Grey

I am rather hoping that my little stash which I shared last week will yield two lovely blankets.  I know that there will not be enough yarn for two blankets, but the palette will be shared between two very different projects.

I completely adore grey, and plan to paint the living room this colour.  Painting a room takes a lot less time than crocheting a blanket, so I thought I would give myself a head start.

I like my living space quite muted, with my family providing the colour, but I also like a peaceful and restful room which is both comfortable and tasteful.  One of my blankets will cosy up a leather sofa in this room.

I loved the other blanket which is not yet finished (ahem!) and wanted to do a similar one, but this time sashed in beautiful Shale Grey by Rowan.  Sumptuous grown up colours bound together with an elegant grey border.  I love it with all my heart!

Some of the little circles appear random and clashing in shades until they are joined with woollen clouds of smoke.

As I said in my last post, the dusky dove grey days of January make it a challenge to take photos, but I think my little circles both benefit from, and are complemented by the murky light.

They look beautiful, and they all compliment the grey perfectly.

I love the grey colour. I'm thinking of painting our bedroom the same colour if we can summon up the energy to steam off the wood chip wallpaper first. Your blanket will look wonderful with it. A x

Beautiful, I was actually brought here to your article from a pal. He suggested it since we were having a talk about this subject the other week.
