A well-travelled blanket

Photograph of granny squares blanketThis blanket started life in July on the Hot Aire! Belgium tour.  Squares were also made in Canada, Thailand, Laos and en route in France, Amsterdam and Qatar.  There are 100 squares and it measures 150 x 150 cm (approx).  For some of the time I was working on two blankets simultaneously (the other is in this post) because the first blanket was in the process of being made up and therefore too large to carry around).  I am really, really pleased with this blanket (and so is Rosie); the colours glow with warmth and it is extremely snuggly.

There are two main types of yarn in this blanket: the solid colours are Jarol Heritage DK which I bought in the local market. There is also a lot of Yarnfair Stripes DK which I bought from Wilko and a single 100g ball of a a stripy DK yarn in fairly dark shades that came from a nearby yarn shop.
