It's me again...
Are
you as astonished as I am? Yes, this is my second blogpost in one day.
But I forgot to write about the blanket I made during the winter and
which I took with me to Denmark to take some nice pictures at the beach.
After I had finished my "Tiny Granny Blanket" (you can find pictures of it here) I had so much leftover yarn that I decided to do another blanket. I was not feeling well that time, around autumn last year, and I was looking for a simple pattern that I could just 'hook away'.
I chose the granny stripe pattern, just simple granny clusters in all the Stylecraft Special DK colours I had in my stash.
And here it is hanging over the railing of our holiday house in Denmark:
My wonderful blanket that gave me so much joy when I made it!
Every time I started hooking these rows I forgot about my worries and my poor health. Hooking is a kind of meditation when the pattern is easy, isn't it? Working on this blanket was really therapeutic. I didn't really care for the colour sequence, I just wanted to use up all that was left from my other blanket. So it was very easy to work on this blanket, no pondering about neither the pattern nor the colours.
I am in love with this colourful blanket, and it is doing very well on the beach, as well.
The border is a simple one, as well. One round of granny clusters in Sherbert, 2 rounds of double crochets (US dc) in Aster and Meadow, 2 rounds of single crochets (US sc) in Lipstick and Cloud Blue and the crab stitch (also Cloud Blue) as the finishing round.

It is a big blanket, as all my blankets are that I have made so far. We are all tall in our family and it is important for all of us to have warm feet when snuggling under a cosy blanket. It is 2,02 x 1,35 m and I used the following 18 colours:
Pomegranate, Plum, Fondant, Lavender, Spring Green, Aster, Turquoise, Lipstick, Shrimp, Saffron, Meadow, Green, Magenta, Sherbert, Cloud Blue, Claret, Wisteria and Clematis.
This blanket is frequently used by all of us but my son likes it best. He always tries to get this blanket when he is snuggling on the sofa. It makes me very happy seeing the kids using what I have made.
There are already three handmade blankets in our household. I still can't believe that I have the patience and the perseverance to finish a blanket. And there are even more ideas for blanket in my head. I think that the blanket fever got me. However this is an illness I like to have!
Take care,
Viola
