January in crochet

So today means I'm thirty-one days into my 2012 sky blanket and I've managed to catch up on weaving in some of the ends! I've decided that I really shouldn't leave it 'til the end like I normally do......can you imagine how many ends that would be?!

The year started off in Wales as we'd been visiting some friends and it was pretty gloomy when I took this picture in Monmouth. Isn't this landscape beautiful? I always love our visits to this part of the country.















There were quite a few days of brilliant blue sky at the beginning of January but the last few days have been a bit dreary and we're even being threatened with a bit of snow so I might even get to use a bit of white!




















The Stylecraft is working up really nicely and it's going to be a warm blanket when it's done. I'm really loving the cloudy and blue sky with cloud days at the moment as I'm enjoying the variegated yarn

So tomorrow's the beginning of February and I'm wondering whether or not to add a little line, flower, button or something to show the start of a new month. I might put in a little marker just in case I want to add something later. What do you think?
