back to the blanket...


After a minor diversion (the circles mat is being blocked) I returned to my trusty friend, the pebble blanket today. I was curious to see what 49 hexagons laid out on the floor would look like. Oh my goodness, it doesn't look anywhere near as large as I thought. One quick calculation later and I think I need a minimum of 200 hexagons.


I don't think I will do many of the two-tone hexagons. Just throw the odd one in maybe. If it's looking a bit heavy on the greys, that's because I only had grey in hospital. Here's a better idea of what 49 hexagons looks like...



The two sofa's were delivered this morning... quite like the idea of turning the blanket into a runner, and it seems appropriate since the inspiration was beach pebbles (underfoot) but most of the wool is fairly soft, so I think I'd need to choose something a little coarser to make a runner. Meanwhile, someone has been testing out the new sofa's...
