Crochet and Colour

I'm back from my blogging hiatus. It really just felt like yesterday. If anyone is still coming by, my apologies for being gone so long. 

I've been crazy for colour lately,

 but I just can't be too spendy these days.  

This is a bunch of thrifted yarn and I've also been buying acrylic for a ripple blanket, which I'll show to you soon.

Anyway, I've been making these hexagons for what, I'm not sure yet.

Oh, and see the blanket under the ever present cats? It's my first finished Granny Square project. It's mostly Cascade 220 and it started out as the ripple blanket you see below. 

I just couldn't get into it. The colours weren't what I wanted for a ripple.

So I unwound it all... ( I love my ball winder ) stacked it for a photo, 

and asked my cat if she wanted to be in another picture.

And here's some more blanky photos.

 Hey! Put your claws back in!

Thank you, thank you, thank you, for making a comment, if you do. 

 Oh, one more thing... I've been very inspired by so many beautiful, colourful crochet out there, just too many blogs to mention, but you must check these two out for sure! Attic 24  and Do You Mind if I Knit

Just scroll down and see their crochet afghans. They both finished about the same time and are both started on little squares now.  So much excitement!
