Pink Persuasion is done. It's being blocked here after being laundered. The picture still has the colors a bit off, it's not that bright, the darker blocks are really more a dusty darker mauve. It must be because we're not getting any good natural sunlight these days here in Central Ohio, because the last picture I took of it showed it darker like this also. The squares were donated by several different people. I edged each square with a row of DC, crocheted the blocks together and edge with 2 rows of SC. Between the additional edges, and the blocking it turned out just over a 50 inch square, nice size. I started edging these squares while away recently on vacation and had about half of it edged and joined by the time I got home. I also continued knitting the striped ghan and it's coming along, though knitting is much slower so it will be awhile.
I was able to collect some personal care goodies in my travels to add to the donations as well.
Hope you're all staying warm, it's been frigid here lately with temps in the negative at night and early mornings.
