Eight-by-Six

And its finished and I love it. Here it is out on location today for the photos for my pattern. Pattern release date Wednesday 15 May. It is now available to buy as a 15 page pattern on Lovecrochet and Etsy It measures 105 x 123cm You can find more pictures on my  Instagram account here  

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. Link for the Amazon page is on my Instagram account here   more colours added Cornish Blue

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. ...

I decided to work on my neglected oblong granny blanket. Its a great way to use up yarn, I have so much Stylecraft Special DK and I miss having a blanket to work on. So whilst I wait for my yarn delivery for my Gryer shawl to arrive this is what I will be working on. Its turned cold again and I miss having a blanket on my lap whilst watching tv, great way to keep warm and use up yarn! You can see my progress over on my Instagram account this month.
