*WARNING* lots of photos
I completely forgot to post the pics of my latest Granny Blanket. I kind of lost interest half way through as it took f.o.r.e.v.e.r. to work up since I used 4 ply wool and a 3.5 hook. I was then waiting to find out the sex of it's recipient, and then dithered about which type of edging to use. At one point I used the wrong shade of cream and had to frog about 5 hours worth of work - gah!
Anyway, here it is...
Up close the colours are lovely and are the same batch of yarns used for this blanket...
but somehow I think the mix of the turquoise, orange and lime green dominate and look brown at a distance. Better colour planning next time. Nevertheless, it is soft and snuggly and should be the right size for a cot or just for building a den! The edging is very simply, UK Tr's in cream and UK dc's in blue and green, a couple of rows of UK sc's, with a little picot to finish it off.
Come to think of it, I don't think the other blanket had a ta-daah so here are a few pics quickly...
If I remember correctly, I added cream shells all the way around.
I've also managed a few more scarves and cowls, all very simple UK Tr's for a long/wide as you require. Obviously we won't be needing them here for a while....!
I think my mirror needs a clean...
