I'm looking forward to trying this as I wanted an interesting blanket to knit rather than crochet. Do you recommend getting the wool on the internet - never seen sheep(ish)?

For the ladies needing a crochet pattern, this is called broomstick lace. I made several blankets in the '70's using this stitch, it should be easy to find the crochet version. It is quick and easy!
