Stripy Blanket

This was the first blanket I made that I liked.  There were a couple before this, but they remain abandoned or unfinished.  The wrong colours, the wrong yarn/wool, lack of experience and skills.

This is B's stripy blanket.  She came to the wool shop with me and picked out the colours herself.  There were a few I kept trying to put back, but she insisted.  As such, it is very BRIGHT and not the colours I would probably choose for myself, but she loved it and still does.

She used to line up the colours she wanted me to use next.  She counted the stripes every day.  She was so excited when I finished it.

It's had a wider border added since I finished it.  I ripped out the old one and re-did it about a year later.

Wool: Stylecraft Special DK. Acrylic

Pattern: Granny Stripe, Attic 24

This was also before I got my super shiny Tulip Etimo Hook which I absolutely LOVE.  I was getting a lot of wrist pain before I bought this.  I do still get pain, but that's because I crochet too much!
