Sometimes you just need a spot of no-brainer comfort knitting, to ease yourself back into the working world. That's exactly what's happened to me this week, with the start of the new school term. I picked up my 64 Crayons blanket, and have been knitting away on a strip. Beautiful stripes of Noro yarn, with some unexpectedly pleasing colour combinations.
I have now finished three of the strips - two narrow and one wide. I thought it was about time I saw how they looked side by side.
Of course someone else thinks it's for her - we'll just humour her for the moment, shall we?!
I have my next two balls picked out and shall start a wide strip this evening. It's starting to feel just a touch autumnal in the evenings, and the idea of snuggling on the sofa with a cosy blanket is rather appealing! xxx

Looking very lovely, and so is your cat. How many balls of yarn does each strip take? I fancy making something similar myself for my new sofa.
Flo you are so cute! Your blanket is coming along nicely!
Yummy Noro stripes. Nothing beats it for comfort knitting!
Yes, humouring is probably the best option! Your blanket is looking great; I love the colours, especially in the first photos.
That's a beautiful yarn!
Looks like it's going to turn out as a big beautiful bundle of cosiness! Perfect for this beginning of term busy-ness :D
