yarn along - blanket finished and another on the go................

My yarn along post this week is not dissimilar to last week's in as much as blankets are the predominant feature - I have finished the Amalfi cotton granny square blanket - I could have gone round and round for ever but alas the wool ran out. The blanket is a lovely size for a small child to snuggle under and I am fortunate to have an abundance of small grandchildren (lucky me) It's also perfect for throwing over your lap to keep your legs warm or even around your shoulders - I am very pleased with it.

I'm pleased with the double crochet border................

I just love blankets...........................

As I am very much in the mood to keep the rhythm of lovely treble crochets and granny square corners going I have launched straight into another blanket. This time the wool isn't quite as luxurious (stylecraft DK) but it is crocheting beautifully and I am very happy with the colour palette - it's growing rapidly and yet I don't seem to have had very much spare time as half term means lots of grandchildren activities. I've also been using a new bamboo crochet hook - Lis Harvey from FunkyNeedles sent me one to try and it's embellished with a lovely silver crown bead, it's very smooth to use no snagging on the yarn.

I have chosen 6 different colours but I'm not sure they have been captured very well in the photo...................

Reading has mainly been dipping into my Mollie Makes magazine which arrived earlier this week. As usual it's bursting with lovely things to do and it features one of my favourite bloggers - Ingrid van Willenswaard, if you have time check out Ingrid's amazing blog here

I hope if you have time you will pop over and check out Ginny's blog for a peep at the rest of this week's yarn along posts and also Kirsty's blog for some other creative ideas.

Thank you again for your lovely comments, I love reading them all - hope you have a sunny few days as it looks very promising for the rest of the week.
