the sun is shining

Hello Dear Friends,
The sun is shining in this part of the world and there is a very light breeze . It is 24 degrees C. I am depressed. It is February and we are supposed to be having rain and cold. I can see that we will have water shortages all through the very hot summer which I guess we will be having this year.When I think of the long hot summer days I get more depressed. As a result ,I am not being very creative these days. I am still trying to finish my 'beautiful blanket'S' border.

 But my neighbor has been very busy. She finished a pancho;

and a shawl.

Work is calling! Have a lovely day.Gaia.

NEW WIP

Hello!
I have left all my works-in-progress to crochet these cute little squares in happy colours:

 When I saw this post , I fell in love with the blanket immediately. I am an admirer of Heather's crochet work but this was different. Actually I was inspired by this and was planning to make one for my Little Man but nothing goes according to plan,does it? After I have seen Heather's blanket , I realized that ı couldn't think of anything else. I went and bought new skeins ( I was supposed to use skeins from my stash but I needed cheerful colours) and I have already managed 140 squares !

It is such a pleasure crocheting these squares! In almost no time a square is done. The yarn is 100% acrylic Bravo Burcu .
Hope to be back with a ta-da! post soon.... Gaia.

My Latest Passion Is Knitting

Hello Dear Friends,

It is a fact that I cannot be blogging frequently these days due to work, but I am reading all the lovely blogs on my reader and sometimes I can even write a comment or two , too!
Long working hours are preventing me from crocheting and I am still working on my 'beautiful blanket' . I am working on the border now so it is almost finished but we have already started using it and it is such a luxury enjoying such a blanket.

The above photo shows my Little Man playing with his dinosaurs on my 'beautiful blanket'.

This blanket or the hexagons did not need any blocking; it is already like blocked.

Another thing keeping me away from crocheting , as you might have guessed from the title of this post ,
is  knitting.
I have actually knitted a couple of wearable baby cardigans, which I couldn't photograph yet, but here is a vest I recently finished ...

This is what I have tried to knit; I have made several mistakes especially with the yoke but it worked out and fits my Little Man. Later I  knitted one for my nephew too.
I hope you all have a lovely week! Gaia...
