I may already have mentioned once or twice that I am having a baby very soon (did I mention that... sorry I'm just really excited about it)! And I want to make something very special and heirloomy for him. A gorgeous blanket made with love. Having very few pennies and not really enough to splash out on lots of lovely new yarn I decided to face the bitty stash that I have already. After rewinding it, it turns out I have quite a few lovely colours to turn into something.
With the addition of a huge ball of chocolate Cascade Eco Wool, I have found the perfect project to inspire me... the
Sunshine Day Afghan by Alicia Paulson.
I love the combination of bright solid colours against a muddy tweed background. Just gorgeous!! Hopefully I'll have it ready in time for winter!
You have a wonderful selection of yarn, the colours are fantastic. Your blanket will be gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThat selection all lined up is just inspiring in itself!! That will make a fabulous blanket!!
ReplyDelete[I must confess I saw the words stashbusting and the image and came over to instantly buy the entire lot...]
UAU! these pictures made my day! thank you :)
ReplyDeletelooks like it will turn out to be adorable!
ReplyDeleteit's strange that I have never thought of rewinding my leftover stash. it would make it so much easier to see what I could make of it, instead of just being a big mess in a big nylon bag. thanks for the idea...
It's an enviable stash - beautiful colours. They'll look stunning. What yarn is it?
ReplyDeleteoh my goodness that is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWith those gorgeous colours of yours it will be lovely.
You'll love it! I'm working on it and really enjoying it; although my stash is not that great.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a little rainbow! Beautiful! I'm sure you'll make a gorgeous blanket out of this yarn.
ReplyDeleteAhhh, with those colors (and the Cascade addition,) the inspiration, your talent and skill ... you will soon have an heirloom creation to tell that baby about in years to come.
