Posted by vicki brown on

I've been meaning to share this with you for ages (well since I started my ombre blanket back in January), but I've finally got around to writing up the pattern for the ombre blanket I'm making with the mini's from The Mini Skein Club (I'm using the DK weight yarn in the ombre set). It's a super simple stitch, but I think it works really well for a blanket, it has just the right amount of interest for me, but it's also mindless enough for evening crochet alongside TV watching.

Posted by vicki brown on


A few weeks ago I found myself magically transported to a log cabin in the countryside surrounded by super lovely crafty ladies. Whilst on said trip I finished one pair of socks and got halfway through another, before declaring I was bored of socks (for now). Luckily with all the aforementioned lovely ladies on hand, before I knew it a skien of yarn was thrown at me (courtesy of Kate) a crochet...
