A reveal

Hi everyone

I have been working on a gift for about 4 months now.

There was no hurry, so I could do it in my own time.

Purchased the wool as I needed it - which did cause me a few problems when they discontinued one colour and another colour dye-lot's changed.  Thank goodness for Ravelry!!!  I was able to buy a full ball from another member

But I was able to work around it and modify the blanket.

I have given you one very small glimpse of the colours

Colours were chosen to blend with D1's home decor

But as I worked on it, the colours started to appeal even more to me

It made me feel a balance between sea, sky and earth

So it was named (in my head only)

"Ying & Yang"

But for the full impact

Here we go

The edging

Squares which I turned into diamonds

Oh, look at that - it matches!!!

Maybe I should have kept it ☺
