Rounding the year off with a set of matching crocheted lap blankets. I call them Starburst and Rainbow.

Last winter, I spent a lot of the time feeling too cold, but too lazy to grab one of the many full sized blankets I had around the house. They were too heavy, too ungainly, and just looked messy when stacked anywhere.

Towards the end of winter, I started making Rainbow (right) but didn’t have the wool that I wanted to finish it off. On Boxing Day, while sitting back drinking sangria and watching Gilmore Girls with @omgshinies, I finished Rainbow but realised it was too fun to make and I didn’t want to stop there. Rather than making the mistake of yet another big, heavy blanket, I started a new one with the excess wool I’d grabbed for the original blanket. 

After crocheting and unpicking it multiple times, I just finished Starburst yesterday. 

Now I’m looking forward to winter…
