Last year was a blankety sort of year. I finished the first
half of the temperature blanket, started and finished the second half of the
temperature blanket, finished Cosmic CAL, and made 182 granny squares for the battenberg
blanket.
In between blanket making, I have also been making pennants for
outdoor bunting using coloured garden twine. I still have lots more to make
before I start sewing it all together (I hate sewing). I have also started a
body warmer/miners vest but I’m not sure if I like it enough to finish it. Last
year I started making little hearts as an anxiety buster, but also as a way to
use up scraps of yarn leftover from blanket making. I made David some
fingerless gloves and I made his momma a new hat.
This year I need to focus on finishing off projects. I need
to finish the Willendorf Venus that I started in 2018 but I crocheted her bum
on back to front and haven’t worked on her since. I cannot start a new blanket
until I’ve sewn all of my granny squares and edged them. I suppose I had
better finish the body warmer thing, but I have no desire to do so.
Patterns where I've used them are linked in the image captions, but a lot stuff has been freehanded.

| Using star stitch with chunky wool to make the body warmer. The stitch is great fun and very decorative, but this is three rows worth so it takes a lot of time and wool! |
