What started off as a ......

Scarf

Turned into a blanket and this blanket never really got finished off

I have it placed on an old chair in my room so that my pupils have something colourful to sit on, however it did need an edging, so I finally got around to completing the edge yesterday

After several trial runs, I decided on putting 2 trebles into each gap

So nothing fancy

As it suited the rest of the blanket

I then put a Double Crochet plus a chain (1dc, 1ch) all along the edge of that

And there you have it!

One very large (and warming) blanket that's finally finished

Another project finished

I have been making this blanket, on and off, for some time now and I know that there are previous posts referring to this blanket in these specific colours of Purple, White & Turquoise, so without further ado, here it is......

First and foremost I added one final row of 7 squares

And then placed a border all around

As you can see the border started with Purple "Granny" shells

Followed by a row of white "Granny" shells

Then Turquoise

& a final row of White half trebles to set the edge of in the lightest colour of the scheme.

This blanket with be available for sale for £60 via the Craft Fair that I will be attending on the 3rd December 2011, however if you are interested, I am prepared to let it go before then, so email me campbellmac44@gmail.com  if are interested.

I am still alive and kicking!!!

Yes, I have been crocheting away in the evenings and when it's not too wet to go to the allotment!  As you can see my "vintage" blanket is growing, albeit in stitches as I go along but I don't care as I like the way it looks!

 And I love the colours too!

Last week we went to the Godstone Vineyards.  It was a little dissapointing and there wine was OK.  At £12 a bottle we found it a little pricey, but I felt obliged to buy a bottle as we were the only people there on such a lovely sunny day.

We also had a night away - We went the Country Route to The Buxted Park Hotel in Uckfield (on the edge of the Ashdown Forest

The scenic views were breathtaking.

 And this is the little church just outside the Hotel grounds which is very lovely inside.

Still Hooked!!

Just in case you were wondering, I am still crocheting away!

I have now completed my Mother In Laws hat a scarf set

And I am very pleased with the results as I had to ad lib on my hat, so had to do the same again, which of course was more difficult 2nd time around!!

I have also joined another row of 10 crochet squares to the blanket

It now measures 10 squares by 11 squares!!

It's getting harder and harder to take photo's so this is the best I could do due to it's size.

More Rows completed.....

This one?

Well I have been crocheting like mad, and I am now adding rows and rows and rows!

I also thought that I would take a few pictures, but I didn't know if you'd like

...Or this one?

Best so I thought I would put them both on!


Remember the Granny Blanket?  Well that is hanging on the balcony to "stretch" it a little, and now that the wool shop has called me to say more stocks are now in, I can get back to making some more squares!












All I need to do now is wait for my lovely husband to take me down to the shop!

Too big for the camera

He did take me to the Garden Centre today, so that I could buy some seed pods (the larger type) for planting on my Tomatoes, which I will blog about later on http://www.alithefrog.blogspot.com/
