My new design, Chasing Rainbows Finding Tulips Blanket, is finally ready to launch.
This is a huge one! Six months in the design stage and more than three months in testing.
I decided to use rainbow colours for this one, partly because I had quite a bit of leftover yarn that could go towards it, and partly because my mind kept drifting toward rainbows.
Rainbows can mean many things to different people. Me? I simply like rainbows.
The name — Have you ever wanted something badly, but life turns you in another direction? You don’t get what you thought you would, but you end up with what you need, or something unexpected. Chasing Rainbows – Finding Tulips.
Now, a bit about the design:
This intermediate to advanced crochet pattern includes written instructions, step-by-step photos, and symbol-style charts, with both US and UK terminology provided. Worked in rainbow rows with an embossed tulip texture, this blanket is perfect for makers who love colour play and floral motifs.
