Something new...

So after completing my last crocheted blanket...see previous post...I got started on my next one. Most of my crochet projects have been for little girls and big girls and women. So for this next one I decided to switch it up a bit. I rummaged my far too large yarn collection and found some more boyish/manly colors. This blanket kind of seems to have a nautical theme. I am liking what I see so far. Like on my previous blanket, I have decided not to use a specific pattern and will use the random color generator. I found the pattern for free here. And this is what I've gotten so far.

 

Let me know what you think. This blanket isn't claimed yet so if you are interested in ordering it, let me know. I plan to be finished with it by the end of the week. 

On another note I went on my first trail run in about a year.  

It was nice to finally run again and it was a beautiful day. I just happen to be blessed enough to live 10 minutes from a trailhead of the Cumberland Trail, which is a part of the Appalachian Trail. This means it is quite steep and rocky and covered in roots in lots of places. There were some parts of the trail where running was not the most logical thing to do. But I chose not to follow my logic. And guess what resulted...two busted up knees. Yup...I was the girl who wiped out on the trail. Here we're the results.
