We are still enjoying our time in the little cabin in Maine. Yesterday Chris caught a 4.5 lb smallmouth bass. He says it's the biggest he's ever caught so he was VERY happy. I took the kayak around the perimeter of the lake so I was very tired but also happy. It was a beautiful day and we plan to do a relatively easy hike today to test out my ankle/foot issues.
Before I get to the crochet update I want to remind you that if you subscribe to the blog by email that you will need to sign up with the new email provider: follow.it Just use the box below. The old email service will stop August 31.
Vacation time has allowed me more crochet time and Thursday night I got to watch the Eagles preseason game so crochet season is officially underway. This is the blanket that I had to unravel on the way here. I raveled one whole ball and about a third of another. I've gotten the 1/3 ball restitched.
I stitched about 4 rows. This one is going slower because I didn't bring the right hook with me and the one I'm having to use is not comfortable. I'm hoping to convince Chris to drive by a Hobby Lobby next Friday so I can get a Clover hook.
I'm making more progress on this blanket and I'm really loving how this is looking. The last time I check in I was at the point with the red marker (circled in yellow).
I've done about 14 rows. It's moving right along!

You're moving right along on the crochet project. Wait til you see what I'm crocheting (much to the detriment of my hands but oh well). There will be a picture on the blog later in the week.

Your crochet blankets are coming along wonderfully. I can't believe it is football season already. It is now getting dark in the morning when I head to work so I guess summer is about over :(.
