I've been working on this throw blanket on and off for years now. It started as a project to use up a huge bag of old yarn my Mom gave me, but then it turned out that I didn't have enough yarn to make it as big as I wanted... so I ordered more yarn to use up!
The blanket is almost long enough to be used but still needs another 18 inches or so to be good for full winter coverage. I got a lot of the orange yarn for a good price so I am going to have a lot of orange on it.
The cats enjoy helping me with this project as it is very comfortable to lay on while I knit the working end of the blanket.
The newest stripe will be knit with one roll of orange and one of purple. Doubling up ther yarn is making for a thick and soft blanket.
Over the weekend we went to a party with a bunch of kids and I ran the crafting to keep them busy. We ended up taking home some half done ornaments from the craft table. So I finished them last night and hung them around the house.
As I told 
No other news lately, knitting has become a great way for me to fall asleep, so I haven't been doing it as much as I was last spring.
Happy #needleworkmonday
