ReplyDeleteThank you everyone, it was such a gorgeous project to work on and I was itching to share it! The yarn is to die for, it suits this square so well. I wish I could really go mad and buy boxes full of Melani's hand dyed Aran. If you live in South Africa - go mad, go big and make a Colours of Grace blanket! I have to make a another blanket that is for sure, the design is a treat to hook!!
