ThankieBlankie

All finished!

The joining yarn i found in my stash box goes really well with most of the blocks

And of course i finished it with a crab stitch edging :oD

Thankieblankie!

The blocks are all joined and i'm starting the edging. I don't think it needs anything fancy so i'll probably just do a couple of rounds of half double crochet and finish it with my favourite... crab stitch! :D
I found some multi-coloured wool in my stash that goes quite well as it has purple, green and beige in it so it tones well with all the blocks and although it's not my "thing" i kinda like the blankie overall. I hope the recipient does too :)

Crochet blocks

These 8" blocks have been made for a project blanket that we are making at our knitting club.
A lady who has recently become ill and can no longer knit or crochet has donated all her stash to us so after we'd had a rummage we all took a few odd balls home to make blocks with and we're going to make her a blanket to say thankyou.
I decided to use the patterns in 200 crochet blocks by Jan Eaton cos, well, they are lovely aren't they!
I'm not sure the colours have come out quite right though, the top block is a pinky beigey colour and the bottom two are shades of green :o/

I'll take the book and the rest of my oddments along to knitting group tomorrow and make a fourth square and then i must decide what to cast on next or what to finish... I've not lost my mojo i am just being particularly indecisive at the moment, it's rather annoying!!
