I had to giggle at you starting a blanket with the idea of using up stashed yarns - it never works out, the call of new yarn is just too strong to resist! They are both beautiful blankets though so buying more yarn is perfectly justified :)juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15794759688809245972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2419544468759273678.post-675156094040494032013-11-11T20:47:45.934+00:002013-11-11T20:47:45.934+00:00I think you will have a glorious stained glass win...I think you will have a glorious stained glass window of a blanket when you're done, and I for one will think it delightful :)Annie Cholewahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17608057589525908147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2419544468759273678.post-54997177160877073682013-11-11T19:58:44.365+00:002013-11-11T19:58:44.365+00:00Ordered chaos!

I know where everything is or should be, but nobody else has a hope especially if something hasn't been put back, which unfortunately is nearly all the time. I live surrounded by heaps that I haven't had time to put away. And there is one heaping place in the living room where I know the contents don't actually have a place of their own, which probably means I need to move some other stuff around first to make a place...but I also know that would involve doing something drastic like sorting the massive, underused photo albums to clear a space on a shelf. But that's a really boring job, so the heap lives on. I like "stuffocation", hits the nail on the head! I also think you're onto something with your mathematical crochet colour obsession - hold that thought.Izhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01032407776491997007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2419544468759273678.post-43349451830685125762013-11-11T15:39:08.556+00:002013-11-11T15:39:08.556+00:00Chaos for me I'm afraid.

I am in awe of your colour combinations here. Wow!<br /><br />I smiled when I read your post; which fabric and yarn hoarder would not? You cannot fight it, I think, this need to buy more yarn to use the yarn you already have languishing on the groaning shelves. I'm REALLY endeavouring to use up my obscene stash (of fabric too) but find myself, like you, needing to purchase more yarns to finish each project. It makes me laugh really. I think I would describe the state of my shelves as organised chaos...on a good day :-)<br /><br />Stéphanie<br /><br />ps I've linked to your blog in my Celia Hart fabric post.millefeuilleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14608950213999238191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2419544468759273678.post-64440964999646074092013-11-09T20:28:09.486+00:002013-11-09T20:28:09.486+00:00Love the colours and that you've used maths in...Love the colours and that you've used maths in your work!!
