Beachy

Since I finished last year's calendar mood blanket I miss crocheting it, and my fingers have grown stiffer without the daily exercise. To deal with that I decided to look around for a simple pattern to make a throw. I liked the look of this Ocean Tranquility blanket designed by Anastacia Zittel, plus it was free, so I downloaded and printed out the pattern.

I decided on a sand, foam and sea colored palette, and pulled some yarn from my stash. I may add or substract skeins as I make the throw.

I managed three and a half rows of the largest size throw in the pattern in one evening, so it is pretty simple and easy to work up. It's also nice not to have to restrict myself to one row per day like last year; working on it as much as I like helps exercise my fingers. Stay tuned to see how it turns out.
