Yay! My first blanket is finished!! Heehee
Look at Mr Bean's blankety loveliness! He has been snuggled with it in his "Mini Man Chair" to watch Cbeebies for a few days now :-)
To be honest, I can't say I'm totally in love with it, the colour sequence looks lovely on someone elses blanket, but to be honest when I started making it I realised, as lovely as Attic24's colours are, they're just not "me". Anyhoo, more of that another day as I have plenty of ideas brewing...
On a side note: Any tips on how to work edges on a stripey blanket (in particular the first round)? I fudged the sides a bit by doing 2dc in one row and then 1dc in the next row so they didn't make the blanket go ruffly. Any tips would me much appreciated! (See what I mean in the pic?)Already pondering my next project as I've promised myself I MUST use up the remaining Lucy Pack before I buy "me" colours.
Toodly pip :-)
Your completed blanket is really lovely. Looks fab on Mini Man's chair :)
ReplyDeleteIn reference to your question about hook size, I always tend to favour the 3.5mm as it does (imo) produce a tighter/neater stitch. I do use a 4mm for some projects, specifically the granny patchwork I'm working on. Any bigger and everything feels so loose.
Looking forward to seeing your next project in 'you' colours ;)
