I once said never again but...

Hello, I hope this day finds you well.

After last weeks pottering I decided that it was time to make something proper again. I swore that I  would never make a blanket again because I get part way through and then they start to drive me mad. I prefer quicker projects that take a day or maybe two. However I had a quite a bit of yarn that I didn't know what to do with and decided that I would venture into the world of blanket making yet again.



I considered making a Lucy style blanket but knew that I didn't really have the patience so instead I opted for the smaller and perhaps more manageable ordinarily extraordinary blanket by the super duper Dottie Angel. I am now past half way and I have to admit that a little boredom and frustration is setting in. I am determined to finish it though. Here it is in progress, I haven't used Dottie's method of joining because I couldn't get my head around it and it just didn't look right so I shall have to invent a way of joining at the end.





I hope that you have a good weekend. The rain is still persisting in these parts so I hope that you have better weather than us.

  5. Oh dear, that is going to be a perfect blanket! The colorcombi is great. (and maybe a little tip: if I make a blanket and get tired of it, while working the squares, I make cushions out of them instead of a blanket!)
