Inspiration

In the July edition of Country Homes & Interiors there is a little photo of a Green gate blanket which caught my eye straight away.

 
I loved the colours and the idea of mixing up the crochet stitches. And so began my hunt for yarn.

It would have been easy to do it in cotton yarn as they have done, there being a huge range of colours of cotton available, but I'd got it into my head I wanted to do it in chunky yarn. Probably the weather to blame for that train of thought! It proved a lot more difficult to find shades anything like the ones pictured.

Anyway, after much hunting, taking into account cost, meter-age, wool content etc etc I decided upon King Cole Magnum Chunky. This is what it looks like so far.........

 
Whilst the colours are not the same I think you can still see where my inspiration came from. It should be finished about this time next year! 

We are now stocking Magnum Chunky in Crafty Angel.
