Hiya from a.,
Winter seems to have settled in here, and I actually managed to finish a couple of blankets. Blankets and I have a weird relationship. It usually takes three, or even four, iterations before I am pleased with how a blanket is turning out (plus it turns out that if you are following a pattern, maybe you do want to in fact check the gauge). The first I have to show you, though, actually was the first look for this particular yarn. It is a small lap blanket for r. for when he is sitting on the cube and playing video games:
It's a v stitch which made it fairly soft and moveable, it is an irregular/regular stripe. It works well for keeping legs warm when sitting somewhere other than the couch. Now though, I will show you the more common use for this blanket:
This other blanket I have to show you makes me really happy. I have tried in the past to make a blanket that is one giant granny square but I have never had enough yarn. I finally though had collected enough Caron simply soft to pull this off. I also had always tried to use a K hook, but found my N hook, which made it work up much faster. I was able to get the granny square blanket made during the watching of all the Harry Potter movies:
It's great because I am usually the person sitting in this chair and I can completely curl up underneath and be all cozy.
That's all, enjoy.
Your granny square blanket turned out great! I love the colors along with the chair. Really pretty. I made a blanket like that, but I just used whatever yarn I found, and it was so crazy, looked like clown vomit. Yours is much nicer!
