I got 200gs of baby double knit for £2.99 each, from Aldi is that a reasonable price, makes the blanket very reasonable in outlay, and I don't charge myself by the hour
Beautiful, Perchy...I so wish there was an @ldi near me~

Julie - it was thanks to your link - just did it for me!
I have decided I am reasonably ok once I get going but not great at the middles. I instantly lose the hole, so this time I threaded a bit of different colour wool through so I could find it as it got filled up.Seemed to work quite well - still not sure how I got a flap though!
It looks bigger than it is actually - it's only about 1 sq ft at the moment. I will get more wool on tues.
Really lovely! Well done you! I am going to try squares next - I was just worried they may all turn out different sizes! Was it hard to join together and did you block it?
I bought some more wool yesterday in Wilcos, then went to the wool shop and bought some in much better colours! I am finishing my blankety thing in pinks, blue and white, but then will be more choosy colourwise I think. I got a fab heather, olive green, a dull red and a turquoise ball. I may get a couple more next week.
As my square has got bigger, it is now taking me a while to get round! It took me about 3 hours to do 4 rounds yesterday! I am also finding myself further away from my stitching - my arms were fully stretched last night! I am going to need a telescope to see what I am doing soon too.
I had look through some crochet books while I was out yesterday - really inspiring. That may be my next treat!
That is very pretty, well done. I was impressed with you crochet, Helen. Once you get the idea it is comparatively easy. I hope to see a similar scarf frtom you soon
