As I was a little premature with my
Splash of Colour post last week I thought I would do another and show the progress on my granny stripe blanket which is pretty colourful.
When I
started it in the summer I thought it might be completed in time for Jacob's birthday in October.
Now I'm wondering if it will be ready to give him for Christmas.
Because the problem is knowing when to stop , although at the moment my plan is to make it square. However that is still several stripes away!
More colour is obviously required.

Lovely blanket and I think I might becoming an addict too! (But mine is more random and less controlled, story of my life really!).
ReplyDeleteI love how in these types of projects all the colours just eventually go together, even if the combinations are not traditional or expected. It's beautiful.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty. Love the colours.
ReplyDeleteHope you don't mind me following your lovely blog. Found you over at menopausal musing.
That really is a splash of colour, gorgoeus! Very welcome too in this 'white' world!

ReplyDeleteWow, what a feat! Looks amazing.
ReplyDeleteThat is the most glorious splash of color--gorgeous! K x
ReplyDeleteSorry I have been very lazy and not ready your blogs for a while - I think your advent idea is super - and so like you to share everything with us all - I have now read seven days in one go!! The mince pies looked gorgeous - the frosty morning picture was perfect and I loved the stockings. I shall now ready all your blogs daily and look forward to them.
ReplyDeleteYou're further along than me. I reckon to do one stripe a night.
ReplyDeleteLove the colours...I'm sure you'll finish for Christmas..how big is it?
ReplyDeleteTake care
I always find that working freely with color, whether in painting or knit or crochet, always lifts my spirits. It's as if my inner eye gets encouraged by playing with expected and unexpected combination and starts to dance around.
ReplyDeleteHmmm, can an inner eye dance? Well, perhaps you know what I mean.

Lovely combination of colours. If it's not finished for this Christmas there is always next Christmas.......
ReplyDeleteHighly addictive, this crochet milarky, isn't it? Your blanket is lovely. I have been against the clock to finish two and am just about there now..........

Do you sometimes think that maybe you try and do too much??? And it's about time you finished that red jacket!
ReplyDeleteLove the 'frosted fistles' in the previous post x
i loved making mine for our new grandaughter to keep her snug when she stays here but it was very addictive and I need to make one for us now!
ReplyDeleteit looks lovely, I love the colours...mine has a very wobbly edge and ended up being rather small although it is perfect to cover my knees when I curl up on the sofa...
ReplyDeleteFabulous...what a gorgeous rainbow of colours!
ReplyDeletelove your blankie, I am on my third, they are addictive......and well, you do have to use up the left over wool.
ReplyDeleteMy children loved their granny blanket when they went to here house.
