Oh no not more Crocheting

Finally my Blizzard Warning Blanket is done, I've used a Flat Braid Join, the tutorial I used was from here. She used 3 chains which give a holely border but I've seen one for 2 chains which mean't be better. 

So on to my next blanket, this Seaside Winter Blanket vintage style, to be honest I was going to make another Helen Shrimpton design but it got throw across the room to many times to mention although at the time I wasn't 100%.

Just realised I haven't show my completed Lost Garden from Helen Shrimpton. Apologies for the wonky square its the angle and size made it awkward to photo, its a bit fuzzy too but that because the photographer as wonky hands.

I've subscribed to Crochet Now so I don't miss any while they do a CAL with Helen Shrimpton (can guess my favourite designer) and the gift was some fabulous Stylecraft Special DK to make it with. But I have an issue with Shrimp and that the rest of colours are solid apart from that blue fleck.

I also wanted it to be masculine rather than pretty colours so I've added Mustard instead of the pink and Storm for flecky wool. Yes I'm happy now, I think the my subscription copy comes early and should be this weekend.
