I'm halfway done crocheting a blanket for donation. It'll be a chemo blanket I guess, since pattern is too big for a premie. It's the 1/2 seashell apttern and I actually interpreted a set of directions to make it LOL.

I'm rather pleased with it and will take pics and post them tomorrow if the wold and life give me time to do so

I'm bummed. I realized last night that I probably used too much of the skein on a practice blankie. I'll have to go see if I can get another one of the same lot # so I can finish it

If I can't find the same lot I'll get a contrasting color to finish it. But I'm very proud about learning a new pattern
