This beautiful blanket has been made by my dear friend and tester, Sabi Bulla. I LOVE IT! Skies light is a gorgeous yarn to work with, and it has a beautiful, subtle stonewashed look. Sabi is one of the admins in the Facebook Group and you will soon learn that she has a great sense of humour and a wonderful way with words.
In this version, Sabi has chosen to use a Main Colour (A) and two blues as Contrasting Colours. Most of the flowers are made with Colour B, and Colour C is used as an accent (and for the leaves of the Roses). You can achieve a similar look in any colour by substituting Colours B and C for a light and dark version of the same colour.
