feel better you and your family.

I think in the grand scheme that brown can be a lovely part of the blanket. I'm often thrilled by how the "sore thumb" in a piece can become the loveliest part as the work progresses and things balance out.

Here's to all things balancing out, feel better!

*Hugs!* Feel Better! I'm sure once the therapy of crocheting the blanket is over, it will become a cozy, comforting, favorite piece to use regardless of its color scheme.

I think the colours are great. Just keep going. The brown is important, it makes the pattern pop.

Remember (as one who spent 2 years on one of these), that the blanket will change as it grows, and with repetition, will develop a colour scheme and character of its own.

I crochet in a crisis. People think I'm mad. But I know better.

Thanks so much, everyone. We're all doing quite alright over here, and further good news is that looking back at that photo, I love the look of the blanket again in addition to loving it in general. And you'll be happy to know I grabbed more brown last night. And some pink. Bring on some colour! More photos soon.

SOOO Lovely!!!

That is really great work! I'm hoping to try that pattern myself soon. :-) Hope you had a great weekend!

Hang in there, sometimes life is -brown yarn- then you find the *pink yarn* and all is good.

take good care kim:) crocheting is the best therapy out there, oh, well i also add a glass of wine too:)

Thanks, Jana. I'm using a modified pattern from the Harmony Guide, but I do think it's really similar, if not identical, to the soft waves pattern lots of others are using. The increases and decreases are worked over more stitches than a spikier chevron pattern.
