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...

Two very different 'looks' but both fab!
Two lovely bright and cheerful blankets, Amy.
Beautiful blankets especially the second one.
Well done Amy, both of these are so thoughtfully made x
These are gorgeous Amy.
Woo Hoo...you have been very busy, Amy!!
Two GLORIOUS, colourful blankets. I have been trying to pick my fave, but just can't decide...hahaha. Part of me loves the colourful, 'randomness' of the left one, while fighting against the delight in the symmetry of the right one and also its colourways in the variegated yarn. I am a conflicted 'gemini'. :))
Completed blanket, I'm a bit diagonalled out now:-)
Yes Wow,Wow and Wow they are stunning Diane.
WOW!! This is a BEAUTIFUL blanket, Diane!! LOVE all the different colours you have used.....and sooo neatly executed.
This is a truly incredible blanket Diane. So precise and neat.
Agree with Patricia...you have earned a rest from triangles.
