The Eastern Jewels journey has been a little challenging but I am so pleased I persevered and finally nailed it! Yey! I added the final border 2 nights ago and this is the end result...
It is a bit scrunchy as I haven't done anything to straighten it out. My daughter took the next pic of me holding it up and it looks a but stretchy in this one.
So, that is my scrunchy stretchy blankie.
I haven't been reading as much lately due to catching a bug from my grandson. I was laid low for a couple of days ( but still had to keep the household running) and it has been 10 days and I am still not 100% . My throat was so sore I couldn't talk much or eat a lot and I developed a bit of a cough and the throat is still a bit sore. My daughter still has it after 2 weeks , her mother in law now has it and so does my hubby who is hacking quite loudly day and night. He has it worse than I did ( ??????) I usually get over things in a couple of days but this bug sure wants to hang on. Anyhoo, I did finish a book I borrowed from mum.
Now I am feeling at a loss not having any crochet to do. Looks like I had best get back to finishing the hand quilting I put aside.
Your blanket is really beautiful. The colours are fabulous and you have made such a great job of the crochet. I hope you all feel better soon. It is horrid when bugs hang around for a long time. Hugs Christine xx
