Sharity Goes Awry

Here is a look at a blanket I made for myself inspired by my self proclaimed status of being a mermaid. I wanted it to look like a fishing net/. I made up the stitch on the fly I like the octagon shape of the wholes. Looking a the pictures now it also resembles a chain link fence ! I liked it so much I decided to make on of my co -workers one she is my age and had a stroke and had to leave her job. She is a great lady and I thought I would make her a matching one. I made mine to look like water and netting together. My friend like tropical colors and I thought this reminded me of fun colors like bubble gum.

So then I had a great idea to never actually write down the pattern I did for the first one. So I decided to make a similar blanket then. I asked her what colors she liked I pre bought all the yarn. After crocheting like two skeins of Baby Bernat Big Ball ” Little Sunshine” and awaiting the lime colored edging well the rest of the balls are no longer findable. My Mother has mental illness issues and she hides things from me for safe keeping thinking someone is going to steal them so I guess she hid the rest of the yarn. Jo- Anns no longer sells this color !! So I guess this one will be a cat blanket for my cat Bub and I start on a new one 😦  I might have to go online to  fabri.com and but a few skeins. Wish me luck!!
