This week will go down in history as the Great Weed Out.
This is not a weed.
I was desperately lazy about the flower beds this winter and am paying for it now. I am about 75% finished with de-weeding, mulching and planting bulbs (I know it’s too late but they were on sale) and a couple perennials. Since it is freakishly cold this morning (such a shame haha) I have a minute to show you my other great accomplishment.
I can hardly believe it myself!
That is 20 CounterPain Squares crocheted together. I did it myself! They fit the width of the bed exactly as planned – with the lace edging it will look just right. I can’t even tell you the relief it brings me to know that this is actually going to work. Bonus points to me because it it pretty and I learned to crochet! Points to the CounterPain because there are still 111 squares to go (120 to join). The CounterPain is still in the lead, but I am gaining ground.
Happy Easter.
Yay! It really is going to be beautiful!!!
Oh….I can’t begin to even express how BEAUTIFUL this is!!!! I knew you were working on this but obviously I haven’t kept up with your progress!! You crochet as beautifully as you knit!!!

Wow, that is going to be one beautiful bedspread when you’re done!
This is just gorgeous. I love it. It is going to be so awesome when it’s all completed!!
Wow! What an accomplishment! It is so elegant and timeless – a true classic!
Wow! You must be certifiably insane to attempt a project like that, and clearly a genius to have gotten any where near completing it. Your CounterPain is truly beautiful!
Wow, that spread looks like a LOT of work. It is gorgeous!
It’s really beautiful.
Wow! That’s a very ambitious project to embark upon. I can’t wait to see it finished!
Oh Emily! That spread is just beautiful. You will be so proud to have it as a lovely heirloom. It’ll last and be loved forever. 🙂
Gorgeous… absolutely gorgeous. This will be a true heirloom 🙂
It’s looking so pretty and creamy. So glad it fits. Makes me feel like jumping on the banwagon and crochet a bedcover myself!
Gorgeous! Yay! You’ll beat that sucker, I know it.
Gorgeous! When are you going to start taking orders for counterpanes?
ohhh its going to be sooo beautiful when its done!
Oh, my, that is absolutely GORGEOUS. I can’t imagine having the patience to do it, or even the ability, but I can certainly admire it. 🙂
Oh, that is beautiful!
Oh my, your work is so lovely. What an inspiration to challenge myself. Miss you like crazy now that we are on the West Coast. (Missed you like cray on the East Coast too.) I guess, both you and Alabama are in my heart. It makes sense, you are both mythical, magical, and wonderful.
PS: Dunc turns four on Monday!
PPS: If you come out here you & M can visit both Teyani & me….
PPPS: Plus, we can take at short car trip to Blue Moon…
Wow Emily! That is going to be just beautiful!
Wow oh wow! That’s going to be beautiful!
I have a lot of weeding to do too. I did nothing for the winter and not enough last summer.
I think that was very smart to put some together and get a glimpse of what an amazing treasure you will have when you finish. It looks fantastic and I hope it bolsters your endurance to see it coming together slowly but surely!
Yarn Miracle I guess! THAT is a LEARNING crochet project for you? I guess that we won’t talk about my doily that can double as a cap.
Oh Em, its gonna be beautiful! Heck even at this stage it’s beautiful! You are a wizard!
The CounterPain will be an absolutely beautiful heirloom! You must enter it into a Fair afterward. I crocketed one 10 years ago and got a blue ribbon at the Fair which had a cash winnings also. I love the spread with it’s across the foot of my bed tho ‘coz it weights a TON if I try sleeping under it. I think a knitted spread will be a lot lighter tho. What kind of yarn are you using? It looks beautiful on top of that other one … crocheted right? By someone like your grandmother or Mom? I plan to pass mine along to my daughter. Well have a Happy Easter!
That is so beautiful. I don’t think I would ever be able to attempt something that large. Great job!
THAT is amazing, Emily!
Your bedcover is going to be lovely.
That is absolutely stunning!!! I love it!!
That is absolutely stunning!!! I love it!!
Wow!! It looks just amazing.
Emily, that is the most incredible needlework I have ever seen! It is just beyond beautiful!
Oh my gosh it’s absolutely wonderful. I wonder how long you’ve been working on this & if you sleep???
How beautilful!
