Eight-by-Six

Here we are and almost finished withe my rectangular blanket, its big enough to share and I love it. Just one more row or two for the border and its ready to reveal next week along with a new pattern! It has a new name too but all will be revealed next week. The border will also include the new Stylecraft Special DK colour Cornish Blue oh and mustard of course. A cosy bank holiday Monday in my favourite spot The inspiration for my latest pattern came from the love of my first granny stripe blanket but I wanted something a little different. I love a big blanket, one to share is even better. Our holidays each year on the Norfolk Broads are fun, relaxing and give me extra crafting time. We always take a portable granny blanket stack and each year I design a new blanket for our holiday. The evenings can be chilly and what better way to relax in the evenings with a glass of chilled wine, wrapped in one of my latest creations, a big soft blanket to share. M U S T AR D You ...

Is it oblong or rectangular? Not sure but people have told me its rectangular. Whatever you want to call it I'm loving these colours on my April Showers blanket and I'm writing the pattern notes as I go along so hopefully I can release the pattern over the Easter holiday weekend. Here is a little progress from this weekend. My gorgeous project bag is gaining a lot of attention over on the Stylecraft Instagram account, they kindly re-posted my photo.

It's April and the April showers (or down pours have hit us) I got drenched last night walking (running) back to my car after a quick supermarket shop. I couldn't wait to get home from work last and add some more rows (and dry off) I kept going until I was really sleepy and I slept so much better, probably dreaming about yarn and the next colours. Its really great working on another blanket not just for the colours but the warmth it provides whilst you work on it.  I've ordered some more colours I'm running out of and a new colour in the Stylecraft Special DK range called Cornish Blue. Can't wait to see it and start using it. I know I'm supposed to be using up my yarn but I saw the new Stylecraft Simply DK colour and just had to order it. With over 90 colours already in their colour chart its going to be a colourful month ahead. I buy my yarn from Lusciously Loopy  You can keep up with my progress over on my Instagram and FaceBook page. ...
