Today I feel a bit deflated! I've been beavering away trying to get E's blanket finished so I can start something new, and I think I've got a bit carried away with myself...

This is when I wish I hadn't caved into my controlling side and done a repeating pattern... If I hadn't then it wouldn't matter when I had to stop, but I had my eyes on 2 more colours (Dark Grey & Raspberry) to complete off the blanket. Now I think if I do that its going to look more like a table runner than a blanket... So the question is to:
1. Frog it back to the last row of raspberry, when it'll be a bit too short and squat but will conform to my colour scheme.
2. Add the 2 more colours and hope it doesn't look ridiculous when its got the edge on.
3. Leave it as it is, but always have the niggle that I ended mid colour sequence.
I wanted it to measure 70cm by 90cm, the average sized pram blanket. Its currently 70cm by approx 97cm which is why it just looks poopy. :-(
Any advice much appreciated, I think I'm going to go and sulk in a corner until someone comes up with a faboulous way to fix my problem.
Humf.
I think that it looks amazing. Add in the extra two layers and add a thinnish border or rip it back and put on a thicker border. Those are my suggestions anyway. Stop beating yourself up. There is no right and wrong otherwise what is the point in making things by hand?
ReplyDeleteThank you! I have a tendency to beat myself up over stuff in general, but this is an important blanket for me so I want it to be right! You've cheered my up, thanks :-) All may not be lost.
Deletep.s - for some reason spelt tendency as dedency in the last comment and I hate typos so deleted it! Wish you could edit comments!
