I've finished the blanket.
No idea what I'm going to do with it but it'll have to go out of the house sometime. One of my neighbours has a son who works in a care home so I'm hoping he can take it there to be used. It's a large lap blanket size.
Guess what? I've started another!!! I must admit to enjoying doing this pattern very much. This is the link to the knitting squirrel where I got it from.
I've had to start another as I've still got loads of yarn left!!! That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!!!
I really need to press/block this sometime but I did put on a crochet border and since then I've not been in the right frame of mind to get the ironing board out!!! Also I need to ask Mr Google the best way to make this look a lot neater!!
It's going to brighten someone's day, as well as keep their knees warm!
ReplyDeleteIt's a good size for a lap blanket. If you wash it, roll it in a towel, and then pin it out to the right size and leave it to dry,it will look neater.
ReplyDeleteYou could always try putting a much wider border around it, but that would take a lot of time , not to speak of using up your wool stash. And then there might not be enough left for a second rug!
Thanks for that tip, Maureen. I'm going to do that. I got bored doing that small edging so not about to make it any wider also because, as you said, I want enough left to do the other blanket!!!
ReplyDeleteVery colorful! I admit, I pulled out my instructions for that technique when I saw that you were working on a blanket. That's as far as I got, though.
ReplyDeleteVery nice!! :) I am sure it will be greatly appreciated!!
