I am back with another baby blanket using the same pattern that I posted on June 28th.
I used a lighter yarn (DK) this time and cast on 144 stitches. I have a bunch of single skeins from my ebay foray that is so squishy soft. I had been using it for dolls but with a whole bin full I felt that I could safely borrow some for another use.
The colours are a bit of a mishmash as you can see. There is something about these colours, great for toys but a blanket, I am not so sure. Anyway, it is done and although not blocked, looking pretty good even if it is a little bright. So bright that the colour is too concentrated to take a good photo. You need your shades for this one!
I have so much of this yarn that I have started another in a new pattern and not quite so eye popping, for my tv knitting. I have made inroads; the bin is done by about a third, woohoo!
I am still on a yarn fast. I am determined to work out of stash until it is at least half gone. Wish me luck and a long life!!!
Thanks for reading and have a lovely week filled with kind thoughts and deeds.
It’s beautiful! I love the bright colours!
I love it! I’ve never understood why babies only have wishy washy pastel colours to choose from – brights all the way for me!
