the heat wave has ended. finally! we're still in shorts and flip flops, but even if the days are still warm, the evenings and mornings are getting chillier. so i made us a morning snuggle blanket.
most mornings begin on the couch in the dining room. and we've been trying to snuggle under this tiny crochet blanket, but it's not really working.
the blanket is made from squares that are pretty random put together from scraps. the blue base, the plaided bias binding and the striped background are all made from old sheets. there's no padding inside, i just left the background sheet double and that's good enough. alas, cheapest blanket ever, but it looks and feels really cozy and comfy. a few degrees less and i can make pumpkin soup. and then a few more and i can pull out a woolen sweater and socks. not sure when exactly that will happen, but we'll get there.
wishing you a happy and cozy weekend.
Lovely post - happy weekend to you too!

ReplyDeleteit's so funny to read you are yearning for cooler days when i'm digging out my gloves and hoping for a bit of sunshine... but i guess i'd really miss the change of seasons if i lived in a warm place all year round. so: wishing you some beautiul autumn days soon!
A beatiful blanket and I love the fabric on your sofa. Have a golden weekend! xoxo
