I have finished a project, yeah! I have lots of projects on
the go at once, who doesn’t? But I am trying very hard to finish the ones that
I’ve started. It’s not a new year’s resolution, just something each month I
keep thinking about. I find it hard, very hard not to start something new.
There are so many free patterns on Pinterest and so many ideas I pin daily. So
many yarns I want to work with, but for now I am very content with my granny
stripe blanket. It’s funny how the Style Craft yarn is so reasonable but yet so
fantastic to work with. The colour range is brilliant and you can crochet a
blanket for around £25, depending on the actual size. At the moment I’m on row
32 so hopefully will get this blanket finished before we have a really cold
spell.
You can find the pattern here for the Blackberry stitch
beanie. It’s lovely to knit and not too complicated once you get the hang of
it. And with a four row pattern it knits up quickly.
I sourced my wool on eBay and it was around £8 for two
balls delivered.
And here it is all finished last Friday, just in time for a heat wave! Seriously I do love this jumper and it fits so well with a white t shirt underneath, jeans and flip flops. Just waiting for the cold spell so that I can wear it out (rather than around the garden when its cooled down in the evenings!). I haven't written a pattern as such just some helpful notes from my pad. If people want to know how to construct one have added some notes below. As you know the Daisy Granny Square is the design of Sue Pinner from her book Granny Squares published 2013. I do love Sue's book, its packed with so many projects and ideas and the photos are beautiful. The daisy granny square pattern is quite addictive and you soon have a small pile of them in no time! I have an idea to make another one for the autumn in the same Debbie Bliss Rialto DK yarn but all edged in shade 90 honey, I have enough in my stash.
