Your German is not that bad, really! Your blankets are both so beautiful, I wonder how you manage to crochet two in a time. Your post is written in such fine words, I really enjoyed reading it. I am quite the opposite of you concerning things that were common at my parents home. I do a lot of things because my mom didn't do it, baking, sewing (rudimentary, but nontheless), crocheting or playing board games. We do love to play games with the children, especially in winter, "The settlers of Catan" is our favourite at the moment.

We play Sorry! at our house, too. Other games we like: Scrabble, Boggle, and Rummikub, although it's hard to beat a deck of cards for variety:)Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11718137744623626322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7270442039937122804.post-62859179680385470492015-01-26T21:36:32.550+00:002015-01-26T21:36:32.550+00:00Dear E,

I am a fellow crocheter but if there is a creature out there with a smaller attention span than a gnat, I'm afraid that would be the critter I should be compared to. I'm happy to look at your beautiful blankets in the making and dream of making something like that myself. But if history is to repeat itself, I will look at yours and I'll go back to making another scarf as that is about all I can handle! Thanks again for sharing.<br /><br />Bestest, <br /><br />Mary LynneMaryLynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01991159295511788114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7270442039937122804.post-11335127850594726702015-01-24T13:26:56.098+00:002015-01-24T13:26:56.098+00:00You have an excellent sense of color and far great...You have an excellent sense of color and far greater skills than most to accomplish these blankets. Both are works of art. They will be heirlooms handed down.<br /><br />The pictures, as always, make me feel I could touch the happiness stitched in each blanket.<br /><br />And the sunrises are gorgeous.

Both blankets are beautiful, I love the designs and colours of them both! Blanket making was never one of the things "in my house" either, but I love love love making them. Probably because I am somewhat the opposite of you and tend to do the opposite of things "in my house"! I love the dark centres of your painted roses, they really set the petals off beautifully and the stripes and different stitches are beautiful too! xxAmy at love made my homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17111180584250029433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7270442039937122804.post-47419172331773746572015-01-23T10:21:37.936+00:002015-01-23T10:21:37.936+00:00Superbes toutes ces couvertures !

I have to have little projects between the large ones as well to keep me interested, or it will become something I 'have' to do rather than 'want' to do. I like the stripes but they do look difficult and it takes me forever to count a 'chain 200 something' as I keep having to go back and recount!

You keep tempting me to crochet but I'm much happier knitting. The colours of the stripy blanket mirror the sunrise and the squares remind me of the tablecloth you often photograph - both very you. I love the bobbles - I'm just knitting a blanket with bobbles but all one colour. Now I wish I'd used a colour scheme like yours.
