I have been trying to do some "no machine involved" handwork on Sunday so that I can be upstairs with Mr. Books instead of the basement sewing studio.
There is a manager in the department next to mine that is having a baby and I am making her an afghan:
It is a corner to corner (or C2C) afghan using a variegated yarn from Hobby Lobby (I Love This Yarn, 5 oz. skeins, Color Name: Parcel & Bow).
I have not done a C2C in quite a number of years but I am pretty pleased with how the colors are getting mixed up.
This is not my "normal" baby afghan for gifts. . . .but I got bored with doing the same thing every time so when I saw the YouTube video by Jayda in Stitches (which dates back to 2017) I thought it looked like fun.
Now I just need to pick up the pace so I can gift this before she leaves for maternity leave!
In peace and pieces,
Sherry
