Notes

A stash buster of a project - I’ve based a design heavily on Debbie Abrahams’ Flower Power but worked it in three colour only. Huge slog to complete but worth it. See all the blog posts for details :)

It took me a day to draw out my plan for the blocks!

26/4/09 Got enough yarn now - slogging through strip No.6

30/5/09 - 6 strips sewn up and the “not flowers” blocks knitted for no.7!

21/7/2010 Picked this up again after over a year hibernating while moving house and other projects!!

6/9/10 - Edging completed, blanket photographed with cats on it - and I’m done.
