Although I don't like a lot of colour or clutter in my surroundings, I like to work with colour in my crochet projects.
Before Christmas Bendigo Woollen Mills had a sale so I bought some of their 200gm 8 ply wool. I prefer to work with wool rather than acrylic.
So, with no particular project in mind, I bought one ball of each of these colours...
And four balls of each of these...
I decided to alternate the purple and fuschia above between the other colours. I really like the colour combinations and the way the lap blanket is turning out...
And The Ragamuffin Gospel is my bedtime read....
Beautiful colors, I love it.
ReplyDeleteI read that book several years ago, let me know what you think of it when you have finished.

Hi Bean! Yes...I love the colours too, they are a pleasure to work with.
ReplyDeleteHave gotten side tracked on the book as one from the library I reserved has come in (The Shipping News) and I am reading that.
I really enjoyed Brennan's All Is Grace autobiography. Have you read that?
Beautiful lap blanket! I love the colors you chose. I prefer to work with wool, too.
ReplyDeleteThanks Susan. I've gone off on a bit of a tangent though and am now doing smaller granny squares to make into a baby blanket, after seeing a pic in a magazine :)
DeleteLynda, I love the colors. Very pretty!!! The setting for your blog is so peaceful and lovely.
ReplyDeleteThanks Janet :) xx
