Crochet Zig Zag Blanket

I have finally started my Crochet Zig Zag blanket. I bought three balls of colour from the Yarn Barn to start with to see how it would look. The length of the blanket is 1 1/2 metres x how ever many balls of wool I end up using. 3 balls makes about 10cm.

What do you think of the colours? My sofa is grey, so I am hoping that purple will go nicely with it. And the zig zag pattern is a bit more refined than the crochet granny squares.

I am busily doing my granny a day for Tori's Technicolour Blanket. I discovered that peak hour on Punt Road can produce two granny squares. I find myself wanting lights to change to amber and for traffic to be busy just so as I can do a few more stitches ....

I have decided that my next crochet wonder will be a zig zag or Afghan blanket for the back room. In black, grey and purple. Once Tori's blanky is finished it will be off to Camberwell Market one sunday to visit the Yarn Man for some Merino wool.

In my travels I came across the Comfort Stitching web site. You must take a look at this talented lady and what she is creating. She also has a tutorial for a zig zag blanket.
