I made this blanket too. In the original very bright colour-scheme. It looked like one of those typically painted Indian buses had crashed on the sofa, so I made a second one in similar colours but pastels so it's a bit softer on the eyes. Then I found a bag in a thrift store with the most lovely five 100 gram skeins of 2mm Durable brand cotton yarn and decided to make a third one, in a beautiful dusty pink tone. I did some research on those skeins and it turns out those were taken out of production somewhere in the 80s. One of those skeins was attached to a small project that - obviously - never got finished. It's not the kind of yarn a beginner would buy, so I suspect it was from an old lady who no longer was able to finish her project. So.. yeah, I love making Sophie's Universe too.
That's fantastic! It really is one of the most things I've ever made. I used my own colours and worked it out as I went. That's part of the fun, but if you get one of our yarn kits then we can provide you with the colours I used too.

So beautiful great job Deb
Great job Deb! It is truly wonderful results.
Gorgeous!
Thank you! 😊
Bellissimi i colori.. Quali ha adoperato! Grazie
Beautiful work Deb! Would it be possible to create a Skein Sister's group or class to make this and other projects like this?
That's an interesting idea, and great to know you'd be keen. Leave it with us, might be something for next year. Deb
Beautiful
Thank you
Your blanket looks beautiful. I’ve bought this book to try and make this blanket. Did you use recommended colours or did you choose your own?
