Thanks for all of the kind comments on my new blanket. A couple of people asked what yarns and colours I'm using, so here's a sample...
Because I wanted very specific colours I'm mixing 3 different yarns - Rowan Wool Cotton (50% merino, 50% cotton), Rowan Belle Organic (50% organic merino, 50% organic cotton) and Rowan Classic Cashsoft DK (57% extra fine merino, 33% microfibre, 10% cashmere). Despite having slightly different finishes and thicknesses they all seem to be working well together so far.
I'm using the celandon as the main background colour and random selections of the other colours in the granny squares - I'll post some more pictures when it's a bit bigger!
