I remember seeing this blanket when I bought the book - but it worked out ridiculously expensive so I shelved the idea- and I couldn't find a colour near to it in another range........anyway - I got the bug again and have decided to order a few balls at a time as I go along....
This is the blanket -isn't it just gorgeous?
I've also decided to make one of these for taking away in the summer .....
but I 'm going to make it in blue ... three squares done so far ...hope I get it done before our hols ... it might be just nice to sling over my shoulder with bits in on holiday...
there are about 27 squares to make so I reckon I might get a few done if I have a bit of a blitz over the weekend... watch this space !!... Not too confident about the sewing of the inside bit though .....

They are both gorgeous...good luck with them.
looks like a super book. I love crochet and have just lined a bag i finished months ago...you have insired me to make another one :)
Wow! I can't wait to see your bag when it's finished - it's going to have a real holiday feel to it
I'm truly in awe of you and all your talent. I took a crochet class a while back and at the time it clicked but as soon as I got home and was left on my own, that's it I was lost.
Love the bag but that blanket is just stunning. So textural and I love the muted colours.
That blanket is gorgeous! I love the color. And what a super fun bag. Good luck with it!

What a beautiful blanket...and the bag looks cool too! I bought a crochet needle while back in the Uk, hoping to make some crochet doillies and flowers..wonder if I'll ever get around to it!

Oh, wow - both projects look lovely, can't wait to see your versions of them!
Love that bag pattern & good luck with the lining!!
Love the look of that bag, just perfect for the holiday! You'll be fine with the lining, but if you need an extra pair of hands, you know where I am!
