Chuffed to find this morning that a facebook group I'm a member of (Archers fans who also like crafting - it's a bit niche!) has chosen to feature one of my projects as its cover photo. It was a blanket I made mainly to use up acrylic aran left over from a load that that I'd specifically bought for another blanket and I didn't want it hanging around. It's a small thing I made for the cat, who's inevitably ignoring it. |

Fantastic, SK! Cats are SO like that. Knit them a blanket, they'll ignore it or pee on it. Leave a cashmere jumper out on a shelf you think the cat can't reach, and as soon as you turn your back it'll be on the floor under the cat. |

HB, it's called Upstairs in the Craft Room (an offshoot of a closed group called Upstairs at The Bull). I've stuck it on Ravelry now: ravelry.com |

Love it, SK! I've seen another Skittles blanket highlighted somewhere on Ravelry in the last few days and can't remember where it was. It's such an effective design. I've got a baby jacket blocking and have had an enquiry from a colleague about "if I ever knit clothes for baby dolls". Having established that the size needed is "3-5lb prem" I might just have a play with some tiny things. |

I'm going to do another CAL in January & February: attic24.typepad.com . Although it's stripey, which makes me think about lots of ends to deal with, I know I can do a border which involves just crocheting over the ends to tidy them up rather than weaving them all in. |

Sallykate I'm doing it too but with a different yarn. I love attic24 stuff and this CAL has broken my not buying yarn I've got too much already promise!

Will you be doing the colourwash or posy version?

Oooh I didn't see there were two versions: I just looked at the (sold out) colour pack and have ordered a ball of each one there from another site. Though one of the colours was down to the final ball in stock so I just hope it turns up! I am going to do it double size and suspect it will be adopted by my daughter, who looked at it and loved the colours. |

Yes, the same colours, but one will be more random stripes and the other will have colours closer together, she's doing a blog with details soon, it will have a hidden file in it so people who don't want to see the two will be able to avoid seeing it. attic24.typepad.com In this blog post there's a bit about it, however I do know there will be real pictures coming up as a few of my friends have made both versions for her and oh my, it's gorgeous and swayed me into making it!
