This is not my work. I am cyber stalking the Flicker Crochet Pool today. I am just in a mood and this photo stream makes me feel happy. I must admit that this summer I am going to start a rainbow blanket. I am in love with all of the wonderful colors. So, my bucket summer list is:

1. Finish the Red Wine Blanket
2. Start a Rainbow blanket
3. Finish the Orange muck blanket for Donna
4. Crochet, crochet, crochet.

That about does it for now!
