A Birthdays ago I was given yarn money, so I went to "Calico and Ivy" and started a Debbie Bliss Cashmerino stash
This yarn is dreamy and I started a hexagon blanket
Unfortunately, when looking at the blanket at night in the low light, there was not enough colour variation, so I stopped. Unable to but the yarn away I fiddled a bit and made my friend a tea pot cosy for Christmas that year and one for myself.

Then made myself put the yarn away as it is for a blanket, not for luxurious decorations.
After some saving this stash was added to with more colourful balls of yarn
A lot better, but still not quite there as the thought of a whole King size bed in Ripples, Granny stripe or Granny squares, while loverly is not different or radical enough for me.
On Thursday yarn shopping happened again and a loverly lady at Calico and Ivy gave me the push I needed to add Lots of colours. After all more can be better for some projects.
While we chose colours I mentioned the desire to make a blanket, with a patchwork quilt feel, so Deborah mentioned having a look at a blog called Clothogancho. Well inspiration was found in http://clothogancho.canalblog.com/archives/2013/01/10/26113498.html
Sorry can not work out how to copy and paste picture, but have a look, it is a work of art.
Now just need to finish some works in progress, so that I can get started. I can not wait, I'm so excited.
Bye for now
