At last….

But more importantly, so have our rains. You know this is what I am always waiting for and to be honest, they have arrived a little late this year and that always makes me a little anxious. I am happy to say we have had a few back to back rainy days and they have been wonderful and I’m so grateful. We have a high water table in our area during winter so our garden is usually saturated all winter long and I have beautiful creatures like moss and mushrooms blooming everywhere. It also means I can now use my new queen size throw.

I have spent the last few months crocheting this beautiful throw. It held me during my down studio time and it held Riley too, who never leaves my side these days. I feel like some of my life has been woven into the fibers of each treble stitch, as it helped me process much of my life the past 6 months.

It started off as a small granny square and I kept going around and around until it was queen size. Every time I think I’m done, I sneak on another row. I have loved this journey with my granny’s old crochet needle and I have to say Riley loved the journey with me too. I think he might think this is his blanket now.

As for these colors - I’m stoked.
