I hatched an idea yesterday, like you do when you have an extra day off! And it involves yarn and crochet, my two most favourite things. Normally I bake for Macmillan coffee morning, this year I am holding an alternative coffee morning via my Just Giving Page here
So if you would like to win my new Orla Kiely 1970s inspired blanket just pop over to my Just Giving page and pledge away
Here are some of the photos of my progress, more rounds were added last night and its growing steadily just to give you an idea of the fabulous colours.
My blanket journey started 5 years ago when my dad was first diagnosed with cancer and I’d learnt to crochet. I started with a granny stripe blanket taking it along to my dads hospital appointments. I was amazed at how many people stopped to look at me crocheting all the bright colours, it wasn’t a gloomy visit, far from it. At the end of my dads treatment I gave him the blanket which he still uses today. I decided that rather than bake this year I’d crochet instead - one of my Orla Kiely 1970s inspired blankets, big and cosy for autumn nights in front of the tv.
Its so easy, I'm doing all the hard work, all you need to do is pledge £2 to be in the draw to win my blanket. And live in U.K. (due to high postage costs I’m only posting in the U.K.)
