2nd Blanket for Charity

Finally its finished.  Now I just need to find something to do my hands.  Oh I have plenty of projects that I never completed so perhaps I'll spend my time doing those.  I like to stay busy especially when J is deployed.

The blanket is 45x 87 inches making it a twin size.  I have it laid out over my queen sized bed for a reference point.  The main part of the blanket is knitted with a ruffled crochet edge.  I like and I hope that who ever it is given to will like it too.

I contacted the head of our FRGs on post here and hopefully she'll be able to give it a good home.  The first blanket I made went to a wounded warrior.  Hopefully this one will find a home with one too.

As you can see the color is repeating.  I have green, variegated, and red at one end as well as at the other.  The only two colors that aren't repeating are the tan and white.  The green yarn is also the ruffled edge.

Marriage counseling went well today.  We had a bit of a break thru which is always nice.  I like improving our communication skills.  I'm not a mind reader no matter how hard I try and when a woman asks a man, "what's wrong?" they aren't likely to dish like a woman would.  We have to find ways to get the information.  Maybe women would make better intelligence agents as we are the manipulators, we have to be to find out what they don't want to say.

On the homefront, I injured myself today.  I had another clutzy moment while J was out of the house.  I rolled my right foot, not injuring the ankle of which I've done plenty of times but instead injuring the side of the foot.  I put an Ace sleeve on it and will stay off it for the remainder of the day.  Well okay I'll try to stay off my foot.  I tend to be a bit hyper active and sitting still for more than 15 minutes is rather difficult for me.

Hopefully I won't accidentally kill myself before the two week wait is over.  I'm always so clutzy during the two week wait.
