A Help Me Decide Weekly Link Round-Up

 


Denis has had his MRI. The front garden is a bit torn up waiting for the forms to be laid and concrete to be poured for new, scooter-friendly paths. So, it's a bit of a waiting game. Denis's spirits continue to improve, and I can't tell you how much that brightens my day, but right now, we're in a waiting game, so I thought I'd ask for your opinion on something.

I'm just about to finish my third and final Christmas afghan, and I've chosen this pattern for my next one.
 

"Sand Dunes" Pattern Afghan

 
I want to use either a soft pale gray yarn or a soft light blue yarn. Here's where y'all come in. Which color do you prefer?
 
If you prefer this one, leave a comment saying "Gray."

 
If you prefer this one, leave a comment saying "Blue."


By the way, if you've already responded on my Facebook page, there's no need to do it again. Thanks for your input, and enjoy the links!

  1. UPDATE ON DENIS: Denis had his MRI Wednesday. On Thursday afternoon, his doctor called and told him to get to the hospital. His back is getting worse, not better. Here we go again...

  3. Oh, no, Cathy! I am so sorry to hear about Denis! Ugh! Thinking of you and sending you all good wishes and hope... About the yarn? I like the blue one better. Thanks for the links, too, as ever, and I'm really hoping and wishing for a quick recovery for Denis.

  6. Hoping Denis is on the mend (again!) by the time you see this! I'm not usually a fan of grays, but that blue didn't speak to me for that pattern, so this is an exception.

    1. Denis is on the mend again. He actually got seven hours of restful sleep last night, which is a miracle-- unless he was so exhausted that he slept through all the nurse visits guaranteed to wake a person up. Come to think of it, he did sleep through my giving him his antibiotics several times!

  8. You have lots of interesting links this week. My favorite may be the "best villains." I mean who doesn't enjoy a good villain!

    Best wishes to Denis and I have no real favorite between the two yarns. They are both beautiful.

  9. Oh, no. Best wishes to Denis and to you. What a difficult time. Oh the wool, the light gray is lovely and that pattern is very nice. On your links, I like the memoirs; Becoming by Michelle Obama is a terrific book. I'll add on Megan Rapinoe, soccer wonder, whose One Life is a very interesting memoir.
