Another Granny Blanket Ta-daah!

*WARNING* lots of photos

I completely forgot to post the pics of my latest Granny Blanket.  I kind of lost interest half way through as it took f.o.r.e.v.e.r. to work up since I used 4 ply wool and a 3.5 hook.  I was then waiting to find out the sex of it's recipient, and then dithered about which type of edging to use.  At one point I used the wrong shade of cream and had to frog about 5 hours worth of work - gah!

Anyway, here it is...

Up close the colours are lovely and are the same batch of yarns used for this blanket...

but somehow I think the mix of the turquoise, orange and lime green dominate and look brown at a distance.  Better colour planning next time.  Nevertheless, it is soft and snuggly and should be the right size for a cot or just for building a den!  The edging is very simply, UK Tr's in cream and UK dc's in blue and green, a couple of rows of UK sc's, with a little picot to finish it off.    

Come to think of it, I don't think the other blanket had a ta-daah so here are a few pics quickly...

If I remember correctly, I added cream shells all the way around.

I've also managed a few more scarves and cowls, all very simple UK Tr's for a long/wide as you require.  Obviously we won't be needing them here for a while....!

I think my mirror needs a clean...
