Attic 24

Attic 24 year Lucy took the colours of a harbour as her inspiration. My colour order is:. In March I spent a glorious day with friends at Sculpture by the Lakesattic 24, we hired a private space there, The Pavilionit was glorious.

Autumn in England lasts for September, October and November, then deep in the winter on the 21st of December we are suddenly at the shortest day of the year with fewer hours daylight but the days then start to lengthen again by two minutes per day. We all start looking forward to spring. I was surprised by number eight. The smell alone is enough…. I think this weekend is due to be sunny and warm again. Yesterday I met a friend for tea and cake and a wander. I saw a woman wearing tights and boots, there were lots of umbrellas up and an array of raincoats.

Or more of a zingy feel with complementary stripes? You can see from the photo below which layout won! Although Lucy uses her colours in a random order, I opted for a repeating pattern as after a day at work, it meant I only had to reach for the next ball rather than think about colours. To make sure I could remember the colour order, I made a note on each yarn label to indicate its position in the sequence. As I began to work my Granny Stripe blanket I decided I needed another yellow stripe to break up the turquoise and cloud blue — the beauty of using this yarn is that its easy to find in the UK so getting hold of my 18th ball was no problem. Before you start your blanket Lucy recommends making a small 21 chain sample — this is a top tip and it really helps you to understand the pattern and how it is formed. By the time you are onto row 4, you will be well away! The way my blanket worked up, I was able to get 5 stripes 10 rows out of each ball of yarn. To work my blanket border, I used 3 more balls of Stylecraft yarn. Again, I thank Lucy and her Attic 24 blog for my border inspiration! To keep the corners smooth, I worked 3 UK trebles into each corner space. The Picot style edge was worked into the back loops of the previous round to try and keep edge-curling to a minimum. That would be fabulous, I made my friend a granny striped square blanket, her son carries it everywhere with him.

February I will be somewhere in Bridport at Posted in Crochet , Photo Challenge , travel. The theme stays open all month, just leave your links in the Comments. I chose Bridport as it is my old stamping ground and where Lucy grew up. Your blanket is fantastic. So I left a green yarn tail and added a little wrap of yarn so the petals can be secured with a stitch or two. The Rhubarb Ripple is my favourite which is funny as I just grabbed a few colours out of my pack of Stylecraft to try the ripple stitch for the first time.
