Use it up!


Yes, well, we all know this most definitely applies to moi LOL So I'm still being a good girl by diligently working my way through that stash 😉


This is the "oddments bag", filled with balls of varying sizes leftover from the most recent stash-busting blankets I made for Beverly, Ellie and Arthur.  So it's mostly a mix of Stylecraft Special and Scheepjes Colour Crafter; I'm also throwing in the leftover West Yorkshire Spinners Bluefaced Leicester and Ayre Valley.  It's therefore a mix of acrylic and wool/nylon yarns but is all double knit.  Hopefully so long as the blanket is washed on no more than a 30C wool wash, fingers crossed all will be fine!

I decided to make this blanket out of solid colour granny squares.....well, I say "solid colour" but some squares will have to be mixed (as you can already see!) depending on how much I have left of any one particular ball LOL  I'm using the join-as-you-go method and it's working up more quickly than I thought it would, which is very pleasing as I have an ever-increasing list of other things I want to get made 😄

It will be interesting to see how much is left in that pillow-sized oddments bag when this blanket is finally finished.....
