With the weather yo-yoing on the temperature front it has been cosy to sit of an evening and crochet - especially as the blankets grow in size because they form a lovely snuggly wrap over the legs.
A short while ago I showed you the 'shades of lavender' blanket (one up from the bottom of the stack). Now look at the pile...
These sorts of blankets are so easy to do as they are worked in treble stitch and grow very quickly.
One of the benefits of using variegated yarn is that you get the shading & colour alterations without having to faff around chopping and changing yarns. There is also the surprise of how the colour combos will work-up as the piece grows.
I am making a bit of a dent in my yarn mountain but I keep seeing pretty new yarns that I want to play with **groan**. I must try to resist and actually work through what I've already got. Problem is, just like with my paper crafting - who can resist pretty things..........................................................

good golly girl! these are gorgeous. i had to stop my crochet, knitting and cross-stitching because my fingers would cramp so bad. funny thing tho, my crafting doesn't bother my fingers at all - go figure.
you are very wise to stay away from FB, twitter and pinterest. i don't tweet at all, and FB takes up way to much of my time - but then - i get to catch up to people that i blog with more so than blogging. it's a vicious circle.
have a great week!
hugs :)
Oh, my! I'm so impressed. You've been super busy and what pretty blankets!
Oh my goodness, these are gorgeous .... You're super talented
Fab blankets...I wonder what you will do with them all? Do you give them away or sell them on?
Wow, you have been busy! Are you going to sell them ?
These are lovely
Wow they are awesome - I know what you mean about pretty things tempting you - but then the crafting cupboards seem to spill over!
Oh my goodness, a workout for sure, they look fabulous and I envy anyone who is clever enough to croquet, I sure am not.xx
