Here she is!

I know you might not think it's changed much since the last post, but for me it has. All those pesky ends are now gone and I have been able to stand back and admire it now. The sun came out here which meant I could get some decent pics in decent light. So here it is! My big old granny and I love her! Super snuggly and just the right size for two small folk to laze under when watching a bit of tv.

My favourite part is definitely the border. It was a bit fiddly and took a looooong time to get those ends sorted but I think it was worth it.

Ah, giant granny love. I think I feel different about this project because it was the first time ever that I've worked with white wool. It's such a different look to my usual love of brights on their own.

Yep, I really love these wee squares. And now for the 'blooper' pics where I had a nosey little visitor!!

It ended up taking far too long to get these few simple pics because every time I put the blanket down, my beautiful girl Bella decided it was just for her. Now this blanket is quite large so you get a bit of an idea how big Bella is!!!

This is my fave pic, it sums up that cat attitude. "Yes I know your yelling at me to get off, but I shall just sit here and pretend I can't hear you". I didn't want to lift her off in case she stuck her blimmin' claws in and pulled threads in my brand new blanket!!

So now I am moving onto my next project ...

I am currently calling this one my SI crochet project. SI you ask? Why that would be Seasonally Inappropriate crochet!! I absolutely love this Ashford Tekapo pure wool, it is just delicious. But as we are heading into our lovely Summer over here, working on a very large woollen bed cover is probably a wee bit nutso. I adore these African Flowers. Although it has taken me about 6 goes to work the darn things out - now I look back and wonder what the heck it was I was doing wrong. The whole blanket is going to be made of just these four colours with a creamy white edge.

And speaking of seasonally inappropriate crochet ... I am really jealous of you lovely folk on the other side of the world who are heading into chillier weather. You get to make gorgeous crochet pressies for Christmas - because over here it's not really that handy to receive a woolly hat or scarf when on Christmas day we're outside having a BBQ!!! I'm thinking at best I can whip up a few tea cosies??

Have a fabulous week all. See you soon.
