HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
Welcome to our first 'themed' month for 2024.......
DIAGONALS and STRIPES!!
When thinking of diagonals, I liken it to climbing a mountain (or maybe a small hill. I'm afraid of heights!). You can go quickly at the bottom (short rows)....but then as you near the 'summit', the 'path' takes longer....until there you are... 'at the top' (finished increasing your stitches) and then you're laughing, 'cos now it's downhill (decreasing stitches) all the way.....and by the time you approach the finish line, you're practically sprinting (through those last, ever-decreasing rows)!!
Stripes, in all manner, including diagonal stripes, create some of THE most snazzy and interesting blankets. They are also a good way to use up any little leftovers you may still have, hanging around from other projects....Thin stripes, thick stripes, diagonal stripes....all fun, all pretty, all GREAT!!
Let's start the year off with a BANG!!
CoM (colour of the month) is...

I don't think many of us are finding that it does what we want it to, Pat! Lovely bold diagonals, anyway.
LOVELY, snazzy diagonals, Pat!!
Oh dear, I share your pain. I can't get my photos to post small on this new site. As soon as I finish editing them smaller and click reply, they come up big again.
5 Diagonal Stripes.
If we get them we'll keep them together for one blanket. They're striking!
It would be nice to see all of these incorporated into one blanket, they would really stand out, great squares
Lovely diagonal striped squares Pat👍
Lovely striped squares, Pat. Right side up, upside down or sideways, your beautiful stitches shine through ... xo
Your work is always so neat Diane. I love the striped pink mix colour combo.
Super intro Bev...love all the diagonals and the bright orange for CoM.
