Well I know I should be getting a wriggle on with the Easter bunnies and my Mothers Day hearts but at the moment I am opting to do some super easy crocheting and I am getting on with my stripey blanket. I get one row done each evening but have now got an estimated 28 hours to go - yay! So at my current rate (without working on it at the weekends) it should take me 5 more weeks of evening crocheting to get it finished - so excited!
Its a long term project that honestly didnt feel like it would ever get finished but I have enjoyed having something that I can pick up and put down again without any stress of deadlines.
I am planning to do a large throw for my sister and her husband for Christmas which will probably be my next large project. But I am going to speak to my sister and ensure she wants one before I spend all that time and money on it. I think they will use it as they have a habbit of bringing their duvets downstairs in the winter and they love snuggling on the sofa watching films. Although she does have a thing about itchy wool which I need to be careful of. I'm thinking an Attica 24 inspired bright coloured either giant granny square or stripey blanket would be perfect. The wool isn't itchy or too heavy (and I imagine Stylecraft is easy enough t wash?!) which should be perfect. Their front room is brown but maybe brights mixed in with a lot of neutral white or black would work well?? Maybe?!
