Art Paint and Create: Stitching to the New Year

The last day of 2015 was a day of calming and laziness. It was getting cold and freezing drizzle, so it makes leaving a warm colorful home not realistic. So I curled up in my blankets, put on HGTV programs and watched Caribbean homes. While my cats and dog slept. I decided I will retire in Barbados, blame the show for that!

I have been working on a new blanket, not sure why, I just felt like it. I decided to pick white and blue and gray as the yearn colors. Not sure why either. It just looked calming to me.

I only know one stitch for crochet... a slip stitch. (however, I think this stitch is named something else, but I don't remember) I learned it from a nice elderly lady, when I worked at the nursing home, she said it is simple and that I will always remember how to do it) I will try to learn a new stitch sometime, but I really like the look of this stitch. It is close together and has a elegant and simple look to it. It reminds me of French knots in embroidery.
