Forget the Snuggie, I like my handmade blanket better

What was once three sweater vests and one sweater

has been transformed into a lap blanket.

First came the crocheting of hexagons,

lots and lots of hexagons,

in Pepto-Bismol pink, pale lavender

and two pretty shades of blue.

Trimmed out in charcoal gray

they were ready to come together.

And I took them with me

everywhere all summer long.

 Delayed by the busy holiday season,

it was neglected for months.

I picked it back up Christmas weekend

and finally finished it.

Alice thinks it is hers, but it is mine

as it fits my lap perfectly.

Maybe I will share it with her though.
