Happy New Year to you. Are you able to move or are you still stuck in that comfy chair? This morning was a shock to our household and none of us were ready for normal routine to resume. I love the holidays, love the children being at home, love the fact we are not ruled by a clock and totally LOVE the fact that the children do not need nagging. But alas, the alarm woke us up with a start and the 'five more minutes' moans resonated around the house.
However, I am embracing this new year and excited about the new things to discover and challenges to be faced and met...bring it on!
But before we can jump head first in to 2015, I thought I should post the last project from 2014, that of the Attic 24 cosy CAL. I loved this project from start to finish and am a little sad to see it completed. So, I begin a new blanket on Thursday with six lovely ladies joining me at my home. Excited does not even cover it. I also have a hankering to make another cosy CAL in the near future with gloriously bright colours, have you seen the ones out there that people are making? They are fabulous and all look so different yet the same. Lucy, if you are reading this, you are one clever lady that brings a lots of happiness to 'hookers'. THANK YOU. should you wish to make your own cosy CAL, Lucy's clear instructions can be found HERE
So with no further ado, here is my completed Scandinavian influenced colour cosy CAL blanket, hope you like it...

♥ Hope 2015 brings you joy and happiness ♥

ReplyDeleteThank you x
DeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful blanket, I have only just got to grips with crochet but want to start a blanket in 2015. thanksxx and happy new year to you too!
This is such a great blanket for someone new to crochet as it uses the same stitch throughout. Yet I think produces an elegant look. Do it! You will love it x
DeleteYou certainly should be in love with that blanket. :-) And the gentle colours work really well in that bedroom.
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile, I hope you're over the lurgy. Wishing you a very successful year ahead with both hooking and blogging. I wonder whether we should set new year's resolutions for our blogs?
Slowly getting better... Great idea about the blogs, though a little scary. Let's meet very soon...
DeleteYour cosy blanket is fab! I think what makes it so beautiful is that it is so different from all the others around in blog land just now. Although I do love the others too and am planning to buy one of the Attic 24 yarn packs as soon as they come back into stock! Wishing you and your family a very Happy 2015 ~ hope its a good one for you all :O)xx
ReplyDeleteThank you Jackie. I too want to make a courgul one too though as they seem so cheery. Have a wonderful 2015 too x
DeleteHappy New Year Selma.
ReplyDeleteYour blanket is truly lovely and suits the room perfectly.
It is exciting making plans for the next project and sourcing the materials, I will look forward to your posts.

Happy new year too. Yes I am excited so many things to make and gather and do. Nervous for my crochet course which begins soon but excited too ❤️
DeleteCongrats! Your blanket turned out lovely; especially with the beautiful colors your chose. I hope your new year is off to a great start.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Fingers are crossed for a good 2015. Sending you happy wishes for the coming year too
DeleteIt is so beautiful Selma!!! What a wonderful thing to finish off making at the end of the year. A great conclusion to 2014!! I still love the colours and the design, it is so soothing! xx
ReplyDeleteI agree. Craft wise it was a great way to end the year. Thanks for all your comments Amy over the past year x
DeleteLove it!!! Well done on it's completion x
ReplyDeleteThank you so much. I'm a little happy too, she says blushing x
DeleteThe blanket is amazing, I love the colors and the size is perfect.
ReplyDeleteWell done,
Meredith
Thank you Meredith I love the colours too. They worked together better than I expected.
DeleteLove the colours in your blanket.
ReplyDeleteThank you. They actually are quite cosy and soothing too.
DeleteGorgeous! I bet my husband would love it if I'd make one of those. But that would involve me learning how to do it, and I'm not prepared to take that on just now. Wishing you and your family a wonderful 2015.
ReplyDeleteThat made me giggle. You have a wonderful 2015 too. Instead if the cosy blanket to keep him warm, you'll have to cosy up to him to keep him warm x
