Big Happy blanket update - January

When we last saw the Big Happy it was a respectable size given it had been in the making a mere six weeks (even if I do say so myself.)  And here it is as of yesterday afternoon...

It hasn't grown massively but it has grown...

"Big Happy" blanket - January 2011

I am glad it is moving along slowly, because my recovery is slow, I think it has to be really.  It feels like the blanket is progessing at the appropriate pace for how I am feeling.  After all, slow and steady wins the race :)

I am loving this blanket - I love the colours, the stitches, the ease and rhythm of it, the long-termness of it.  It helps me look forward towards a brighter (and not too distant) future.

  1. Love the colours, love that you're determined to stay on the road to recovery. Lovely metaphor for your own progress.

  5. Yay! Slow and steady wins the race.

    I love how the dark purple sort of "anchors" the bright colors.
