bits of yarn from my stash, all worsted weight

What was your inspiration?

Our charity knitting group makes hat and lap blanket for chemo patients. Bright colours are cheerful. Also this is a stash buster, Many small balls of left over yarn and with this project, they are used.

What are you most proud of?

Learning how to solve picking up stitches in a uniform way by slipping the first stitch and purling the last stitch. And using a diamond shape and making the whole project come out with width and length fairly equal.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

What I did not do. Draw a block pattern and Plan

I really like this idea. I have so much leftover yarn and now it will have a purpose. :) Did you just make small crocheted squares and sewed them all together? Or did you crochet a blanket (like normal) and switch out colors often?
