I am an ardent follower of Cathleen at http://mysewingserenity.blogspot.com

If you haven’t yet discovered Lucy you MUST pop over to her attic!
Years ago there was a telly programme called “I Love Lucy.” When you have been in the attic you will see why I, and many others, say : “We Love Lucy!”
Well, being there I realised again what fun little children can have with a little imagination and crocheted or patchworked blankets. So that is my new intent for the grandchildren – they will have heaps of gorgeous blankets to make into tents, story houses, royal cloaks, camping in the garden or flying away on a magic carpet!
So with that intent in mind I have been a Happy 20 Minuter!
Following Lucy’s Hexagon tutorial I am making a start on my “Jewelled Crochet Blanket!”
Unfortunately it isn’t the gorgeous yarns that Lucy usually uses – just the ordinary stuff from the market – but I don’t think They will mind …. do you?

Hello Val, this looks beautiful and warm, and the ordinary stuff works well! Thank you for all your comments. I am working on a ‘how to make’ for the bag. God bless. x
The blanket looks great – are you sewing them together as you go?
