I leaving the ends. Normally I like to sew them in after finishing a row, but I've decided to wait this time. I've knotted them together to stop tangles and I quite like seeing the knots with their different colours.
I've used mostly Stylecraft Special DK, but there are a few other acrylics in there along with a couple of acrylic/wool blends. I shall try my best to share the colours with you soon.
I'm pleased to say George was in a much brighter mood after school and seems a little more positive about going than he was on Monday. It was lovely to read your comments, thank you.

Lovely colour combination. I'd be inclined to leave the tassels as is, it looks nice and save heaps of work!
ReplyDeleteVery cute Carole! I love the colour combination :) Hazel x
ReplyDeleteThe grany stripes are looking beautiful. You are inspiring me to give them a go...
ReplyDeleteHi there! Just found your blog. I don't even remember how I got here. LOL. Anyway, I love your striped afghan. Stylecraft is a UK brand, correct? These packs that you order, can you order them in different colors? For instance, are their bolder kits, pastel kits, etc? I would love to know because I had read that Stylecraft is a better quality acrylic yarn and I know that they ship to the U.S. Love your blog, by the way!
ReplyDeleteHi, yes Stylecraft is a UK yarn. Most US folks order from Deramores as its free shipping over a certain amount. I think they only do the one colour pack, which is the colours Lucy of Attic24 used for her granny stripe. I think I've got most of the colours now and it's fun playing round with colour combinations. Glad you like my blog x
DeleteVery pretty colors :-) It's coming along nicely.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colour combination and glad George was better when he got home. No fun for mum when they are down about school.
ReplyDeleteLove your granny stripe! Your color combos are so pretty. Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteEileen:)
I'm so glad to hear that someone else is using the stylecraft as I've just ordered one of the packs from deramores.
ReplyDeleteIt's a fab blanket and great combination of colours.

ReplyDeleteYou are such an awesome blanket hooker!

ReplyDeleteI like the ends knotted like that. Much less overwhelming that way!! :-)
