Hiya from a.,
So I finished another small/lap blanket. Where we are living these days I can get a solid selection (at a decent price) of James Brett Marble - both the dk and chunky weight. I figured that this yarn would work great for a blanket with all the shifting colours that it has. I went for a high contrast, bright, cheerful look, with just expanding circles:
It's main resting place is the back of our new recliner, but here it is all stretched out:
You can really see the different shades in the orange, the blue is the subtler of the two. As ever when you work a one piece blanket that grows each round it starts so quick and the last few rows just kill you. You start with 8 stitches in the round and end with over 450 around (I didn't really count, it would have made me too sad).
Here you can see the blanket serving one of its practical purposes. We have it on the back of the chair just in case in the recline position the chair has moved it protects the chair from the wall:
Finally here is the image that we woke up to this morning:
Our overlord nicely nested amidst various blankets I've made. This cat suffers so.
Take care.
:D Love the oranges, love the stripes. Did your place come with the Amanda-colored wall, or was painting it your first order of business?
