The Cheery Cheeky Chevron blanket . . . . . at last!

"At Blooming last" the little voice inside my head says!  A couple of weeks ago I finally finished my 'Cheeky Chevron' blanket, which has been a pick up, put down project for about a year. I like those sorts of projects as you feel like you have climbed a mountain when they are finished, I feel really chuffed with myself too. 

 This project was a constant face in my work in progress bowl!

One of my favourite colours is duck egg blue, so this was definitely going to be used. I did not want to do all different colours, I wanted a colour scheme for this little beauty.

Sure you would agree that the cheeky chevron blanket definitely lends to a colour scheme. I did not have the sun, sea and sand in my mind when choosing the colour scheme in fact is was quite by accident, as my mission when I started was to use my scraps of wool, which would mean it would be a blanket of multi colours.  Following much pondering, this little colour scheme was born. 

 I love a nice edging, so for me it had to be a bobbly one, and most definitely in sunny yellow.  It reminds me of the sea, sand with the sun poking through fluffy white clouds. 

 Hope you like keep crafting! Xx

This weeks Mid-Week making

For this weeks mid-week making, I have started a blanket which is a new Stylecraft pattern, that I  stock in the shop.  It is one of those patterns that as soon as I saw it I knew that I had to do it.  I am  sure you understand this is purely as a sample for the shop.  However, the cogs are turning and I'm thinking that one maybe on the cards for home!

This pattern is made up of beautiful simple flower motifs, which are joined together to form a beautiful cheerful blanket. How pretty is this, hope you like it?    

I will keep you posted as to my progress 20 flowers made. . . . . only 187 to go, woo hoo I love that feeling. 

See you soon and keep crafty xx
