Tomatos, sunburn & granny squares

Yesterday The Artist and I went toisntthe fusion event in sunny tunny (Tunbridge Wells). We went with our friends who are currently expecting their first delivery from the stork. The day started off ridiculously gloomy, but then made a miraculous recovery and became full on hot. Due to the early gloom I failed to slap on the factor 30 or any factor if I'm honest! I now have amazing sunburn :( I was told that a beef tomato would help - I'm not convinced. Apart from staining my flannel pink when washing the goo off I'm yet to work out any other benefit.

I've started to make granny squares for a blanket. When I first started making them I loved the shade of pink I was using, now it makes me think of blamanche - I've got 8 balls of the blooming shade!
I've made 4 squares so far and have another 58 to go! 

I'm using this sweet pattern for my pink blamanche blanket. The warm weather really isnt inspiring me to make snuggly things I have to be honest, but I'm on a tight deadline to get it finished.

  1. The squares are looking really nice - blancmange is good!
    Hope the sunburn feels better soon.
