Yeah! I have finished my latest rainbow blanket and it shall be winging its way to my customer later today. Although my arms are aching a little today after a mammoth weekend of crochet to get this loveliness finished I really enjoyed making it again. The simplicity of the V stitch gives a soft textured finish especially when using Stylecraft Special DK yarn. It's funny though how you just don't realise how long it takes to make a blanket this large until you are making it for someone else. When its a gift for a loved one you just hook away and don't think of the time aspect, when making to order you realise just how much love and effort goes into making something that is going to be loved for many years to come by someone you haven't even met. I hope a special little girl in Bristol is going to love her new blanket.
This is my place to share my love of crochet, knitting and other crafts I like to do. Also sharing my love of pets and my caravan. Life is tough and we all need to escape at some time, even if it's just playing with squishy yarn or taking the dogs for a walk in the countryside. Life is too short so do what you LOVE to do x
