And on to the next one
I just finished the brown stripe and unfortunately the lovely burgandy red I bought in Spotlight doesn't really suit. So I've skipped to the next colour in line and when I've finished a row or so, will reveal that instead. Its such a pity as I really like the red and am not too fond of the rusty brown I'm working with now. I figure its about half way done and I'll be lucky to use it as a summer picnic blanket after all. :( Though the bright side is that it won't be grass stained and I'll be able to snuggle under it for a winter.
The unfortunate thing about it all, is that I started this to start using up my stash of yarn and have managed to 'waste' three balls that won't make the cut. So I'm almost up to the five balls I started the blanket to get rid of in the first place. And that doesn't include the leftovers bits. I also need to stop thinking about the next blanket I want to make. Something with bright colours and a white base to use as a bedspread. Summery and bright to liven up a room and make me smile - not a tall order at all! Though if I'm using it on a bed, it'll have to be a more natural breathable yarn than my current acrylic stuff. Something cottony or wooly, I think. I suppose I could start a Wooleater blanket ala Sarah London. Yum!
