Unfortunately, five years on I've not keep any records of colours or quantities. You may ask Little Woolie about quantities as it is her pattern. As for the colours, perhaps take a photo and ask for some assistance in a wool shop. Sorry I can't be more helpful, good luck!

Glad its not a skirt - lol!! I had a similar problem with my first granny stripe. No matter how loose I tried to do the initial chain, I kept getting a tight first row. In the end I increased the hook by 2mm for the chain and first row and then reverted to the normal size and now all is well.

I love the colours you've chosen and am in awe of your crochet abilities!<br /><br />I too have tension "issues" - I always start off too loose then tighten as I work.

I am making a blackberry stitch cushion cover at the moment, my first time bobbling, very easy and it keeps really straight, you will be glad to know!

I'm glad I'm not the only one that has been undoing rows!! <br />Bobbles are ok, I did a little tester patch about 30 chains long and did bobbles in 1 colour first, then when I was happy with them I changed to 2 colours, did a few rows and only then started the bobble row on my blanket! Saved any disasters on the blanket!!<br />As for blocking... I have only blocked once and it was easy-peasy :) But you will need lots of room to block a big blanket!!!<br />Happy crochet!<br />Karen x xHenry's Shedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15992367272332165579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8847691085922543875.post-22498300596911479572012-09-28T09:47:06.294+10:002012-09-28T09:47:06.294+10:00Looking good Trudy!
