(I posted this in the morning but just realized that i posted it privately!!)

Yippiee just completed my first ever blanket stitch...It's pretty loose so if anyone has tips on how to make it tighter, I would much appreciate it. Also added some easy peasy embroidery to the sleeves,, fun way to add your own touch ><

Just taking a moment to appreciate the #BlanketStitch, and how satisfying it is to just see the string pulling itself together when you pull.

I'm watching the recording of class I missed out on last week, before I have class tonight.

I also need to finish a queen-sized blanket before the end of April.... so I'm crocheting while I watch class. I don't think I'm going to finish it in time. It's only half done. Oh well she might end up getting a large lap blanket instead.

An embroidery for my folks’ 40th anniversary. Backing is improv crumb quilt, and once I found the bird for the appliqué I improvised the embroidery all around it.
