Finally the Picnic Blanket is finished!!!

You can see all the details on my project page on Ravelry.

It will sit all 6 of us for eating but if we want to spread out it’s not quite big enough.

Finished size: 62″x 68″

Finished weight: 10 pounds (give or take)

I freakin’ love it!

I am in the process of sewing a carry bag for it. Soon, it will be complete!

It will make it’s world debut on WWKIPDay at East Beach!

I love to treat myself to bubble gum. The real stuff, Hubba Bubba in original bubble gum flavor. Unfortunately last night at Sav-on Drugs they only had the sugarfree kind. Fine! I will buy it anyway. So as I am meandering through Craft Essentials with Tracy blowing my bubbles I am blinded by popped bubble! Aah! Right on glasses! So I not so slyly pry it off & continue chewing, blowing, walking.

Not until this morning, 10 minutes ago to be precise, did I notice that there is actually gum stuck on the top rim of my glass frames! That is just gross, wrong & gross! I will now be more attentive to my bubble blowing & popping  while wearing glasses.

Look at the pretty roving! I used the smart & final food dyes on natural merino roving, cold dyed then sprayed with vinegar & heat set in the microwave. Now it’s drying. I can’t wait to spin some of it up! Now remember, I haven’t spun with my drop spindles in almost a year so who knows how well the spin will turn out!
