The next blanket




The next blanket, #189, is back to the reds. I wanted to include orange and burnt orange yarns, but it turned out to be fewer than I had thought. I added greens, yellows and beiges, and it looks very colourful and bright. It was fun knitting, but it would have benefitted from some unifying yarn.

The next blanket

The next blanket, #188, is a light one, using the never ending white yarns.  White is a popular colour for yarns found in charity shops, and I acquire them when I buy bags of assorted yarns.  At one time I tried to get rid of them, but now I have learnt to appreciate the shade they add to the blanket.







This blanket also has several cotton yarns that add texture and wool in interesting shades of green.  Softness comes from Paton's white Fuzzy Wuzzy which lasts a long time, for 10 gr balls.  I like the wool boucle yarn and the handspun.
