Six days later and I'm making a good start...

Here is a pic of how far I have gotten with the crocheting... it measures 36 inches wide and 18 inches high... I've got enough wool left to do 2 more rows and that will be the first 6 balls used.... I have 12 more balls left and I've decided to make the blanket 6 feet square so I have calculated that I will need another 18 balls to complete it... I've already ordered 3 more balls of Amber as this has now been discontinued! I reckon that if I can get 3 balls of wool every so often over the next 3 months then I will be fine to complete it when I can. 










Any of you sharp-eyed people out there will notice something different from the original design that I laid out to take a pic of previously.... Well, I had 15 balls of wool (3 balls of each colour) then I decided to add cream to it, I think it looks better than the original design too.
















Updated as of 11am 7/72013 - Just ordered 3 balls of Banana :D
Ordered 3 balls of cream (Sirdar calico - muslin) arrived 12/7/2013
