Attic 24

Autumn in England lasts for September, October and November, attic 24, then deep in the winter on the 21st of December we are suddenly at the shortest day of the year with fewer hours daylight but attic 24 days then start to lengthen again by two minutes per day. We all start looking forward to spring. I was surprised by number eight. The smell alone is enough….

This year Lucy took the colours of a harbour as her inspiration. My colour order is:. In March I spent a glorious day with friends at Sculpture by the Lakes , we hired a private space there, The Pavilion , it was glorious. I hope Miss P will like the blanket. I think her sister might want one as well, I wonder what colours she will choose. Posted in Crochet. The annual Attic24 Crochet Along is always such a lovely event to be part of.

Or more of a zingy feel with complementary stripes? You can see from the photo below which layout won! Although Lucy uses her colours in a random order, I opted for a repeating pattern as after a day at work, it meant I only had to reach for the next ball rather than think about colours. To make sure I could remember the colour order, I made a note on each yarn label to indicate its position in the sequence. As I began to work my Granny Stripe blanket I decided I needed another yellow stripe to break up the turquoise and cloud blue — the beauty of using this yarn is that its easy to find in the UK so getting hold of my 18th ball was no problem. Before you start your blanket Lucy recommends making a small 21 chain sample — this is a top tip and it really helps you to understand the pattern and how it is formed. By the time you are onto row 4, you will be well away! The way my blanket worked up, I was able to get 5 stripes 10 rows out of each ball of yarn. To work my blanket border, I used 3 more balls of Stylecraft yarn. Again, I thank Lucy and her Attic 24 blog for my border inspiration! To keep the corners smooth, I worked 3 UK trebles into each corner space. The Picot style edge was worked into the back loops of the previous round to try and keep edge-curling to a minimum. That would be fabulous, I made my friend a granny striped square blanket, her son carries it everywhere with him.

This was taken on the beach on a windy Sunday in February this year — hard to believe. Edit: To see attic 24 finished blanket click here.
