Hello there.
I finished this 'Spice of Life' blanket last week and today the sun obliged by lighting the back garden sufficiently to take a picture. It's crocheted in Stylecraft yarn again - there is just such a wonderfully complete range of subtly graduated shades in this top quality, budget priced acrylic yarn that to do a big workaday project like a blanket in anything else makes no sense.
The blanket is quite a small one though, about cot blanket size, so it didn't use up a complete ball of any of the colours. So I've added to my stash - aaargh! Here's where doing cute little amigurumi figures can come in handy.
This wee fella is a zebra - oh yes he is - and these three colours left over from the blanket work quite well, don't you think? I'll need to find lots more critturs like this to make to use up all the half balls of Stylecraft I seem to have accumulated. It's a mountain of yarn, I tell ya.
This pattern is from a booklet of toy patterns which was a give-away with the latest copy of Crochet Now magazine. This is a new monthly publication which features lots of well-written and reasonably simple crochet patterns.
The first edition also had an article about my Most Excellent Daughter-in-Law's new venture and the podcast she is putting out each month with
Lynne Rowe.
