I'm a bit colour illiterate and would hope they supply a recommended sequence with the pattern. Might have to check them out. Acrylic so much more easy to manage for washing etc even though I love natural fibres.

I am self taught and began in January so I still get a bit confused about some things. When you did the edge I realize the corners require 2 clusters.

The granny stripe is just gorgeous - my ends are still bloody poking out though even when I crochet them in as I go along. Not every single one but there's a few. I've given up worrying about them.<br />I agree - it's totally addictive. It's a ridiculous thing to have to admit isn't it. <br />Oh - does Lucy give you the colour order in the pattern too?

I should have no excuses now its colder and every time I see another blanket from you I think "pick it up tonight and you'll be back into it". I think what's lovely about this craft is if you are sitting in front of the TV after your day has ended as least it's also productive. Very proud of your efforts.....congrats.
