Blanket Part 5

Although it seemed like a good idea at the time, I removed the lime stripe (Cascade 220 wool, 'Citron') as soon as it was completed.

 

The "knit 2 together, yarn over" detail on the sides is nice.

There are only a few more rows till it's done.  The grey marle is a perfect neutral to alternate between the nine color stripes.

Fall Ahead

These blocks are destined to become a Bento Box quilt. The colors are very autumn-ish, mostly brown, gold, orange, olive and turquoise.
Thanks to Lucy at Attic 24 and the crochet tutorials she's posted on her lovely blog, I've put about a hundred hexagons together this summer. Most of the wool is Cascade 220, twenty different colors. I'm going round and round crocheting a narrow edge on it now to finish it and attempt to fence in all those colors!
I'm so grateful to have learned this new hobby, and Lucy's blog has spread through the internet and inspired hundreds and hundreds of crafty people to put bright happy colors into their lives.
