This blanket has a story...
I was so excited a couple of weeks ago. I came across these paper
so simple... three diamond shapes in white, grey and black and they
give the impression of a 3D box! Of course I immediately saw it as
a crochet project and more specifically a blanket.
Can I also admit here that I was more than just a bit excited about
creating something new? So now for part 2... I contemplated calling
this post 'If it has a name then it's been done before' but well, you
know, as prophetic as it might be it is a tad wordy ;) So, why is it
prophetic? Well yes, you guessed it... it's been done before! A third of
the way through the blanket I came across this image on Pinterest...
Luckily it was attributed - the fabulous work of Jellina in The
Netherlands and you can see her post about it here. It looks as if
the diamonds are smaller on hers and she must have hand sewn
her diamonds together (rather than crocheted them as I did)
because the joins look much neater with sharper points.

Anyway, that's my story. As I said, it's only a third of the way done but
I'm going to keep going. I really like this blanket and I want to do another
one too... I'm thinking natural, coral and charcoal for next time.
Ravelled here... I've finally got to updating my Ravelry account which is now
called Paravent Design. Slowly getting rid of all the 3 Sheets! ;)

Did you have a creative drama this week? Have you made something
and then found it's all been done before?
