Colour of the Month (CoM) is
BROWN!

Now some might consider brown a pretty boring colour to put in a child's blanket, but there are soooo many shades......and it complements sooooo many other colours. I'm thinking mint green , lemon,  lilac and lavender, turquoise...to name a few. So, if you have some 'browns' lurking in the bottom of your stash, drag them out...this is their moment (month) to shine!!

      Hi everyone, thank you I'm glad you like the blanket.

      Bev the yarn was from Spotlight, but no brand name, it was a 400gm bag of what they call Mill Ends.  I have another bag in mouves / pinks.  The reason I have grey on the corners is because I ran out of pink, so had to do something to stretch it out.

      When mum was in Bendigo I used to buy her self patterning yarn at the Bendigo Woollen Mills shop and she knitted beanies with it, but I doubt it was their brand though.  Sorry not much help with your question.

      Spotlight is only a 20 minute walk away from me, so whenever yarn is on special, I'm there looking for a bargain.  A bit addictive I must say.

        Wow Sandra! You are so lucky to have a Spotlight so close! My nearest is over an hour away. 

        I quite often pick up some mill ends when there....but none as pretty as your self-striping. The pink squares that I have just posted here in April were from 'mill ends'.

        I have also mail ordered from Bendigo Woollen Mills many years ago. Not selfpatterning, but nice yarn to work with.

      PRETTY as a picture, Sandra!!

      LOVE your attention to detail....the colour coordination between stripes and solid colours and your attention to detail, right down to the little triangle of colour on each corner.

      May I ask, what yarn this self-striping is? It's divine!!

      Sandra this is another stunning and oh so original blanket.   The variegateds are divine, and your layout impeccable.   What a clever girl ♥️⭐

      The self-patterning yarn is amazing, looks so lively.  And you've matched it with coordinating colors just perfectly.

      I love these fresh spring colours Sandra, a very pretty blanket.

      Beautiful work Sandra.  Well worth the results...you stitching up those amazing diagonals.

      This is a fun Springtime blanket.
