Anyhow, it's cold too - quite unlike yesterday!
So, as it's Sunday (nothing is open, no where to go etc) I thought I'd continue with the stripey crochet blanket I started yesterday evening. Inspired by Lucy at Attic 24, I bought some acrylic yarn in a variety of colours from Masons, and it arrived yesterday (well, half of it, anyway). Hopefully the rest will arrive on Monday, but at least I can start the blanket.
I ordered 26 balls - each a different colour, and intend to do a stripe (two rows) of every colour in the blanket - obviously I will need to repeat the stripes too! I really hope the rest DOES arrive tomorrow, as I'm on the last two colours now!
The yarn is really inexpensive - £1.25 a ball - and they didn't charge much postage out to France, which is wonderful. I love the blanket so far...
...and the yarn is dead easy to crochet with - I didn't find it 'squeaky' at all, and it feels warm and cosy, which, well, is perfect for a blanket!

Hi Kelly Jo. the yarn I used is what Lucy (Attic24) recommended - Stylecraft DK 'special'.
Lovely blanket, can't wait to see the rest!
I love Masons, they're only 5 minutes away from me and spending a few hours in one of the shops is one of my greatest pleasures!
We've had a beautiful weekend here mais les cordes sont arrives ce soir!
