It is a cold and rainy today
but in my mind it is spring and I am having
a picnic in a green meadow.
On my new picnic blanket.
Butterflies and games and finger sandwiches.
You are all invited.
♡
Featured: my work-in-progress
gigantic picnic blanket.
It will be some time until it is done
but my nephew Noam is already enjoying it.
Hello, your picnic blanket is cute. And little Noam is adorable. We may have some snow this afternoon, it is not spring yet. Have a happy day and weekend!
ReplyDeleteYour blanket is like colorful little wildflowers bursting forth in a meadow. It will be lovely for picnicking but in the meantime Noam is putting it to good use.
ReplyDeleteI love crochet. Have a good weekend Diane

Excellent, Monique, the more the merrier.
DeleteI love your picnic WIP. What a great way to use leftover yarn -- it makes your blanket look so festive and fun. I can only imagine the great conversations you'll have with friends over sandwiches and tea (do you drink tea) or lemonade.
ReplyDeleteI finally got a new post up, so I'm enjoying some free time come and see what you are up to.
Happy day, Amalia!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful picnic blanket and adorable nephew! Love all your bright and cheerful colours here today! xox
ReplyDeleteOn my way to the picnic!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful eyes your nephew has :)
Wonderful! It's a party!
DeleteYou nephew Noam is such a willing subject to pose for you! Love the patterns this yarn makes that you show in your second capture.Yeah, I KNOW what you're talking about, a few years ago I knitted one and crocheted the other adult-size blankets for 2 of my youngest grands - I think it took me half a year. After that I stayed off the breinaalden for a while:):) Many thanks for linking to All Seasons and wishing you a productive week (much speed in crocheting, lol).
ReplyDeleteOMG he is just adorable!! :) He sort of 'stole the show' from your handiwork :) Seriously what a wonderful set of photos to show your work in progress along with him :)
ReplyDeleteWhat large eyes you have, Noam my dear!
ReplyDeleteThis brings to mind many rainy days indoors when it took a little imagination to keep the kids entertained. Of course, I don't have your talent with yarn, but I could do wonders with a few cardboard boxes!!!
Oh, how precious is he? Little Noam looks like he is enjoying Auntie's bright and happy picnic blanket! Wonderful photos :)
ReplyDeleteIt's a beautiful blanket and so is your sweet little nephew. The colors are fabulous.
ReplyDeleteLove the blanket! What stitches are you using? Any picnic will be a joy on such a colour feast! And your nephew is adorable! Anna x
ReplyDeleteI think it is called a weave stitch. I found it on a tutorial on youtube
DeleteAbsolutely gorgeous new picnic blanket Amalia. What a sweet picture of your little nephew.
ReplyDeleteHugs Diane
Adorable photos, Amalia! Your nephew is a sweetheart and your blanket is beautiful! What a lovely place for a nap :)
ReplyDeleteOh, yes, a nap! Why is it that children fight naps and grown-ups crave them?
DeleteYour picnic blanket is both colourful and beautiful! Your nephew is adorable!
ReplyDeleteSuch wonderful colours! Your nephew is supercute.
ReplyDeleteIt's cold and rainy here, and I need that blanket! :-) Really nice -- thanks.
ReplyDeleteOooo, it's going to be gorgeous when it's finished. You'll have great fun picnicing on that.
