I've made several moaning comments about The Blanket of Gloom that I have been working on for my sister:
The muted colours really did not do it for me, but I know they are more to her taste. Well...apparently, she said to Ma that she had loads of throws and blankets (though nothing of the crocheted variety), that what she would really like from me is another slouch hat. I made her one last year, and made one for Fin a week ago:
So, I get to make her something that she really wants, and I can transform The Blanket of Gloom into The Blanket of Happy by working lots of cheerful colours into it. It will be perfect to cover the sofa in the sitting room that is colonised by the livestock, when we have 2 legged visitors.
So, happy for me and for my lovely sister.
Great solution, everyone is happy!! Can't wait to see what you do with the blanket of gloom!! Love the yarn you are using for the hat - I'm a great believer in using lots of colours whenever possible and love all the self striping and multi textured yarns!
ReplyDeleteThe Fairisle effect yarn was what I used for Fin's hat. I am still awaiting instructions from my sister! The one I made for her last year was in a deep purple Merino yarn - very soft and Snuggly.
