Another Blanket

With the arrival of cold weather my thoughts usually turn to warm and woolly sweaters but this year I've been thinking more of blankets.  Perhaps it's an age thing?!

Anyway, I've started another blanket, and these are the colours I'm using.


There's less pink than I normally use but still plenty of yellows.  For this blanket I've extended my colour palette to include some greens and turquoise - how daring!

I'm using the Neat Ripple Blanket pattern by Lucy at Attic24.


It's very basic and straightforward to do but it's fun choosing the order of the colours and seeing how they turn out.


It's looking very jolly and as it's getting bigger it's already keeping me snug of an evening.  Blissful.

  4. Beautiful. I love when crocheters randomly mix colors like you've done here rather than do a specific repeat.

  7. Hi, I found your blog on pinterest. Your little mice are so cute. I love blankets too. Maybe you could interact with me and teach me to knit sweaters or do fair isle. I've tried so many times. I would love any help you would offer. Pamela
