Down the Lane

I've been crocheting a double bedspread throughout the summer and it's finally finished. All the ends sewn in today and I couldn't wait to take some photos. They're not the best - I like to photo things outside but it's too swamplike at the moment.

Its basically a couple of different patterns of flower squares in the middle section with a border around and then another border of flowers in a different pattern with another border and edging around that. Originally it was just going to be flowers on white but I cant resist using loads of colour. It's mainly done in bamboo yarn with a bit of cotton thrown in too depending on what I had in my stash. Hope you like it ... its kept me busy all summer!


Well Mad Molly approves

Julie it is absolutely beautiful, the photo's are lovely and the colours beautiful, I am sure it will keep you very warm throughout the winter

Molly looks like she is laughing

OMG! Fantastic!! You are very clever!

That is so awesome - its really beautiful, my goodness, how many hours of work went into it? It will definately be a family heirloom to pass on to generations. Well done!

(Um is that a photo of a real dog?!?!?!? a french poodle? looks so cute - but are its eyes really crossed?!?!?!?! )

Beautiful handiwork there Julie.

Molly looks cute, actually she looks like she is saying "Get off my blanket!!".

I tried to get rid of the red eyes and succeeded in making her boss-eyed instead

Absolutely beautiful, dog and blanket

Beautiful blanket it would look perfect on my settee; I can see its already spoken for though! I admire the artistic flair you have for putting the pattern and colours together so well

That is beautiful Julie, you must have some patience, lovely colours and cracking good photos.

I thought the dosg was knitted.

I wouldn't knit something that scruffy

Wow what patience you have. Such lovely bright colours for dark winter days and as for Molly! In the pic, she looks so at home on it and looks as if she is saying "Hee hee ,go away, it's mine"
It really was worth the effort A beautiful blanket and beautiful Molly.

That's beautiful Julie, must have taken a lot of patience
