I had acquired quite a lot of Scheepjes Cahlista (for two projects that didn’t work out), and decided to use what I had to have a go at a tapestry crochet cot blanket. This appealed to me because I find messing about on a sheet of graph paper quite relaxing. I moved to an Excel spreadsheet for the final adjustments to the pattern. Working with the aran yarn gave the blanket a lovely weight – double what you would expect because you carry a yarn in every row. The edging is not an easy thing to tame, but worth persevering with as the envelope fold hides all of the cut ends. Overall, a very satisfying project.
