Jumping On The Stripey Granny Blanket Band Wagon ........
.
Life is so hectic at the mo.
.
My new kitchen is being installed, & is looking fantastic, new flooring in the hall ( soooo pleased to see the horrible old carpet gone ) trying to cater for two little men surrounded by chaos & dust & trying to keep the house in some sort of order !
.
So what better for the soul & my sanity than to start a new project. I fell in love with Lucy's Stripey granny blanket as soon as I saw it, I tried to reason with myself 'do you really need to start yet another blanket Tania, no BUT wouldn't it look great on the sofa in the conservatory'. So before I talked myself out of it, I choose & ordered 16 ball of Stylecraft Special DK .
.
Two days later it arrived via Mr Postman. I must say that for 100% acrylic I'm impressed, the yarn is soft & the colours are lovely & bright. With two little men about I am hoping that it will stand up better than wool with every day wear & tear !!

I have already done 12 stripes so far & will be posting some progess photos tomorrow.

  1. Loving the colours you have chosen ~ it is going to be a lovely blanket. Do you think you could possibly list the colours that you have used when you post again? A stripey granny is definitely the next thing on my to do list :O) x
