It looks so perfect draped over your yellow armchair. Just make sure Jack doesn't get to it, it would be a shame if it's damaged again. I'm sorry you were called a 'stupid pig', I'm sure he didn't mean it, and I hope the rest of your day got better after that. Take care and have a good week!

It is my most often damaged crochet blanket. Just last week I repaired over 10 holes - all right in the middle of the granny where I had started the square with a magic ring! I used Bamboo-Ewe yarn. My acrylic blankets hold up so much better but I prefer to use natural fibers. I'm not sure if it the dog's nails, my kids being rough with the blanket or just the poor strength of the yarn I used but it's very disappointing.

Maybe you could have used that as a teaching moment to inform him that pigs are actually rather smart. ;) Kudos to you for taking the plunge and fixing the blanket. As being the owner of multiple dogs, I can imagine the fury you must have felt.

It can only get better (hopefully). You did a good job fixing the blanket. I wouldn't have fancied having to take off the border and split up the squares before starting to put in new squares. I love the New Lanark wool - we went to the mill last year - I'm using it for my poncho. The colour I'm using is Forest but I'm pretty sure I have a ball of the colour you used for your border - it was used with a variety of the other colours to make squares for a bag. I haven't joined them yet!Gillianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13234219836891799676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4515007843975800463.post-73506890040925243792015-11-03T21:11:08.392+00:002015-11-03T21:11:08.392+00:00I know exactly what you mean about comments being ...I know exactly what you mean about comments being the kindest words you receive, that happens to me sometimes too!

Once again I am staggered by your crafting ability. I have started a blanket project for my Mum. It will be a very simple throw that I hope to have finished for Christmas. If not, then it will be for her birthday. The colours are similar to those in your beautiful blanket. And can I just say that I love the colour of your chair. That' the exact same colour I'd like for my childhood chair that needs to be re-covered.<br />Leanne xxLeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15617604296746784414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4515007843975800463.post-22215057563010506722015-11-03T17:34:41.565+00:002015-11-03T17:34:41.565+00:00That is a beautiful blanket, I love the wool you u...That is a beautiful blanket, I love the wool you used and the colours in it. Its great to cross those big jobs you've been putting off off the list! I get called names at the school where I work quite often by the children, they're from "severely deprived" socio-economic backgrounds! Today I had a six year old girl punch me (not hard!) and tell me I am awful and she's never going to listen to me and she doesn't have to do what I say! It wears you down day after day so I hope the situation improves for your family soon!Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16043065727770116407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4515007843975800463.post-61207178682433895652015-11-03T16:36:56.625+00:002015-11-03T16:36:56.625+00:00wonderful blanket I am glad you repaired it, now k...wonderful blanket I am glad you repaired it, now keep the dog away :-)Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05213759909336433460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4515007843975800463.post-56260963661837734292015-11-03T16:32:46.505+00:002015-11-03T16:32:46.505+00:00Wow, Christina.
