The Postman Came

The postman came.

So, the other morning the postman was struggling a little as he manoeuvred a large parcel over the gate. 'Cheers met' and there it was - my lovely, lovely yarn.
We'd been up Helman Tor the day before, looking for the heat wave, and I'd snapped away in all directions and marvelled at the beautiful Cornish colours:










As I slit open the parcel and the yarn came tumbling out, I was not disappointed:




I loved doing the other ripple blankets so much that I decided I definitely wanted one for myself. That wave effect seems so soothing and the yarn really does seem to ripple along as you hook away - so excited!

The colour scheme called out to be divided into greeny-yellow fields and bluey-grey sky, so I set about organising my ripple rows. Then I dropped everything on the floor and thought 'what the heck'. I couldn't wait any longer and just started hooking random colours together.

They do seem to have come out a bit fieldy at the moment though, so I think I'll stick with that and let you all know how it goes. I'm off to do a bit more...
