Teaser Shot

I've been playing around with the layout of the Coastal Aran Blanket:



This is just a little teaser shot. Next up, some seaming and a crochet border.
Thanks again for all your kind contributions - this is a beauty!

Success: We have enough squares for the Coastal Aran Blanket

Friends,
I received a package in the mail yesterday from Jennie (ColoradoMom on Ravelry) - she'd kindly sent 6 aran squares for the coastal afghan. That brings us to the 45 needed to complete this blanket! 


I can't tell you how ridiculously happy I am right now, knowing that we have enough squares to complete the first Bertie's Blanket.  I'll be doing some seaming over the next few weeks, and posting completed pictures here before I send to Trinity Hospice.



Thank you soo much Jennie.  I was only expecting a couple of squares in the mail, but knew as soon as my daughter turned the mailbox key that we'd hit the jackpot with your parcel!  Not only did you provide 6 squares (wowza, thank you), but they are soo beautiful, and I'm loving the floral knit bow that you wrapped them with :)  I'll be using that in the blanket as an embellishment, it is soo very pretty.

What a great feeling, thank you all.
Much love,
Sam

PS - If anyone has aran squares in progress, we can still use them.  Bertie's Blankets will be an ongoing effort, and so I'll be starting a new aran blanket using the same general size/yarn guidelines.  This next one will be using Cath Kidston inspired colours - so we can use blues, greens, creams and add new pops of red and pink.
