For my Dad

Well i've slogged away all through December and into January and I have finally finished my Dads blanket. I used a sonic wave stitch that i think came from Spicier life cal and then i did a double border which gave it a little extra thickness and weight.
The colours are very autumnal with coppers, golds and spice wool. I picked 6 colours but mixed them up as i went along.

I popped out the other evening, straight after finishing work so that I could give it to him as the weather has started to turn cold... slight mistake as I forgot to change out of my flip flops.. my feet frooze brrr.

Anyway I am now starting yet another blanket inspired by the mosaic patterns of Tinna. She has produced another brilliant blanket (Indiana i think its called) but instead of using hers I have designed my own patterns. Some are similar but others are all my own idea. I'm trying to get a bright skandi sort of feel... but who knows.. we'll see. I am currently reading a book on hygge which is a Danish happy feeling (hard to describe in one word but think cosy, candles, cushions, warmth, snuggling under blankets with a storm raging outside) and a nice hygge feeling blanket will go down well. Especially as we are currently being predicted with snow over the next couple of weeks here in the UK and elsewhere there seems to have been huge amounts already. 

So stay safe, stay warm and find your little bit of hygge
