My 4 day blanket

We have had really horrid weather this weekend. After things starting to look like spring this is what arrived....

This really does not do it justice, there was a drift up to my front doors that was about 2 foot deep.

Before all this snow started falling my great stitchy friend over at Quietly stitching told me that Aldi was selling wool at a VERY reasonable price and in my great excitement I rushed over and bought 3 big balls of Aran ( the princely cost of £14.97).  Such was my eagerness that I got started straight away stopping all other projects.

Well, 4 days later, and with the help of a borrowed 8mm hook and some inspiration from here I came up with a lovely chunky blanket...

 the details: 3 Balls 400g aran
                  : using 2 strands of  yarn switching 1 out every 3 rows.
                    : simply rows of sc and dc
                    : finished size: 132cm x 100cm ( just big enough to be really cosy in the lounge-  and child friendly sized)

I can't believe how super quick it was. Now to return to my rainbow blanket, cath kidston inspired granny square blanket and my current cross stitch.

So lovely to see there has been some visitors to my little blogging space, welcome and Thank You.

Hoping for some warmer weather...

Happy week all
