This blanket pack is from the fabulous blogger – Dedri at Lookatwhatimade.net It includes the yarn required to make Dedri's Jeanette at Sunset Blanket, plus printed instructions and links to helpful tips and more on her blog.

Dedri's inspiration for the banket:

"Aunty Jeanette is a very dear friend of mine.  When I was sixteen, her son (my boyfriend at the time) and I went on a Prickly-Pear-Picking mission.  It was an insanely hot Karoo day, so on the way back (driving in his 1972 Merc with a bucket of prickly pears resting between my feet), I decided to turn down my window.  When we got back to his house, I realised that I was completely covered in prickly pear thorns…like head-to-toe covered!  The three of us spent the remainder of the afternoon tweezing them all out.

"When I was working on the design for this square, the colours and shape of my prototype reminded me of that sweltering laughter-filled day, so I decided to indulge in whimsy and call it Jeanette."
