Wool on Sunday

Once again linking with Janine’s monthly feature Wool on Sunday over on her Rainbow Hare blog. here

This month Janine wrote about 2 lovely projects...I loved both! 

So this last month I’ve finished another of my scrappy chevron throws with the same colour ways as usual because I usually buy yarns in my favourite colours! Lol



This is one of the 4 throws that I started mid last year; casting on, knitting about 6 inches on each then popping the started project into a ziplock bag. My reasoning was that I would be more likely to pick up a project that is already started and continue with it rather than dither around when I knew I had to cast on 200 stitches and do foundation rows. And it worked! I now only have 1 project left and 3 throws have, or will have gone to fundraising for charity. 
In last month’s WoS, I wrote about the rainbow baby blanket that I had made for our #5 granddaughter. This prompted DsD3 to suggest that maybe I could make her a rainbow blanket 😉. But instead of the waffle stitch pattern of Meredith’s blanket, DsD3 wondered if she could have something similar to Holly’s blanket that I made in 2017...
Holly on her blankie...note that ‘same old same old’ favourite pattern of mine. 😉😆


So here is the progress on this latest rainbow blanket using just the 7 colours. 


And I’m using a yarn brand I haven’t used before, Paintbox. It’s a lovely soft yarn and very nice to work with. 


With the weather looking like it might at last be cooling down, I look forward to some ‘good knitting weather’.
