I have enough of the grey to use instead of beige, I now need to decide on what colour lace to put with it to make up the weight needed

Think I have finally got a starting point but won’t know for definite until I have done the swatches I suppose. Feel free to tell me if any of you think I’m barking up the wrong leg

@Hayley Tollervey and me and the coral has ended up prettier than I thought it would be

@Wendy Biccler I quite agree with the handmade being unappreciated almost like people think it should be cheaper which is just bizarre. I also take my sweet time about doing my projects, I can get a bit hyper focused from time to time and that soon makes quick work but I also have a tendency to be nitpicky and end up taking it back to the beginning and starting over.

Why projects stall and what actually helps
I have been thinking about how often knitting and crochet projects stall and how much quiet guilt we attach to that. A project gets put down for a day.Then a week.Then it lives in a bag while we tell ourselves we will come back to it soon. In my experience, projects do not stall because of skill or motivation. They usually stall because life changes, energy dips, or the project asks for more decisions than we have space for. A few things that genuinely help when something feels stuck. Try reducing the project to just five minutes of stitches. No finishing, no fixing, just five minutes. Change the context rather than the project. A different room, chair, or time of day can make a surprising difference. And ask one honest question. What do I need from this project right now. Enjoyment, learning, or something easy to hold. I am curious, when a project stalls for you, what usually helps you move forward or let it rest without guilt?

I have a giant unfinished chunky blanket in the corner of the sitting room that taunts me. 🫣

Colour group A (main)
Anyone else a bit nervous of using different yarns for A as the main colour in case it looks odd/messy? My head says keep main colour same all through then swap and change others...

And you definitely have enough to do each 20 ish row section in the same thread so that it is coherent and then you can tie it all together with D.
