Introducing ‘Tutti Frutti Daisy’ Granny Square Blanket.

Well as promised I’m delighted to be able to introduce and show you my newest creation. Tutii Frutti Daisy blanket – I so love the colour combination here, and hope you do to.
IMG_0420
The blanket is constructed from 7 rows of 7 squares across and 7 rows of 7 square down. A total of 49 squares. Each square has a pink central daisy flower and is then surrounded by 7 different colours.
I think the colour work in this pattern is gorgeous and so very pretty and cheerful. The pattern contains explicit colour guidance for each and every square – so 49 different colour combinations.
The finished blanket measures 54“ x 54“. The blanket could be made larger or smaller by increasing or decreasing the amount of squares used.

The pattern  is now available in my Etsy store click here

Blanket Busy

It seems like a while since I did much blogging so thought I would have a quick update. The weather here in Scotland has definitely turned as we head through autumn and towards the chilly months. Consequently I’ve had lots and lots of requests for blankets and am busy working on about five different blankets.
207-0717_IMGThis one is going to be a rather large granny square blanket for number three son. He wanted a blanket that wasn’t girly so despite the pink I’m just stash busting but using black in between each colour. I quite like the effect but there is still much work to be done and I’m almost out of black yarn :-(
207-0718_IMGI’m also busy working on a very thick chunky granny blanket for number two son who is more interested in practicalities (warmth) than appearance. I haven’t managed to photograph his blanket yet but it’s thick, red, bright and grows ridiculously quickly.
207-0722_IMGI’m also busy working on a floral vintage style granny square blanket – now you can see why I’m almost out of black yarn.
207-0724_IMG Lots done but still lots to be completed.
My Mirasol blanket which I began in April has been consigned to the WIP (work in progress) pile for way too long. I will turn my hand to that in the next couple of weeks and the weather no doubt becomes harsher. Pictures to follow.

And finally Happy Birthday to number one son :-) The photograph is somewhat dodgy but pinched from his facebook profile pics.

Inspired by all things tartan and especially the Edinburgh Festival and Tattoo. I’m delighted with how it resembles woven tartan fabric.
