Somewhere over the Rainbow (Part 2)

I promised an up-date of my rainbow blanket and here it is
I must say I am really enjoying make this blanket.
It is a project that you can just pick-up and put back down.
Meaning you don't have to think to much about what you are doing.
Once you get it right that is, because I had to start again when I first started because I forgot to do two stitches at the end of each row.
But once you get the hang of it it's very relaxing.


I took this photo Tuesday evening after I had finished my first block of colours.
I have used 23 colours all together.
I want to make 6 blocks for this blanket.
And I found The pattern again by the way.
I knew I'd seen it somewhere but I couldn't find it anywhere, so I just started making it.
That is why I made the mistake of not doing two stitches at the end of the row of course.
The pattern is here

I will have enough yarn to finish it.
The only colour that might not make the 6 stripes that I need of each colour is this tangerine one.
So I'm hoping it will be enough.

And this is what it looks like now.
I am nearly finished with the second block now, so one third is nearly done, and then I'll do an edging of course.
