Spring
Sampler Blanket Step 2
Yal 2015
Winter is coming here in Australia and if you haven't already noticed, we've been doing a YAL = a yarn along - on the blog and through Instagram. I'm using this blanket as my 'mindful crochet' - no rushing, nestling under it through the cooler months and just taking my time designing and creating this garden coverlet.
There are so many blankets 'happening' at the moment but I just had to make this Spring Sampler. It's been on my mind for a while. It's a refreshing design to crochet and is quite quick to stitch up. Check out step 1 here Spring Sampler Blanket step 1
