Daisy Blanket - TaDah!

Hello all - I hope that you had a good weekend and that your start to another week has gone smoothly?  A quite relaxed weekend really, we enjoyed some sunshine yesterday (along with some gardening, lol!) and it's been a lovely, bright day today.  Just a shame I missed a lot of it whilst being in an office!  But it's been so busy at work that I don't exactly get chance to gaze longingly out of the window lol!  My son has had another full day of exams and I can hear a bit of relaxation time going on upstairs as I'm typing this - i.e. he's playing his guitar! I'll be pleased for him when he's finished.

And I did manage to finish my baby blanket this weekend. I really enjoyed making the crocheted daisy granny squares. It's quite a simple pattern but has a lovely effect. And then I tried the joining method that Heather gives a great tutorial for on her fabulous blog, The Patchwork Heart.  And please forgive the overload of photos!

I loved using all the different colours, and then used white for the joining rows.

I've used Stylecraft Special DK yarn, which I love using - great value and a great finish. It seems to wash and wear well too. The finished blanket measures about 40" x 28", and I've added a sweet edging to it.

If you've never tried crocheting, please give it a go! It's such a relaxing but rewarding craft! 

I hope the new owner of the blanket likes it.  In fact, I may make another one for me - it's a great 'stash-buster' of a pattern, to use up all the leftover yarn that it's so easy to acquire! 

Thanks for looking - and thank you as always for your comments and support.

Back soon,

Kim x
