Checkerboard Baby Blanket
Hook Size: 4mm
Yarn: Vinnis Nikkim 100% cotton, hand dyed
Colours: Pacific blue to join and edge the blanket, Midnight and Natural with small squares in a variety of scraps
Hello! Two days after I started this baby blanket last week, Jenn from Color 'n Cream blogged about the final version of her Pastel Color Bomb Blanket and once again I realised that the granny square is simply one of the most beautiful and versatile of designs. I love Jenn's version, oh my goodness the colours are scrumptious and her edge is to die for! I also discovered the blogs Dada's Place, Small City Gallery (galeryjka za miastem) and Yarning if you would like to explore more amazing work.
Here at the Pigtails Palace The Cat helped as much as he could to finish the throw . . .
. . . and together we decided to edge the blanket in a design by Lucy from Attic24
The Cat then said that the Teen should cover her moods in a collection of our throws (I think he is just jealous as she is a delight and he keeps on occupying her couch):

That Kitty hasn't moved from the couch yet and I need him to open his eyes now to talk an idea for a new filet crochet bag through!
Deleteyes, the new blanket is simply gorgeous….as your cat!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's silly and I don't know why, but when I saw the last picture of your post Lord Darth Vader came in my mind!!!!!!
Happy weekend Magda, xxxxx Ale
Tee hee Ale, I see the Lord Darth Vader too!
DeleteOmg so gorgeous. Maybe i start one immediately...
ReplyDeleteThank you! It was such a relaxing throw to make for a change, not having to count any stitches but simply enjoying the rhythm of the hook and the feeling of the yarn.
DeleteIt is a pretty one indeed. And you started this last week? I´m impressed.
ReplyDeleteAnd that is such a cute assistant. Everyone should have a furry helper, they really are helpful. ;)
This was so quick to hook as I realised one can hook a granny throw with one eye closed!
DeleteYou are a very creative woman, Magda! I like your work! much!
ReplyDeleteand you are right! granny square is really a beautiful motif!
Kisses fdrom catalonia!
Thank you so much Cristina! Mmmm I have yet to travel Spain and have to say it is long overdue especially since I do like the food and architecture so much!

ReplyDeleteI love all of your blankets....even though you have a totally different colour palette from Jenn (as I love her stuff too)...you both have great style and taste and design!
