We have a logo!

Thanks to the fantastic Paul Maloney, we have our logo which will appear on the blog, on leaflets, posters and most excitingly, on the blankets themselves when they are finished. I'm now feeling better (ish) after coming down quiet spectacularly with swine flu and hoping that this week Forever Blanket number 1 will be finished. Keep an eye on Instagram for updates.

Viola's

Today's post was very good. Not only were there no bills but this months Simply Crochet arrived (even though I'm not best pleased with them) and this gorgeous collection of squares from Louise @loupeggylou. My favourite this the purple and yellow one as it reminds me of my viola's I have growing out the front. So pretty. Thank you

Has made this gorgeous and bright square from 2 strands of 4 ply. So bright and cheerful, it reminds me of a mango solero.
