I finished my Cozy Stripe Blanket back in March and since then I have missed having a large project on-the-go. Fully committed to stash busting, I've been working on smaller projects, determined to use up some of the yarn I have at home, when one day I looked over at my yarn basket and a blanket idea popped into my head. I was sitting in my new crochet corner at the time, and there in my yarn basket were all the colors that I would need to make a blanket to coordinate perfectly with my bedroom - a colorful, happy blanket to wrap around myself when I am crocheting in my corner come the winter, what could be more perfect.
I did have to go out and by some of the teal colored yarn - I only had a wee bit left from a previous project - but other than that all the rest of the yarn was in my stash and is now piled in my yarn basket waiting for its turn to be crocheted into my blanket.
It is a simple pattern, just row after row of single crochet, which makes this the perfect project to work on while watching TV, while answering questions, while dinner cooks. And for now, until it gets much larger, it is fairly portable.
I am nearing the end of the purple block and then I am on to orange...stay tuned...
Those colors do look great together. I love starting a new blanket, too. At present I'm working on a Spice of Life Blanket and it's so wonderful to watch the color changes. Enjoy your new project!
ReplyDeleteThank you Becki. Working on a blanket is such a fun, creative journey...enjoy your project.
DeleteIt's so exciting to start a new blanket! I'm having some problems with my arm and the doctor told me to take a rest, so I won't be able to start a new project for some time... Irune
