Yesterday was Knit & natter evening. We meet fortnightly to knit, crochet, admire each other's work, gossip, bring new patterns to drool over, drink coffee and, the ones with the least will-power, will indulge in a slice of cake or creamy dessert. It is a fun evening and I am always looking forward to it. Unfortunately, I can't say that I make huge progress during these sessions as I am usually too busy listening to the news or admiring new patterns books... Last night I took with me my blanket, telling myself that I don't need to concentrate so much with a crochet project.
This is the said blanket yesterday afternoon before the Knit & natter evening... It is becoming quite big and is not the most discreet thing to transport! But I love it and can't part with it at the moment. So I took it along with me in my big round basket.... As predicted, I only managed to complete one colour stripe....
One stripe during such a fantastic sounding evening is a lot in my opinion - and your blanket looks indeed very wide and big. I am only managing one stripe per evening, too, and my blanket has in no way so many stitches, nor am I am distracted by lovely conversation. How I envy you for this great evenings and how I admire your rappidly growing colourful blanket.
PS: I also love so much my crochet at the moment, more than I ever thought a crafting piece will do, that when we drove to Munich last sunday I was very tempted to take it with me for the 1 hour drive. This would have been the first time I did so, but I resisted and therefore during the whole drive I thought of it. Crochet is really overwhelming, especially when working with so many beautiful colours.

Quelles jolies couleurs ! Oui, c'est un peu volumineux à trimbaler, mais elle sera bientôt finie ?

Hello Francoise,
So you are crocheting too? I am really enjoying this and am loving the granny stripe blanket which I am making for my daughter, Sophie. Your blanket is looking gorgeous. It has been sooooo hot here on the East coast - too hot for crochet but nice to have a real summer at last.
