a chevron throw


Hello dear ones. Sorry I've been absent here for a few weeks. I've been battling a cold (actually the flu) and I really haven't had the strength to do a thing. Lots of tissue has been used while sitting and sleeping most of my days away but I did manage to start a new blanket.  I received a nice basket of new yarn from my older sister for Christmas which I so Loved!  Lots of yummy cream and white (my favorite colors) and a very pretty blue. It's all Red Heart Yarn in "soft" and it's so delightful and squishy....love love!

A new chevron throw was called to order from my daughter Lauren, when she found the idea on Pinterest the other day and fell in love with them. I thought it was so sweet that she actually wanted me to make her something since she rarely says anything nice about my crocheting or crafting
Usual responses are "boring" or "whatever"
so this put a smile upon my face.

It's been awhile since I crocheted anything really big so I am happy to jump right into to with my sniffles and all.  This is what I have done so far and I can't wait until it's finished.....
I'll be sharing more details when it's all done.

Sorry, but I must keep this post short and sweet. I feel as if I am fading away again. It's time for another cup of warm tea and another box of tissue is needed.
Talk more when I'm feeling better.
xx Shari

Your throw is looking beautiful, and how nice of you to use the lovely yarn your sister bought you to make something for Lauren - it is what families are all about isn't it! Take care of yourself and I hope you are well soon. xx
