Being stuck at home while healing from back surgery is the pits. But it does offer plenty of time to crochet. For several weeks I'd been looking at a yarn bag of odds and ends I'd gotten from the thrift store. I grabbed the blue and cream and started experimenting with the Cross Over Stitch. I'd done it a few years ago but wanted to see if I could remember how it went. After a quick refresher I made a small lap blanket for church.
Later while plundering in my yarn stockpiles I pulled the extra large wicker basket out where I toss leftover bits of yarn every so often. Since the basket is now full it's time to start putting the pieces together. I've started another random yarn blanket that I fondly call the "Speckled Pup." As you can see I have a nice start already.
