Hello! How is your week going, good I hope!
I have been to a funeral today, which always leaves me feeling rather flat and emotionally drained, so I am here to share some bright and colourful pictures as a little antidote to the sads.
I hope you are all not too sick of seeing this blanket, it is finally all together and totally complete! Yay!
I think this was one of my most enjoyable make of recent times, I love using this cotton and the colours just seemed to work together so nicely, it was a really fun crochet time.
I am thinking of making another one in cool pastels of mauves, lilacs, pinks and mints, I think that would be lovely too!
And the sewing together went quite smoothly which was good, I was worried it would look messy, but I think it has gone together quite neatly!
....a few people were wondering what the back looks like, so here is a picture of the front (above) and the back (below), as you can see there is not a lot of difference, just the seam is a little more noticeable on the back. :) You've gotta love tapestry crochet for that, it makes a great reversible fabric!
So that is a wrap for the Big Heart Blanket! Thanks for all the nice comments you have left recently, I really do appreciate all the kind support I receive over here on the blog and also on Instagram, everyone is so super nice!!! :)
One other thing, I have actually written up this pattern and finished loading it onto my Ravelry store, so I now have a grand total of 2 patterns for sale over there! lol.
Here is the link to Ravelry if you are interested to have a go at one of these yourself! I don't think it is available to the UK at the moment, I have to have a look at how to do that with the new tax laws over there.
Talk soon!

Well done, looks great. That is a huge undertaking, I'm still struggling with dishcloths. I can't imagine creating a whole blanket!
ReplyDeleteVery impressive, such beautiful colours.
ReplyDeleteI just adore this. Because of you I keep making wash cloths. Just adore tapestry crochet and this blanket is stunning. A bit sad we can't have the pattern in the UK yet though. Sorry tj hear of your loos and sadness. Sending hugs x
ReplyDeleteLovely, so colorful and merry! : )

ReplyDeleteThat is the the most beautiful crochet piece I have ever seen! Love it.
ReplyDeleteSorry for your loss. Big hugs, maybe you can get lose yourself in crochet today.x
ReplyDeleteNot sick at all! I love it!!! A cheerful site. I'm thinking this would make a lovely baby blanket, a bit smaller of course. (Which I'm in need of making.) lol Just finishing up a triangle scarf in sock weight yarn, so I'll need another project to start. ; )
It's just STUNNING Jules, I love it. Really hope we'll get to see it on the UK Ravelry soon as I'd love to give it a go,

ReplyDeletethis is absolutely divine! well done! I hope you feel better now with all the bright colours (hug) but my I can't get over how lovely the blanket is, all the lines and shapes are so crisp as well. I think a pastel/mauve blanket would be stunning :) jenny xx

ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful!. I am sorry for your loss.
ReplyDeletePlease share it at my link up today or tomorrow ;)
It is amazing, I was so surprised to see such a neat back, I was expecting a lot of yarn carried across. My daughter says it looks like Andy Warhol's work! I've got her next to me saying Muuuuuuum!!! xx

thanx for sharing
Está muito lindo!
ReplyDeleteAs cores estão super bem escolhidas. De facto é uma dificuldade que tenho é escolher cores, mas a Julie escolhe-as divinalmente.
Beijinhos e parabens
I am so sorry about your loss. I am glad the fabulous colours in your heart blanket can help you to feel a bit better. I think it is magnificent and thank you for answering my question before I got to ask it which was whether the blanket was reversible or not. I like the depth of the 'v' at the top of each heart. A very effective motif with perfect colour combinations - a beautiful blanket, well worth the wait. xxx
ReplyDeleteI hope these cheerful, bright, beautiful colors brought you some comfort today. You are an amazing artist ~ you have such a way with color. I will never tire of seeing your lovely creations. This is absolutely gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteWarm Regards, Lisa in Oregon
It's lovely! I really <3 that blanket! ;)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful blanket and I love it ❤ it looks amazing in that cotton too. I'd love to use the same cotton and make a nice single size blanket like this, yet sadly I think that would be way over my budget. I might have to try making it in something else, maybe Caron Simply Soft :).
ReplyDeleteI just checked Ravelry and I'm delighted that I would be able to buy it, I'm from the UK and was a but sad when I read I might not be able too. I am assuming you sorted it out and used the deal ravelry secured with Love Knitting. Great to see as I'll definitely be buying this pattern sometime to make this blanket. I love it a lot!
Thanks for sharing and great photos too :)
