Lucy on this and will wait for her go-ahead. Would you shorten it or leave it this long?
This little dog of ours is so cuddly! Dayle snapped this of me holding her. She happily lays on her back like a baby while you give her a belly rub and a chest scratch. We love her.
I saw this on Facebook and thought I'd share it with you - the photographer has his name on it. He said he did a 5 shot panorama photo of Multnomah Falls. How cool is this?
I'm scheduled to volunteer at the falls tomorrow but some of the weather apps are predicting snow again so I'm not sure what will happen. I'm okay with staying home!!
So, stay warm and dry and enjoy your day tomorrow.
((hugs)), Teresa :-)
Teresa,
ReplyDeleteMore snow? You guys really aren’t used to this are you? We had about three more inches overnight, but are getting a break this afternoon and tonight before we get another dumping tomorrow. We’re getting all of our winter in one week this year! I went to my doctors appointment up on the hill this morning. The roads were sort of nasty but I made it fine and even ran a few errands on the way home since I haven’t been out of the house since last Friday.
I would leave the blanket as it is. I think longer is better than shorter...but that’s my opinion. I like long blankets because I’m tall. I’m curious as to what kind of border Lucy will come up with too. She has some beautiful designs.
Love your valentines pin. “Life is like a box of chocolates!” Was that a gift from Dayle? And finally, your sweet little Mocha is a doll. That’s one thing I miss with having a bigger dog. Chloe doesn’t sit on our lap the way our Annie used to. I miss a dog on my lap while I knit and crochet. Stay warm and safe and dry my friend and stay home from the Falls tomorrow if it’s icky. That is a beautiful picture of the Falls.
Blessings, Betsy
The pin was not a gift from Dayle.. he doesn't buy me jewelry without my suggestions.. nor has he ever gone on eBay or Etsy.. lol. I found it myself. :-)
DeleteHi Teresa - Love your brooch, love your little doggie and wow that picture of the snow is amazing. I can’t imagine that I’d cope with being so cold but it sure is pretty to see. Xox
ReplyDeleteOops .. forgot to say I LOVE your blanket too. Those colours are so pretty. I’d leave the blanket the size it is - looks like it would cover a bed but it would also be so cosy to wrap up in when the weather is cold. Look forward to seeing what border Lucy comes up with.
ReplyDelete....and Happy Valentine's Day to you :)
ReplyDeleteMultnomah Falls is on my bucket list to visit after seeing it several times on Alicia Paulson's blog. Now I definitely want to visit when it snows.
Kisses to Miss Mocha.
Hugs-x-
Happy Valentine's Day...tomorrow 😘The photo of MF is beautiful, but the news reports make driving on 84 to get there sound like a bad idea...I wonder how many folk are driving there. I vote for leaving your blanket long, too. It is so lovely, and it will be fun to see what the edging looks like. I put some more rows on a baby blanket this morning and have made a few more heart bookmarks over the last few days, too. Love to you and yours! xx
ReplyDeleteI agree with Dee the bigger the better
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentine's Day to you Teresa! Your afghan looks so pretty. Leave the length it is if you wish! Can't wait to see the finish! Wow---lots of snow up your way and hope you stay warm! You pin is so pretty. I need to find one to wear to work tomorrow....and purple too! Take care!!! xxx
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentine's Day. What a pretty pin and your sweet pea blanket is looking great.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blanket, I like the long length. Looking forward to seeing what the border is going to be like. Love the brooch, so pretty. The photograph of the falls is stunning, a real delight. Happy Valentines.
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentine's day to you, love your pin, very pretty. Glad your dog is a delight to you, that's so lovely. Your blanket is looking good, a couple of ladies at the knit & natter group are doing it too. Some purchased their own yarn so they have a unique look. If you've only a few rows to go, I'd keep going. If you should put it on a bed, it'll look nice pulled up high over the pillow. I know some people like the pillows exposed (after making bed) though, we're all different. Cathy x
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentine's Day!!! I like a BIG blanket (I'm also pretty tall). The blanket is gorgeous Teresa - so Spring-like.
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentines Day. Your blanket looks so cozy especially in that cold snowy picture. Many blessings.
ReplyDeleteYour blanket is simply beautiful! So amazing that you can create that in such a short amount of time! And what a very lucky pup you have - so much love in your home for her! Happy Valentine's Day!
ReplyDeleteLove your brooch, your new puppy and the photo of the Falls. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteIm so happy your pup is perfect! I have a friend who is fostering and the nice boston terrier had never been house trained. wore Diapers. PLEASE! She has potty trained him in no time.
ReplyDeleteAND my survey link is now fixed. So sorry. Please come back to the post and take the survey!
Your new pup is a bundle of love. That blanket is so big. Absolutely gorgeous. And the heart pin so sweet. Hope you had a cozy day whatever you wound up doing. Take care and have a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeleteHope your Valentine's Day was a happy one. Such a cute pup that has come into your lives--congrats! Still loving the blanket you're working on and I think its length is great! Have a good rest of your week :)
ReplyDeletePeace,
Aimee
