....Tales of the Riverbank blanket....

....I have returned from my journey.....
 
....a journey that involved me, and a blanket....
 
 
....a crocheted blanket....
 
....a warm and snuggly blanket....


 
....this blanket is big, a double bed size, a campfire size, a Riverbank picnic size.....



.....there are 157 squares, and 140 cluster bobble swags, umpteen balls of yarn.....


 
 .....a most marvellous collection of home grown yarny goodness.....photos of handmade blankets always make my heart leap with joy....







 
....it even got the Molly seal of approval.....


....a bit more yumminess....

 
....and a question...
 
....why cant i wear buttons as earrings?...

....oh......i can..xxx

  2. It is a beautiful blanket!! It looks really great with all of your other ones as well. I can understand your desire to create blankets - they are so great aren't they. Oh and yes, you can wear buttons on your earrings!! xx

  3. Sweet Molly cat almost steals the show =^.^=
    Perhaps crocheted blankets (new and therefore rather green ones at least) are not aware it is unwise to work in front of a camera with a child or an animal, as they say.
    It really is a beautiful beautiful blanket which fits so well with the rest of the group. Including Mr Bear, who looks like a fine fellow and is no doubt the perfect riverside picnic companion.

    You have made me want to learn to crochet. I can sort of knit, a bit, is it harder? easier?

  4. I adore your blog! Your blanket is so comfy looking. I just love making blankets. I am making two of my daughters a blanket for their Christmas gift. I know it sounds a bit early for Christmas gift making, but I want them done on time! Of course you can wear button earrings! I have 2 pairs and they are very easy to make!

  5. Such crafty loveliness, well done. That would take me FOREVER. Miss Molly is so like my Miss Pixie, straight to the snuggly spot in the middle of the bed and black. Purr!

  7. Your blanket just sings out comfort - I love the earthy, calm colours, and the pile of blankets on the bench is so inviting, especially with this grey, cold weather! LOVE the earrings! Chrissie x

    Good idea with the buttons.
