The Stripey Blanket, Half-Way There
The winter blanket project (pattern here) is half-way through, and now it covers my legs and waist as I work on it, which is handy in the cold.
A Catherine Wheel in beige and white:
The latest Granny Stitch rows:
I've added splashes of bright pink or blue or green, but the underlying color scheme of this blanket is more subdued. Much of the yarn was given to me by a very generous friend in Alabama, sometime last year I think, and at last I chose this project as a fine use for it. To her skeins of muted beiges and browns and light blue, I've added a few other smaller skeins. So I didn't really need to buy any new yarn for this blanket, thankfully, because my guest room was bursting with yarn already! I like how it's turning out. The variety of it keeps away winter boredom, and making a full-size blanket is quite rewarding.

A great use of your gifted yarn and bonus to use some of your stash! It looks great.
The patterns and colors of your design are very pleasing!
Wow, you are doing GREAT with this. The colors are nice and it's good to use yarn in our stashes.

Could we have a rough pattern for this? Just a row by row description?? Love it and think it would make a great into Spring project!
This stripey blanket is turning out great. Loving how colorful it is.
I've bookmarked the directions to this -- I love it! Still have another blanket to finish, and I don't even remember how to crochet, but still . . . yours is beautiful!
Oh, it's so pretty! What a lovely thing to have for cuddling up these cold nights!
