Brightening up January

Hello!
I'm not a fan of January, it's far to dull for my liking.
 Time to brighten it up a bit!
Dawn this morning was beautiful.
Very cold
but very pretty!

The main part of my new blanket is done.
I still need to sew in the loose ends, and I'd like to add a border. I think the border will change it from a large crochet square into a blanket.


I made the little fiddly flowers to go with this blanket

I was thinking they would look nice all the way around the edge.


P thinks it might be too much!
I'm not sure, I really love the idea of a blanket surrounded by flowers! 

Till next time!

    I think the flowers would look really nice (but would take ages!!) what pattern did you use if you on't mind me asking. I love how the leaves are behind them.

    Your blanket is GORGEOUS! I think the flowers would finish it off perfectly. I love your choice of colours too - very Spring-like! X
    I'm having trouble with leaving comments through typepad btw which is why this is through Google (pinkgreen) XX

    Your blanket looks really nice with those sweet flowers. I've just posted about the one I'm making which is "Roses and Daisies" so all flowers!

    I love your colors! Oh this blanket looks SOOO cozy wonderful!!

    What yarn are you using? Is it an acrylic?

    PS - looks like a variation on a shell stitch. Sort of like this:

    I wouldn't put the flowers as a border, but rather randomly placed on the blanket.

    Wanted to say - I've been searching all over for a matching pattern as this blanket is simply to die for. I've had no luck. I think it's a variation of a shell stitch. Could you share the pattern?? Pretty please?

    Beautiful blanket! How long did it take to complete? What size it is?
    I think you should put the flowers just along the top edge, maybe the bottom also, but not all the way around.

    Hi! I'm not sure why there is a problem with the link to the pattern. I had a play and it should work if you click the word "here" at the end. Please leave a comment if you have any other problems. xxx
