Not yet done… I still want to add some accents here and there, but what I was working on the other day , is this blanket for my sister. It’s 1,80m long and 1.50m wide. It’s not so much for a bed but as a foullard of blanket for the couch… for those winter days!

This month’s question is: “What is your purple cow?”
