Sorry to be the organised one (I'm not really!) but the other two finished objects are Christmas things. First up is a blanket for my aunty. I can show you this because it's very unlikely she'll see it. I know my neice won't see my blog either but her parents might and I'd quite like it to be a surprise for them too.
It's another Granny Stripe by the Attic24 pattern. It's pretty quick to work up, though this version was more repetative than the previous one because I only used 5 colours this time (last time I used 17) and I repeated the colours in order this time (last time I did random stripes).
It's a lap sized blanket. It took 2 balls each of Stylecraft Special DK in Cloud Blue, Silver, Teal, Aspen, Turquoise (there was a bit leftover from the two balls even after the border was added).
I changed the colour order for the border, mainly because I didn't want the first border colour to be the same as either end of the blanket. Order of colours for the border: Teal, Cloud Blue, Aspen, Silver, Turquoise.
I'm really pleased with it. I love the colours and I hope my aunty does too.
I've also finished the Christmas wallhanging.
You should not apologise for being organised...the fact that you instill awe and panic into the rest of us is just a by product! I love all the 'blues' of this post. :)
ReplyDeleteEverything looks great ! Nice work !
ReplyDeleteI have crochet a ripple blanket in almost the same colours you used. It looks good as granny stripe also, and I also used a Lucy pattern for mine.
