Our nearest is the North Sea but I'd have to make a sludgy browny grey blanket to resemble that most of the time!

I grew up near the north east coast, Patricia, so I can identify with this. Off to Northumberland soon for my fix of sea air - hope the sea is more blue than brown/grey!
Really, while you're in my neck of the woods I'd suggest popping into Sheds of Wool at Choppington if you get the chance. You'll get a laugh at the amount of stock he has if nothing else!

I'm so glad you hit on a design that your hands can tolerate. Still, you need to be careful that you don't overdo.
Did you still do 6 knit sts, 6 purl sts, alternating after 8 rows?
I think we all like this 4-panel look, and I'm now thinking of other crochet sts that might look good if done this way.
K3P3, 4 row baskets on 6mm needles. Knitting this smaller + slightly tighter kept a dainty, feminine and light feel when knit up xx
Thank You!
Patricia, your blanket reminds me of our sea today. Blue , whitecaps and shining brightly.
I agree! it is so like the ocean waves with the whitecaps and sea foam.
A Blue Blanket.
Another winner, Patricia, also makes me think of the sea, which I really miss now that I live right in the centre of the UK!
