Business and pleasure...

First the business....A quick heads up that my online yarn shop is selling Stylecraft Special DK in a flash sale at almost 50% off...just £1.20 per ball... whilst stocks last.  

Pop over to www.stocktoncrafts.co.uk to grab a bargain.

Now the pleasure.... A couple of days ago I received this lovely 

email from Janice who won the BBB2013.  

It is to everyone who contributed to the blanket as well as me...

Helloo

Soo I want to say thank you to you Jill for the chance I had to winning this stunning blanket.  also can you thank all the ladies as well..I love every block and that. i have a special touch in my home from from all over the world.  I will be taking it to my knitting /crochet group i go to , to show it off.

And the winner is.........

 The Beautiful Blogger Blanket 2013 is finished 
and it is time for the draw to find our winner.

First some photos of the completed blanket....

Not as large as last year.. 

it is as long as a double bed and as wide 
as the top of a single bed. 

TA-DAH!! 

This is almost the whole blanket... standing on the wobbly bed isn't helping! 

Some close-ups..

My favourite photo! I like the way it looks when it is rolled up!

Draped elegantly over a garden chair!
