Guess the colour??? Give-away!

I know you must be sick and tired of me going on about my never-ending mood blanket, after all I have been making it on and off for over two years now but I am so pleased to tell you all that it is almost finished and I am planning the great reveal at the end of the month!  I know I can hear you saying why not now? because first...

I want to thank all my lovely followers for being so patient while I have moaned and gone on about this blanket over the years. 

Have you noticed that in all that time I have never mentioned or revealed the joining colour?  well I thought we could have a bit of fun, and so as a thank you to you all I am giving a little prize away to each one of you who can guess the colour I have used for that final round to join up my blanket.

To enter

• You must be a follower of my blog.
• You must guess the precise colour.
• Everyone is entitled to one guess.
• For two guesses mention this give-away in a post.
• For three guesses mention the give-away in a post and put the button in your sidebar.

So what happens if nobody guesses  the colour? I will put all your names in a suitable receptacle and draw out a winner, so good luck !

I will reveal both the blanket and the winner on April 28th, so have fun and spread the word. :)

April Challenge, your February Favourite's and a new Party

Happy April everybody I can't believe how quickly these months go by... a quarter of the year has gone already! 

The March link up is full of your beautiful makes, I think you are all doing so well with the stash-busting.

So did you accept my March Challenge did anyone manage to bust 100 grams of their least favourite yarn? If you did I would love to see the yarn and what you made with it, if you didn't then don't worry because I'm challenging you again in April, go for it! I can't tell you what a kick it gives you to use up that yarn that's been lying around for ages gathering dust.
I was feeling pretty smug because I met my challenge here BUT I have lots of yarn I don't really love so I'm continuing the challenge I will be showing you the yarn I'm using later but first...

Your February favourites!

There were so many beautiful projects in February  but these were the one's you loved the most

Julia's Granny Owl Cushion

Shari's Blanket

Marianna's Baby Cardigan Jacket

Well done ladies!

Are you counting? if you are then please leave me the total number of grams you busted this month either in a comment here or in the stash totals section and thank you to those who have done so already.

My total bust for this month 1299 grams

April Challenge

This yarn was also donated to me and I know the colours are pretty but the texture is not, however I refuse to be defeated, this yarn will be well and truly busted before the end of the month, I can see another scarf coming on. :)
