I'm winding down my time on my laptop. I spend too many hours on it.
Before I went to bed last night, I crocheted 3 or 4 rows on my scrappy blanket.
Today, I went to McDonald's and got a fish filet, apple fritter, and a vanilla iced coffee. I really like the apple fritters they have.
I played one game on my 3 FB accounts.
I turned the heat off this morning because it was a little bit warmer out today than it was last night.

It would be good to see how your blanket comes out. Feels good to make something with hand.

After I'm finished with the blanket, I will post a photo of it.
I do like seeing the outcome of my efforts when crocheting, knitting, or sewing. ![](/Content/images/emotes/happy.gif)

I worked on a blanket, too. It seems I am always making blankets. I wanted to turn the heat on about 4 AM, but I got another blanket and got warm. Trouble is, when the house is cold, I don't want to get up.

I haven't crocheted or knitted very many blankets. I had the heat on last night to get the chill out of the air. Tonight the heat is off.

Yes, I'm using scraps of yarn left over from other projects. This blanket is a great way to get them used up. ![](/Content/images/emotes/happy.gif)

I think the blanket will look good. It will have lots of different colors in it. ![](/Content/images/emotes/happy.gif)

Yes, it is. And it is perfect the the blanket is large enough to keep my lap warm while I'm working on it. ![](/Content/images/emotes/happy.gif)

How far do you have to go before you get it done. I think last we spoke I asked you to post a pic when you get it done. I bet it will look great. I've never learned to crochet because right handed people tried to teach me and I'm left handed. But I like to do that Diamond painting, coloring and paint in acrylics. BTW they don't have apple fritters at the McD's we have but that sounds really great.

I'm left-handed, too. I watch Bag O Day Crochet tutorials and they are very clear. There are a few channels on youtube that has videos for lefties. I don't have a problem following a right handed person. I guess I have pretty good visual interpretation skills. Get this, I crochet left-handed but knit right-handed.
I think I'm about 2/3 to 3/4 of the way done. I think.

My blanket is easy to make. I'm using the half double crochet stitch. It is a very quick stitch to make. I know that if you make a blanket it will be very nice. ![](/Content/images/emotes/happy.gif)
