Boos Mummy

 Can you believe we're at the end of the crochet along? This colours were all the beautiful muted pastels that I have totally fell in love with for the last few weeks. I'm making a note of the colours of my favourites so that I can buy them again for something else...although the scraps from this blanket will go towards my Stashbuster .  The end of Part 6 and my blanket has all the stripes done. Next was Part 7 - the borde r, this usually takes me ages to do but as I was on a deadline I made a concerted effort to not pick up anything else until it was done. I wanted to get the blanket all finished, washed and posted down to my wonderful Mother-in-law as a surprise for her birthday which was very near Mothers day.  I've really enjoyed crocheting this blanket, the pattern looks great and is deceptively easy once you get into the rhythm. I posted it down to my Mother-in-law and she loved it..phew! If you fancy making your own Meadow Blanket Lucy at Attic24 keeps the pattern...

 Lucy over at Attic24 announced at the end of 2020 that she had a new crochet-a-long starting in January...how could I resist?   I ordered the pack from Wool Warehouse quick before they ran out of stock, Lucy has called this blanket Meadow and the colours are wonderful. Again they're all Stylecraft Special DK so easy to get hold of and great to crochet with. It seemed a long time from getting the wool to the actual CAL starting, I'm so impatient when I want to start something new!  Friday 8th January part 1 came out, kids all sat doing schoolwork via Microsoft Teams so I happily started my blanket.  Once I got the hang of the pattern (not hard and very fulfilling) I was away. I've now got into a routine so I don't fall behind as this blanket is for my mother-in-law and her birthday is 2 weeks after the last part of the CAL comes out...eek!  Mon-Fri I work on my stitching or knitting but the weekends are my crochet blanket time. I quite enjoy sitting watc...
