Oh, so v. busy. But not in a bad way. I have so much to show and tell that I don't know where to begin, so I guess I'll just start with showing you some things I've been doing lately - oh, and none of them involve stitching (sorry, dear readers, the stitching bug has not fled, it's just not nearly as persistent as the knitting and hooking bugs, which keep buzzing around my brain in a most annoying way). Still: busy busy busy me has been a very busy crafty bee. In this post I will show you the blanket I made for the bestest friend in the world, Harmien:
This is the 'Babette Blanket', pretty famous among the hooky crowd on Ravelry. I can't be arsed to look up the link, because I'm lazy like that, but it's SO worth browsing the project section over at Ravelry to see all the gorgeous colour combos and snuggly Babette blankets over there. Pretty pleased with my Babette, which I've decided to name 'Een troostrijk dekentje' (A Comfort Blanky). Here it is in action on my bed:
And here it is on the floor, because... well, why not:
Excusez le crookedness of the pic, but I'm still lost without Piknik.com to put these things to right [tear running down cheek][sniff]. And here's a picture of my fancy-schmancy label:
Can you tell I'm proud of this blanket? I think you probably can :o)
There's plenty more pics of plenty more projects on my computer, so maybe I'll share them with you sometime this lifetime. First though, tomorrow I'm to go to the hospital where they're running some tests involving my bladder, a tube and a tiny camera.
Ew.
Yours squeezing her thighs together quite tightly,
Annemarie

Ouch to the test but the blanket is just gorgeous!
volgens mij wil jij gewoon wat aandacht voor je blaasonderzoek :-)
nee hoor, leuk weer wat van je te zien en lezen. zo'n tijd waarin je behekst bent door breien en haken ken ik heel goed. heerlijk toch! gewoon lekker bezig zijn met wat je maar lekker vindt.
Sterkte morgen, denk vast aan je volgende blogje. Twee maanden ertussen tsss dat kan echt niet!
I love your blankie, AnneMarie!!
:)
What a gorgeous blanket - well done! All the best for the test tomorrow... niet leuk :-(
You should be proud of that blanket -- it's gorgeous! Good luck with the test -- sounds painful. :( Hope it goes well.
Gorgeous!!! So lovely.
Tanya :)
What a gorgeous blanket you have made for Harmien - lucky girl!
Glad to hear you are well although that test sounds absolutely yucky.
Sending lots of hugs and love to you and Pelle
What a lovely blanket! I must reconnect with my Ravelry account (lost in the transfer of dead computer to new live laptop). Hope all goes well with the tests tomorrow. Keeping my fingers (and legs) crossed for you.
It's awesome! I love. Good luck with your tests. Hope to have you back in blogland more often.
Wonderful! I approve of everything in this post from the use of the abbreviation "v." for "very" to the inclusion of four photos of this exceedingly fine blanket!
What a friend you and Harmien must have in each other!
I do not approve of the having to undergo hospital tests. Not having to do such things is much better--good wishes coming your way for that situation!
And "troostrijk" it is, absoluut!! Hij ligt heerlijk over mijn knietjes gedrapeerd as we speak. Gisteren lag-ie trouwens over Eriks knietjes gedrapeerd. Vier knietjes,een dekentje en de winter in aantocht, daar moeten we nog wat op verzinnen... LOL!! Heel veel sterkte vandaag, ik zal aan je denken!!
Wow! That blanket is amazing! I love it.
I hope that your tests went ok.
Such a beautiful and cosy blanket!
Congratulations on your finish!
Hugs,
Tatyana
I think that I would want to squeeze my thighs together too. Hope it goes well! And your blanket is wonderful - I love all the different sized granny squares!
Such a colorful, comfy blanket! Your finishes always make me wish I were a cool crocheter.
It's lovely Anne Marie- so cheerful! I've been missing Picnik too but I've been using the PicMonkey site which is very similar. It seems a bit slow sometimes but otherwise does the job and is easy to use.
Wow, I love it!! I so wish that I could knit, crochet, rug hook, etc. I love the colors that are in the blanket--you go girl!
Lovely lovely blanket! It's a stunner for sure!
I love, love, love it! And I'm sure Harmien does , too!!
Prachtig, je deken. Tjonge, die Harmien boft met jou. En ik, trouwens ook met jou! Groet, Wieke
{{{Hugs}}} Annemarie, I've had that test done you have my sympathies
Your blanket is gorgeous, congratulations
Oh my, how gorgeous your blanket looks.
I hope the tests were not too painful and the results were good for you.
