Crochet Blanket for #needleworkmonday

Hiya Steemit Crochet Family

I wanted to get involved with @crosheille's #needleworkmonday (thanks for pointing me to it @fiberartists!). Ok, I know it's Tuesday but I'm always late :p.

Here's the blanket-come-bedspread I crocheted last year. It was an organic process and shows how easily bored I get with a stitch! Each time I changed colour, I went with a different stitch to add a new texture or pattern.

It was a great way to use up the yarn I had sitting in the to-do bucket.

My process: well, I haven't really got one. I don't like rules or rigid guidelines too much. I don't use patterns or worry too much about how many stitches I've got going on. It's all done by eye and feel. For me, crochet is an organic process and that's what appeals to me. BTW... does the purple row look like a row of whales to you? :D

Anyway, it took ages to make but the result was a warm and soft blanket that adds a splash of colour to my bedroom.
