And do you know how many skeins it will take? Since it takes so long for the Stylecraft yarn to ship, I want to order any extra as soon as I can. <br /><br />Thanks for putting up with my questions! :) I'm looking forward to the next step.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6172768288628385386.post-9701971159997848132015-05-25T16:23:30.859-06:002015-05-25T16:23:30.859-06:00I love the idea of the extra row in all different ...I love the idea of the extra row in all different colors. Your afghan is going to be so happy! The picot border is an option; however, I have done a variation of the border from my "La Vie en Rose" border. It kind of looks like lace or eyelet.Apple Blossom Dreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10093078561617783503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6172768288628385386.post-74686568545067203852015-05-25T16:21:49.249-06:002015-05-25T16:21:49.249-06:00Oh yes, I do remember the granny square blankets w...Oh yes, I do remember the granny square blankets with the black. They certainly have a charm of their own. I've often wondered if that pattern would be nice in a skirt. Maybe solid black with a granny square trim along the bottom.<br /><br />Happy crocheting Sandra!<br />Apple Blossom Dreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10093078561617783503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6172768288628385386.post-74215213426007909742015-05-25T16:18:53.495-06:002015-05-25T16:18:53.495-06:00Makes me hungry for candy Linda.

I agree that the white gives a lovely fresh feel to the finished blanket and brings all the different coloured squares together as they have a common joining colour!<br />Do you remember the old granny square blankets that always seemed to have black as a last row to join them all up? I'm not a fan of black and never incorporate it into my crochet, but I have to admit that those older blankets had a certain style about them and the surrounding black gave a stained-glass window effect!<br /><br />I have to be careful about typing errors on my new keyboard as the keys are so flat, I sometimes slip over to the neighbouring letter which makes for strange words, often only seen after I have hit the 'publish' button!Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17015603838340372502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6172768288628385386.post-77430720223484610032015-05-22T16:47:37.710-06:002015-05-22T16:47:37.710-06:00Thank you Sandra.

It's not as quick as it seems because I made many of these before I started the CAL - and that darn thing called work always interferes. ;-) Yes, there are two chs in the corner on the pastel row. I bet your roses with the leaf row are coming together beautifully. My completed blanket measures 100 cm x 100 cm - a nice number, huh? And you are correct it is a great size for a baby or a lap blanket. It's perfectly light for a cool spring evening cuddled up on the sofa or a favorite chair watching "Call the Midwife" on the telly.<br /><br />Apple Blossom Dreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10093078561617783503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6172768288628385386.post-4863451843290278602015-05-22T16:39:48.749-06:002015-05-22T16:39:48.749-06:00Hi Amy.

Hmmmm....just my preference I suppose. ;-)<br /><br />Let me know if you ever make the afghan I would love to see it.Apple Blossom Dreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10093078561617783503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6172768288628385386.post-22111008909401155712015-05-22T13:23:25.721-06:002015-05-22T13:23:25.721-06:00Astri, this looks simply wonderful!

Tell me, have you put one or two chains in the corners of the pastel row before the white. It looks as if it might be two. I haven't yet finished by leaf row, but I'm working a little every day as I can manage it. The different coloured rose centres really look good! Well done! Will you be giving us the measurements of the completed blanket?Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17015603838340372502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6172768288628385386.post-89388332068199979132015-05-22T06:09:50.010-06:002015-05-22T06:09:50.010-06:00It looks so beautiful!!!
