Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again.
Such a wonderful opening line from the book Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier.
My next big blanket project is called the Manderley Crochet Blanket Pattern after the estate in the book. The house is surrounded by giant rhododendron bushes and so the very floral look of this design fits the name well.

I haven't made it yet I'm doing , Nimue this one is next.
An enjoyable design to work on, the pattern is well written and easy to follow. Really pleased with my baby blanket using this design.
I made this when it was offered as a CAL. Loved that it was a read-along as well though I opted for an audiobook so I could do both at once.
As always, the pattern is very well written and easy to follow with loads of help available if needed.
My friend was delighted with the blanket when I gave it to her. I think I’ll probably make a baby blanket with the small and/or medium sized squares next time.
Thanks to Shelley, I'm back in love with crocheting again. I had lost the urge to pick up my hook and yarn for a while, partly due to not being able to find a pattern that inspired me with good instructions etc. to support me as an adventurous beginner. The Manderley blanket with it's beautiful design, well written instructions, pictures and You tube videos(that I could follow with ease ) brought me back to the joy of crochet again. I like that it gives you another option/tip of how to do the lbv stitch if it's doing your head-in. I persisted with the lbv and found that I got better at it as I progressed and sometimes used the hook end to bring up the loop so I could see it more easily. The addition of having UK terms included in the pattern and video is great too. I'm so glad I stumbled across Shelly's Instagram talking about her books, otherwise my hook would still be redundant. The only issue I've had is deciding which pattern to make.
Works up beautifully. I’m using Scheepjes Color crafter and some hand dyed yarn in certain rounds. Lovely simple stitches that make the pattern intricate. I started with Rebecca as it’s the biggest and I know me haha. Shelley explains the pattern extremely well
