Hi Miss Laura and everyone ❤ hope you're having a good day and can stay warm

[@DianEnglish56]

Hi Miss Laura, hope your day is going well. Love your scrappy blanket. That Nautilus blanket is so pretty! 🧶🫂

[@mycrochetstory7169]

I LOVE THIS BLANKET PATTERN! AND YOUR RUG IS REALLY LOOKING PRETTY!

[@judyatwitchpeacecraft]

I like the look of the Nautilus Blanket. It may have to be my next charity blanket.

[@manfasmakes-sam]

Great progress on the rug! Like the look of the spiral blanket 🧡💖🦩🌈

[@sandratanner8138]

The blanket is gonna be beautiful. Your rug just keeps getting prettier and prettier. I love them both 😍

[@anotheryarn]

Starting off strong at the pool, Congratulations

[@michellet4407]

Your excitement for swimming is making me want to get in the pool. Thank you. I have Nash which is a liver disease caused by being fat. So God Bless you.

[@MariannA-u4l]

Good for you with the aqua size and laps! You're making progress on the scrap rug and the fiber spider rug is really nice. That pattern would make a great doily. Sweet dreams 😴🧶🧡🧶

[@gioiacasterline4835]

Beautiful afghan with pansy yarn

[@quiltycrocheter9179]

Rug is coming along nicely. Hmmm, I'll look into that Nautilus. 😊

[@WendyLovesYarn]

I love the Fiber Spider blanket! I think I will join you 😊😊😊😊😊

[@oldmomma56]

That will be a pretty afghan! I may try that!

[@AnAlaskanCrafterJan]

Our pool is closed for remodel, just a few years after a rebuild........ Cool makes Love you

[@ivettepassiglia4971]

Hi LaLa. Love your scrappy blanket.

[@terryvoight8514]

Great rug! The blanket is going to be gorgeous ❤

[@barbaralienhard3490]

My local pool is outside so it's closed October to March. I go when they open it up, the exercise classes in the pool are fun and so is the Water Zumba. Definitely better than on land in the gym. But I still go to the gym too for Silver Sneakers. I'm working on the same, under 200 would be awesome. I like your rug and it's colors. And your new blanket looks interesting and so pretty. God bless you Laura. 🙏🧡🤗

[@ninasknotscrochet]

LOVE

[@CherylDathome]

Enjoyed seeing your makes.

[@soxynanaalice]

Hey there, loving aquasize as well! Our pool is closed for renovation, can't wait for them to open. I need to get under 200 too!!❤

[@JolenesCreationsandCrochet]

I love my clovers too. So does my dog, she chews them up every time she gets ahold of one.

[@Beeknottycrochet]

that blanket looks beautiful

[@MissisYarniverseAndMore-k8u]

I wish we had an indoor pool here so we could swim in the winter. But our pool is only open about 4 to 6 weeks during the summer, provided they have enough life guards, it didn't open at all in 2023. And love that blanket! Will be interesting to see how many cakes you will need

[@denisejf]

I love your rug but, I would stay with black as the main color. If you don't want to buy a couple small balls use another dark color that you have, like brown, navy, burgundy, etc.🤷🏼‍♀️ I was able to get some black cotton at the dollar store by me. I love the start of the blanket! I've been looking for a new pattern for a baby blanket. 🤗 I have several different colors of the sweet rolls. I just pulled out marzipan last might. You are right on time. 🤗 I love swimming but, my bathing suit doesn't love me 😝 I'm going to use my new treadmill and my bands.🙏🏻🤞 Wishing you a beautiful blessed day/night 🙏🏻💖🧡

[@julieann5196]

Hi Laura, your rug is looking good. The blanket looks like it is going to be awesome! I don't care for swimming much but I do exercise 5 days a week, at home.

[@JessicaCardis]

I like that blanket...I just might have to try it!

[@kalinamay]

Nice spiral nautilus afghan. I liked his stacked dc shawl, would love to do those stacked dc as a blanket

[@roxannapurcell7305]

Hi Laura, Persephone looks so comfy and cute!😻I love your scrappy rug and thank you for sharing how you make them a while back. I made a scrappy one for myself and 3 more but not scrappy…I used Off white Bernat Handicrafter held with another colour.🧶I gifted those to my sisters for Christmas and they love them.Ohhh I love that Nautilus Blanket…I may just have to try that later on in the year…too much on the hook and needles now and ya I’m slow as well.Take care.🧡🧶🧡

[@sherryhooks]

crochet on!

[@NitWhitAngieP]

I like how you put the black with your scraps for the rug. I might try something like that with my next scrap blanket

[@susanromanelli3789]

I'm trying to get caught up on my dishcloths so as I watch your videos that's what I'll be working on

[@EclecticHookedCraftsbyJanet]

Your rug is looking great! Good for you hitting the pool and setting a healthy goal for 2025! Challenge accepted on the nautilus blanket for boggy creek 2026. Oh not a challenge yet? Well I’ve been wanting to make it anyway so here we go!

[@Gramasugar]

Luv your rugs and I will join you using my caron anniversary cakes to use up stash I looked on your ravelry page to get a look at the Nautilus afghan that you made that you said was in your house but I didn't find it. No matter I will start it but will be slow going as I have too many wips to keep up with but no matter I will finish eventually. Good for you to start back with your swimming exercise. No indoor pool here and I don't like getting wet lol but will join you by walking with a weighted vest. But no marathons here lol I'll start with 15 to 20 mins

[@DB2hull]

I need to make a rug for my corner, I might do similar to yours x

[@CharmedGrammyCrochet]

Hi Lala

[@amybettencourt3404]

🧡

[@ByHookorbyNeedles]

I always enjoyed aqua-size except it always made me ravenously hungry,, so I'd eat double the calories I burnt - so it was a waste of time lol. I think the circle with a P means it can be dry-cleaned. The Nautilus looks nice. Its given me an idea for a different challenge, so I can test it before the Boggy Creek challenge steps up. Goodnight! Hope you sleep well.

[@MadMimisCrochetandFarming]

I agree with you about Aqua-size, gotta have that food afterwards!

[@marylouruss1087]

Good mornin Good luck with your goals.Do you put something on the back of your rugs to keep it from scootin ?Like design of new blanket.Hope you have a great week. Our weather is down right nasty and getting worse. Driving to work scares me to death. Byeeee

[@oldmomma56]

Rug is great! What stitch do you use?

[@miasgirls3]

🧡🧡🧡🥰

[@EllensCrochet]

I did my rehab after spinal surgery eons ago with aquasize. At that time it was a new concept , so much fun and so beneficial to gaining back strength & healing. I am thinking of getting my arse back in the pool 🏊‍♂️ That blanket in Fiber Spiders colors has me singing…. “dizzy….my head is spinning” - ok now the song will be stuck in my head all day😂. 🧡🤗🧡

[@enchansin-cindy]

[@craftyfarmgal7839]

I will send you a picture of mine via email if I can find your email :) I was thinking I need to frog mine.
