Half past supper and a finish sort of Finnish and a start again

 Well I did finish the bunny blanket yesterday! And I only had a little of the middle pink yarn left! Yay me!

 (But there is still plenty hot pink left...)

So today I made a small border of single crochet all around and declared the blanket was finished!

The size is 103X63 cm so more than enough for either a baby or a lapghan.

I used this pattern and the yarn was a Finnish acrylic yarn I bought in Sweden about five years ago (so that is how long this poor blanket has been neglected) called Helen by Novita.

 (why I only find Finnish yarn in Sweden and Swedish yarn in Finland I have no idea, the grey yarn I thought was Finnish that I bought in Finland called Ville Viking is actually Norwegian but exclusively sold in Finland, very confusing I know...)

Valmin on the blanket for size comparison.

The blanket weighs 534 grams which means I can now buy 10 skeins of wool yarn for my kitties in a row afghan. 

I haven't stretched it or anything yet so I hope it turns a bit more symmetrical after that but honestly I am just happy I finished it.

And I remembered I could download the pattern onto my iPad and use that to finish so I didn't have to wait until M bought more ink for the printer which I feel a little ashamed I didn't think of sooner, hehe. *sweatdrop*

 But the bunny looks good, I am really loving this pattern, it is the yarn that irks me, I have to have the TV on quite high so I don't hear the yarn squeek whilst I am crocheting because that is so bothersome.  Now I remember why I hate acrylic yarn. Too bad I still have 13 skeins of it....

I know I used the grey to make a Stark Trek ship for M. So if I have any left when I am done I will perhaps make another...

You may ask when you are done with what? Aren't you done with the bunny blanket? Well, yes, I am, but I kinda started another and I hope to use up the rest of the acrylic yarn too. Oops, atleast until I can go to the shop and buy the yarn for that other blanket I started, which I am hoping means I can buy 23 skeins of yarn... *Drool... more yarn....*

Tada, I made another start

Bunnies are appalled by my lack of will power and bending of rules and whatnot. 

- Did you hear that Valmin, yesterday she said she would finish two things before starting one, but she clearly did not. Humans are so dumb. Why do we even keep them?

- They have the food dear.

- Right, where is my supper? It is clearly half past supper already!

Sorry I have been a bit awol. But I have been busy, mostly with my crochet, but I haven't really that much to show for it yet, but I will post when it is finished. :) I have decided that my alpaca blanket needs another row so it will be wider. Bunny and I have been busy taking afternoon naps as well.

I have made this little guy from the latest Cross Stitch Card Shop. I really liked him. And look at the lovely tablecloth boyfriend bought for me. It has everything! It is Springy, has a bunny, a crochet border and dots! I LOVE it. Even if yellow and green are two of my least favorite colours I somehow seem to gravitate towards them when spring is coming….

I have also made something for another swap, but I can't show that until it is sent and received;) But I can tell you it is cross-stitched and easter themed, and this may shock you, but I did not make a bunny this time o.0

Yes, we have a new sofa, the old one sort of died. But this one is almost the same, except it is not as roomy underneath says bunny, but she still hides under there for her afternoon nap.

I have made another few rows of this blanket. I have no idea how long it will turn out to become as it is really slow going and all those yarn ends that will need weaving in later…. Also some of the yarn as I have said before is nearing an end, so I will either try to find replacements or finish it when there is no more yarn left. We'll see how patient I am. 

Which usually I am.

Also, we are really happy here in the basement lately because boyfriend has got a job. He starts on monday. These are indeed lighter times.

One of my friends have an older relative who knew I crocheted, she has almost finished this duvet cover, two panels are completely done, and two started. To have it on a single bed it need six panels but she didn't think she could finish it and passed it on to me. I love filet crochet and even if white somehow makes me feel a little colour deprived it could be a nice pause from the very colorful blanket above:) This will truly be the year of the blankets. Sorry for the bad pictures, even if it is sunny since we live in a basement the pictures usually suffer.
