The final row is finished of the Fandango mat. It now measures 16" by 13" and consists of 30 squares (6 x 5).
Now for the facts! I have 22 yards left of the ball which was enough for another one and a bit motifs as each one required thirteen and a half yards.
There were 414 yards (approximately) on the full ball of Cebelia and each motif required 8½ yards on shuttle 1 and 5 on shuttle 2. That means 13½ yards for each motif.
Phewwwww. The photo doesn't do it justice really as it looks as if it's on a slope. I think that's because I had to stand over it to take it!! In 'real life' it looks pretty cool so that's fine. Now it'll go in the box for my kids to probably consign to the bin when I'm out of the way!!!
I now have to find another 'take with me' project to do. That's going to be a strain on the brain!!!
Cebelia' s good valuei isn't it? - a lot of thread for the price. I think you'll miss having your mat to spend time with,I have recently finished a consuming knitting project and now can't think of a single new pattern I am drawn to.
