I'm planning ahead really - during winter I like making a blanket in front of the telly. What I want is
- Not too heavy or too light a yarn (so something between Chunky and DK)
- Not too many colour changes (I abandoned a blanket that was granny hexagons with colour change on each round). Ok with colour changes every few rows of a blanket.
- Really simple, mindless, repeating pattern that I can spot where I've gone wrong because I was watching telly too much.
- Cost a maximum of £30
I've done a few blankets, big granny square, horizontal granny stripes, lots of little grannies joined. I've done some crochet along ones that have a different stitch every few rows - I got a bit funned out by them.
