This poor crochet project was abandoned for awhile as I wasn't enjoying the colours that much, when I did pick it up again I didn't realise but I had picked up a larger crochet hook! I had done about twenty rows when I realised that my blanket was putting on some weight - it had grown in width by about two inches. Well as they say if you can live with it let it be but no not me. I tried to undo it but it wasn't working so I just cut off the wider part and put it aside.
Some of the wool has been pilfered to make granny squares but this week I decided to give it another go as there was a decent amount of the throw at the right size and it seemed wasteful to not give it a bash.
With the cold weather we have been having it is a lovely lap warmer. Who knows it may get finished albeit a little smaller than intended.
Pattern is from Attic 24 - Harbour CAL
Lovely Hellebores have flowered again this year. Such pretty flowers.
Happy days

ReplyDeletewhats wrong with those colours? Cheerful and warming I think. xx
Your crochet looks great in spite of picking up the wrong sized hook. Fixing is part of crafting - darn it.
