      Cosy Cal based on Attic 24 Part 5 Scandinavian style

      Cosy cal on a frosty morning
      7th December  



      The Lucy blanket is growing and looking good.  It's keeping my lap warm as I crochet and I am still finding it therapeutic.  Have you seen Lucy's?  She has completed all 90 stripes and it is looking gorgeous, her colours really are stunning, I am very tempted to make another in her colour choice too...


      This week the colours are:

      121 & 122  Parchment
      123 &124   Stone
      125 &126   White
      127 & 128  Silver
      129 & 130  Stone
      Week 5 colours of the Cosy Cal Scandinavian style
      131 & 132  White
      133 & 134  Parchment   
      135 &136   Silver
      137 & 138  Cream
      139 &140   Stone
      141 &142   Cream
      143 & 144  Silver
      145 & 146  Stone
      147 & 148  Parchment





      The blanket is really a great size already and now covers the coffee table and then some...



      Second Sunday in Advent,
      so two candles are lit

      I love the stripes
      in black & white too


      


      I just loved the frosted blades of grass
      and dashed out to photograph with the blanket
       

      I have set myself a challenge of taking a photo a day in December and thought you may like to see the first weeks efforts! Not only is the challenge to take a photo a day, but that everything should be home crafted and not commercialised, fingers crossed I manage it.  To follow this on a daily basis, head over to my Facebook page:  https://www.facebook.com/eclectichomelife
