Mixed Stitches

Happy Sunday one and all.  It was a nice week and then the rain is back BOOO..

I started a few things over the last few weeks the first is…

I am using Drops Paris Cotton Yarn for this in all colours.  I bought some ages ago and I really didn’t know what to do with it.  Then cam along a lovely pattern called Mixed Stitch Blanket and of you are very new to crochet there are picture tutorials for each stitch in full colour.

The other blanky I am working in is called The Country Fresh Blanket which is from yarnspirations and the good thing is its FREEEEE!!!

Unfortunately the yarn is an American yarn from Patons called Decor, I did pay an arm and a leg for it, but it was worth it.  The colours and the texture of the yarn is so delightful to work with.  *SIGH* I really wish i was one of these people who can substitute yarn well.  Can you use a similar yarn to the one that is recommended, or you you also go for the recommended yarn?

Anyhooo I am off now to do a little bit more.  Have a fab week!
