The little ones are playing happily so I have ten minutes (maybe!) to collect my thought about my current projects.
<Haha just had to rescue the dog from the baby, this may take longer that I anticipated!>
The Granny Stripe Blanket: The awesome, simple, stunning granny stripe blanket! I am totally in love with this blanket and with rainbow coloured yarn. I had never appreciated that something so simple could look so impressive. Even the husband is impressed by this WIP!
I bought a Lucy pack of yarn from wool warehouse and used the attic24 pattern to get started on this blanket. I was a bit overwhelmed by all the colours so picked out the rainbow ones and a white skein and made a start. I took a while to get going but now I can do two rows in 15 minutes. I can manage two hours of crochet before my hands ache so I get 8 stripes done, just over half a rainbow. I have so far done two rainbow repeats...can't decide if I need three or four repeats to make it a decent size for a cot/toddler bed |

Corner to corner blanket: Another colourful project! This is for a Betty's Bells order and is #1 of 2. The second one will be the same colours but a different order. The customer has said I can choose the colour for the border....decisions, decisions!

I'm also working on a baby sun hat for a friend in blue, yellow and white cotton. Pics of that one to follow!
Oh, these blankets are beautiful! The colour combination of the second one speaks right to my heart! Will you use one of the colours fro the blanket for the border or a new colour?

Thanks for your lovely comments! I will probably use one or two of the blanket colours. I'm waiting until I've finished the second blanket to see how much yarn I have left :-)
