I have an Ikea tray in my Kitchen behind the sink it sits....
The new yarn I am working with, Caron Simpy Soft, Aran weight and super soft and not as stretchy as some acrylics this one is more cotton like, has all the colour almost exactly so i will be making a stripy blanket with these shades
What stitch to use?.....

ReplyDeleteIt was a great weekend wasn't it? make me smile to the memories xx
DeleteI think it's funny how you used an Ikea tray for color inspiration. I bought a tablecloth from them YEARS ago (and, of course they no longer offer it) that I loved so much I bought two more and made roman blinds for my two living room windows. I am now using them as color inspiration for *my* next blanket! I haven't decided the style of blanket yet as I just finished a HUGE striped blanket for my daughter and I'm pretty much over doing another like it. I'm thinking granny squares or hexagons this time.
ReplyDeleteHi Goosefairy, love to see the blanket when its finished, know what you mean with doing a blanket in stripes..one is enough for a while hey? Love the tray always have and always will so thought it a good inspiration for me, and when i had the exact colours in the Caron, i just had to make one lol xx
