They say “use it or lose it” but sometimes using it can cause problems, like with my wrists a few weeks ago, and now my eyes seem to be suffering from an excess of screen time, so I am trying to cut down until they recover.
However I thought that I would give you a quick look at a few of the motifs I have made for the blanket I am making for my granddaughter.
I won’t be joining them till they are all finished but I am well within schedule which is good. Though I have been resting my eyes even from crochet the last couple of days.
So here are four.

Very pretty, I wonder how you will join them.

I am joining them with slip stitches on the wrong side so the join will be invisible. Join as you go didn’t look right. I have left a couple of feet of yarn of the last round so I will do them one at a time in rows.

I love that African flowers motif.

The African Flower is a pretty motif and as there didn’t seem to be one canonical version, this is my own version that suits what I wanted to do. I did wonder whether to share the pattern at some point.

That’s going to be one amazing blanket when it’s finished. It’s good to be aware that you need to rest your eyes, I think it’s something often overlooked. There are a couple of simple eye exercises one can do, as well.

Do you have a reference for the eye exercises?

There are a few out there, but here’s one that might help. Perhaps not all the exercises but some. https://www.lenspure.com/articles/eye-exercises-alleviate-eye-strain
