Down the Lane

Just finished a ripple blanket - it's not that big - more a picnic blanket than for the bed - made with lots of bright cotton aran yarn - been showing it the chickens today ....







Don't think they were very impressed though!

It's beautiful, Julie!!! And so are the girlies~~

They obviously have no taste.
It is lovely, well done you.

absolutely beautiful, now i have another project to think about, i've just started a blanket for my friend who is expecting a baby

It's beautiful! I keep seeing ripple blankets everywhere at the moment, and I shall have to make one soon. I like the idea of being able to crochet over all the ends (having just finished sewing in all the ends on dd's hexagon blanket, which probably took nearly as long as the blanket itself!)

That is lovely, I am doing one, no where near as good as yours

I am hoping it will look better on the bed

Lovely ladies

Thats a beautiful blanket Julie

The chickens may not be impressed but I certainly am! It is lovely, well done you!

Anyone out there who likes to crochet - have you come across the Attic24 blog site? It's a woman from Yorkshire who crochets a lot and there's some lovely free patterns on the site for blankets, flowers and stuff. Worth having a look if you like that type of stuff - I've made a few things inspired by her stuff.

Yes - Lucy makes beautiful things!

It was her stuff that got me into crochet - I never mastered it when I was younger and just used to knit but now I crochet all the time too. I'm making a merino wool scarf from all different flower squares at the moment and I cant wait to finish it - but lots of ends to sew in .....

It's very cheerful.

It's lovely
I just had a look at her blog...Oh i am so jealous of you both..I wish I could crochet...but I'm a complete klutz when it comes to doing it

Ah, but you can make CHEESE!

and it tasted pretty good (though I say so myself)
