Happy Monday everyone! I've had a few enquiries recently about my Granny Stripe Blanket, regarding the order of colours I've used. So I thought it might be useful to post up a list, so that anyone who wants to create something equally as Rainbow-tastic can do so!!
I know what it's like to see somebody else's work and think 'Wow, I'd love to re-create that project!!' and how helpful it is when the crafter generously writes up a comprehensive list of the yarn and colours used. So here's my offering.....
Yarn - Stylecraft Special DK
Hook Size - 3.5mm
Foundation Chain
:Pomegranate
Two rows each of the following colours
:Pomegranate :Lipstick :Shrimp :Saffron :Sunshine :Spring Green :Meadow :Aspen :Sherbet :Cloud Blue :Aster :Turquoise :Denim :Bluebell :Lavender :Wisteria :Clematis :Magenta :Plum :Lipstick :Bright Pink :Fiesta :Fondant :Pale Rose
*:Pomegranate :Shrimp :Sunshine :Saffron :Spring Green :Meadow :Aspen :Turquoise :Sherbet :Cloud Blue :Aster :Denim :Bluebell :Lavender :Wisteria :Clematis :Magenta :Plum :Lipstick :Bright Pink :Fiesta :Fondant :Pale Rose
:Pomegranate :Shrimp :Saffron :Sunshine :Spring Green :Meadow :Aspen :Sherbet :Cloud Blue :Aster :Turquoise :Denim :Bluebell :Lavender :Wisteria :Clematis :Magenta :Plum :Lipstick :Bright Pink :Fiesta :Fondant :Pale Rose**
Repeat from * to ** as many times as you like to achieve the required size blanket

I'm still striping away, not sure when this particular project will be finished. I've done 174 rows so far, and at over 6ft wide it's been quite a task. I'm hoping to add a really nice border to it.
Hope this inspires a few people?!!!
Happy Hooking x x x

Your work is so beautiful. I could spent hours and hours just looking at your stuff (especially right now with loads of stuff to read for my German studies *sigh*)
ReplyDeleteHave a nice week!

Absolute colour heaven.
ReplyDeleteVery inspiring! I am especially grateful for the detail picture with the names of the colourways. I tend to get overexited when crocheting (ahem), and just rip of the band which says the colour. Such frustration when ordering online and trying to compare a strand of yarn I ran out of with the colours on the screen! (I have to order my Stylecraft online, it isn't available in Belgian yarn shops, tssss) So thank you! :-) Ooh, I just wanted to add that all of your pictures are amazing, you are quite the photographer! xxxx
ReplyDeleteSo gorgeous and cheery! xo Heather
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful, stylecraft yarn is great for a blanket it has such a lovely drape and it comes in so many gorgeous colours doesn't it!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful blanket. I love all the colors. I have a thing for bright colors. They make my heart smile. It will be so lovely. You've inspired me to do on after I finish the baby blanket, the birth sampler, the granny square blanket, the big square afghan. ARRRGGGG. So much, so little time. Love your blog.
ReplyDeleteSo please I found this post! I love the colour combination, might not use it for a granny-stripe but definitely going to take inspiration! Just discovered stylecraft and loving its cheap & cheerfulness. Also love your use of white to off-set the brightness, its something I'm feeling inspired by at the minute! Have to use up the rest of my "lucy pack" first though. Laurelin. x
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I'm working on the granny stripe pattern from Attic 24 myself, I just fell in love with it the minute I saw it.
