When it comes to colors, Ed likes them bold. Bold and bright. It’s funny, he wears a lot of black and other dark colors to work, but it’s sort of incognito for him. His inner self is a wild crazy rave of colors. So color combos that might make other people wince? Perfect for my crazy man. He’s been sort of subdued for the last year, stress has been dampening him some. So when I was making a blanket for him, I knew it should be something special.

I started a new blanket yesterday, also crocheted (wtf? have I forsaken knitting completely?!). This one is for Rebecca and it’s star-shaped. The pattern is giving me a little headache, as I just am not very experienced yet and I have a hard time “reading” my work. I find the patterns confusing, I think sometimes it might be easier to make my own patterns. Rebecca’s is made with leftovers from Ed’s blanket, so more eye-bleeding in my future!
