One of my "big" tasks for this year is to take new photos for all my current designs, and get all my shops looking their best with snazzy new pics. I'm still not brilliant at taking photos, but I've definitely improved over the years and some of the older listings definitely need a bit of a revamp. Plus there were all those days when I took a "temporary" photo to get something listed quickly and never got around to going back and taking a fancier one (tsk tsk).
I'm hoping to have a few big photo-taking sessions later in the year, but in the meantime I'll be snapping a few pics here and there on sunny days and updating my shop listings when I can. I just got the first listing updated today - the large red poppy brooch.
It's very exciting to see how the patchwork squares look sewn together, and to start to get an idea of how the finished blanket will look.... and, of course, it will be so much easier sewing the squares together / sewing in all the ends bit by bit instead of having to do it all in one go at the end of the year.
Plus, though I've always loved the idea of knitting this blanket I have to admit that I was a little bit worried about ending up with a very strange looking object at the end of it, but I think all those mottled blues and greys look rather lovely together.
UPDATE: My poppy design is now available as a sewing pattern! Visit my shop to see all my printable PDF patterns

The poppies are splendid, and I think the mottled blues and greys of the sky blanket look lovely, too.
The sharpened pencils gave me a chuckle! :)
I love, love, love the red poppies! They remind me of the red poppies we are given here in the states around Memorial Day and Veterans Day. I think you may call it Rememberance Day. Wouldn't these make a nice gift for someone with a veteran in their family? I just love your work!
Love those poppies! Supercute :) And I like the sky blanket a lot, too - such a cool idea :)
xo,
wink
love a newly sharpened pencil..love the smell of the shavings!!!
your red poppies are delightful..just gorgeous!
LOVE the blues and grays! Whenever I join knitted squares, I always end up with a cute side and a weird side that looks like one giant mess of seams. How do you join yours?
Honestly I was a bit skeptical about the sky blanket as well. But the squares are crisp and the colors varied enough that it really works for me. Love it.
those poppies look gorgeous! :)
Robin - my blankets end up a bit like that too, but I try to stitch the squares together loosely enough that I can pull the seams as flat as possible so it's not too bad.
