Creative Space: Isometric Blanket in progress

This blanket has a story... 

I was so excited a couple of weeks ago. I came across these paper 

products, xyz notes, and for the first time saw how this pattern was 

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?
