Notes

I started this project since I like the different stitch techniques used, and also as a stash buster.
Therefore there is no real “colour scheme”, however the end result - I find myself - is not too bad.
I plan to maybe use it as a picknick blanket during summer.
Whilst I have been working on and off on this project, I finally completed it during March 2020’s CoVid19 lockdown period.
I hope to reflect back later on this as something positive that came out of the not so pleasant news during that period.

I didnt have enough yarn to finalise the full pattern (unless I had to mix in really unfitting colours) - I skipped part of part 7 and I crocheted into part 8.

I will still block it and then post some new photos.
