A Knitted Blanket
It's going to take a while, but there's progress. 7 squares - another 21 to go. Hopefully this will get done before the weather gets too hot to knit! Muted colours that would make it a manly enough blanket for a teenage boy. I started knitting on the horizontal but discovered that it's much easier making squares when you knit on the diagonal. A crochet granny square one just to break up the monotony.
The blanket should look good when you finish it Lilian. The colours go well together.
ReplyDeleteI have been busy knitting too...and I need to finish of some crocheting that I started and never finished. I was going to make a blanket out of small granny squares but have decided to make them into cushions instead.
Happy knitting :)
Happy knitting/crocheting too Tania! I made a blanket of granny squares - I find them easier because they are smaller and easier to finish when you have a spare 1/2hr here and there. This one is a lot harder because the squares are bigger (30cm) so it just seems a lot longer to knit one square. At least there's only 28 to knit. With the granny square blanket I think I had to knit over a 100...
