The yarn has arrived!!!!

Hi Everyone

Being someone who easily gets bored doing the same thing over and over again I have decided to endeavour to make a crochet sampler blanket.  (What did I just say about boredom and doing repetitive tasks?)
It is many, many years since I did any crochet but as its back in vogue I thought it would be a good time to dust off the old crochet hook and give it a go.  To this end I am going to follow Michelle at theheartfeltcompany who has suggested making 4 squares of the same design each week for 42 weeks.  She is going to give instructions for a different square each week.  At the end of 42 weeks (if I get there) each square will be joined to make a wonderful blanket!!!!!

So the yarn was ordered.............
 
 



And today it arrived.........

 
 
 
It was so exciting opening the parcel............
 
 


To find a rainbow within.



I can't wait to start.

Of course if it doesn't work I'll have to find another use for a lot of yarn.  (Note to self:  think positive Philippa.  You can do this.)
