I am working on a crochet lap blanket for my Darling Mum - would you like to see a sneak peak? (don't worry, she doesn't go online so wont see!)
I love the variegated yarn - no two rows are exactly the same...
I think the colours are quite festive...
I am on 21 rows at the moment, I think 30 rows plus a decent border should just about do it.
On the back of my post yesterday, I thought it would be fun to remember Christmas card designs of the 1960s for my advent picture today - I love the simple shapes in the foreground in contrast to the colourful background...

Good job on making that blanket! I just finished my alpaca silk shawl, so I can wear it to my DAR meeting tomorrow! Yay!!
