Making Ripples

A bit more than eighteen months after I started it, my circle-in-a-square blanket is finished. Well, almost finished. There are a few ends still to weave in.





While I still think the one that Jo and I made for our Grandmother a few years ago is stunning, I am quite happy with how this one turned out.




I hold Tania completely responsible for what happened next. As I finished the last of my edging, I looked into my basket and thought there was a fair bit of yarn left. Suddenly, out of nowhere, a ripple blanket started. I really should be further along but I seem to have to unravel two rows for every one I get right. Must pay more attention. This will be the perfect project for an upcoming camping trip.




We are also trialling a new paint colour, having lived with our bright blue walls for about as long as I can stand. We inherited the colour when we moved in, and the photo below really doesn't capture the full horror.




I think the new colour is much more relaxing, or will be when the whole room is done.
