Heritage Blanket CAL

 

 

 

 

 

 

As lid van die facebook groep Ons Hekel was ek dadelik geinspireer deur die opdrag om 'n kombers te hekel wat deur kleur en ontwerp iets simboliseer wat vir my belangrik is.  Die collage hierbo is my inspirasie.

 

As member of the facebook group Ons Hekel, I was immediately inspired by the Heritage Blanket CAL.  The colours and design of the blanket must symbolise something that is important to me.  The collage above was the inspiration for my blanket.

 

Pringlebay......My Happy Place. 

 

Die kleure simboliseer die fynbos, sand, see en berge.  Die blokkie is die Rosy Posie patroon www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/rosie-posie-grannie-square wat my laat dink aan die Koningprotea wat elke jaar in my tuin blom.

 

The colours symbolise the fynbos, sand, sea and mountains.  The square is the Rosy Posie pattern, reminding me of the King Protea that flowers in my garden every year.

 

This will become a very big King Size blanket....my mom always used to say that as long as you can cover your children with one blanket, you have very little worries.  My kids long ago outgrew one blanket....my only solution is a bigger blanket!!

 

Die beplanning:

 

20 x 18 blokkies  = 360 blokkies en daarna nog 'n randjie.  Vir die eerste keer gebruik ek JAYG.  attic24.typepad.com/weblog/joining-asyougo-sqaures.html

 

I am planning 20 x 18 squares = 360 and a border.  I am also making use of the Join as you go method for the first time.  See the above link to Lucy's blog.

 

130 squares done - winter is here and my Heritage blanket is keeping me warm while working on it.

 

 

 

Ek sal vordering weer post.......I'll report on my progress.

 

 

Al done and I am so happy.
