I mentioned recently news about the Planet Penny Cotton which I sell via the Etsy Shop, it’s got a new look!
I’ve been deliberating for a long time about the colour range. I love it still, and didn’t want to change something which works so well, but from the feedback I’ve been getting it needed a slight tweak. The pack now consists of 12 colours. It looks more vibrant without the two pastel shades, and of course it’s now cheaper!
From the administrative point of view it solves a couple of niggles too, so I hope everyone is happy with it. (Anyone mid-project relying on purchasing a second 14 ball pack please contact me for help)
What helped me take the final step was seeing this gorgeous blanket made by Alison, one of my customers using the Planet Penny Cotton..
This what Alison said about her method of making the blanket:
“This was a Lucy ripple and I believe I did 196 stitches plus the extra 3.(or whatever was divisible by 3, I think I had a few more on the start chain and unpicked from the start when I had done my first row as I wanted). I have done three rows of each of the colours Apple, Lime, Buttercup, Marigold, Peach, RoseBud, Gerbera, Aubretia, Cornflower, Delphinium, Aqua and Jade. We have ended up with 4 sets of 12 colours, the finished blanket is about 96cm x 152cm. I have a small amount of each ball left, so a ball did six rows.”
As Alison said, it’s an Attic 24 Ripple pattern which you will find here and you can buy the yarn here.
If you would prefer to buy outside Etsy then you can purchase through Planet Penny Direct Sales here.
I hope that’s inspired you! It’s always nice to have a little Rainbow colour infusion…
I’m off into the sunshine now. I have grandsons visiting for a few days. They’ve been off to the North Norfolk coast today but I’ve promised them a spot of Granny style crafting when they come back so I shall have a few minutes rest in the garden before they get home.
See you soon…x
Thanks for showing my blanket Penny, it really is a pleasure working with your cotton. Enjoy the granny style crafting.
The colour of your yarn looks lovely. I have never crocheted with cotton. I love the ripple pattern.
Great colours! xx
Lovely strong colours and think you are right, removing the pastel colours makes those left stand out more. Hope you and your grandsons enjoyed the crafting. Hope you have a good week.
Morning Penny
Thanks for your supportive words on my post. Tweaking good decision. Hope you well. I thought of you when I saw the knitted pergola in the forum not sure if you’ve seen or maybe even been involved with it? Yes to meeting properly I must try to get arrangements right. Maybe even a grown up evening date with Gabriella? X

If you email me via the contact form with your address so I can calculate the postage I can send you a Paypal invoice to pay.
