I wasn’t particularly happy with that one so decided I’d make another. Well first of all I weighed the first blanket and then my remaining stash to find that I’ve got more than enough for another blanket!!! I think I showed you the start of this second one but haven’t bored you with too many posts!!! Here it is finished and ready to go to whoever wants it. I’m hoping one of our local care homes would like it but will wait until I’ve done the second one.
The original pattern is all garter stitch but this time I’m going to do it in stocking stitch. I need to practice that as since I’ve taught myself continental knitting I’ve not done a lot of purl. I do like a little stress in my life!!!
Love your blanket! Yes, good to stretch yourself a bit. I'm enjoying doing mitred squares, though only a pair of socks, not a whole blanket.
ReplyDeleteLooks good! I like the way you've interspersed multi-colored squares, and the red border is perfect!
ReplyDeleteNice! :)
