Needleworkmonday 3/4/2019 - starting a blanket

I finished the pastel dishtowel, but made the mistake of sending it home with @lordvdr so he will have to post a photo of it in his post tonight!

Then I started a new project, a circular swirl blanket that I found a pattern for on Ravelry.

First you have to make a circle for the swirl to attach too:

Then you start with short rows, slowly growing to 10 stitches wide and joining every other tow to the circle. I had to frog it twice before I figured out a method that worked for me.

It has been so very cold here, we woke up to a temperature of -18 F (-27.7 Celcius) this morning and I watched the girls in the apartment next door throw hot water up into the air to make steam. So my MIL and I just did the same experiment and watched hot water turn into fog as it sublimated. It was very cool to try! But it is the extent of going outside that I have planned for now. :)

I am working from my MIL house while she recovers and currently my desk has this wonderfully sunny view-

Happy needleworkmonday!
