So the final couple of days I began to complete it off. I’ve adopted the sample that got here with it and accomplished the final two squares. Now I’m stitching the ends in, then I’ll crochet a pleasant boarder all the best way round. Though nothing fancy, this blanket will imply the world to me.

We went forward and made preparations for Mums funeral nevertheless it needed to be postposed as a result of lockdown. Issues are a bit up within the air in the intervening time as to after we can lay Mum in her last resting place.
