Well, today I believe I have made it upto the 51st row, so that should be around 7752 stitches! It measures 21” now, about 1/3 the way up. I swear I did this most of the day, but there was 90 minutes off when my Dad rang, and then dog interruptions, various other things, so, […]

So, I havent finished sewing the ends, but I started – however, I only started this friday! If I hadnt gone to class yesterday I probably would have finished the sewing of ends. Its not a great picture, but its OK. Its 33” by 25”

Well, its finished. Its 34” square, its not a great picture but To me, the “back” is actually nicer than the front, its pretty warm though so it will be good in winter. The person I was going to give it to, doesnt want it, and not because they dont like it – they didnt […]

Well, a quick update, its now 24″ square, so double the size it was, it chews through wool pretty quick, but it does make a nice thick blanket. I am however, beginning to dislike it, I wouldnt want one of my own. However, for someone else? Sure, if I do do another, I might try […]

Firstly, do read that correctly unlike me who read it as Bovarian (as in cow) So, its not an easy to see picture, but, for scale, this is 12” square. The astute amongst you will see that its in short a catherine wheel stitch but joined with back posts – its fairly easy, I have […]

So, in essence the blanket is finished – bar sewing a few ends in. Frustratingly sewing ends is more complex with this stitch but, it will give me something to do I guess.

So, the new blankets going OK, its now 19”x34” (its 34” wide) and you know what? IM STUPID! I checked I had plenty of wool when I started but what I was too stupid to notice was that the baby pink I picked up turns out to be the 1 and only 3/4 ball of […]

I started a new blanket, the tiny squares are around 1.5cm each. Its a nice and easy stitch to work with – but I actually am not sure who im going to give this to once Im done. There is someone I would like to give it to, but, I fear that it would cause […]

So, working on the next round of granny squares for my swirl. You know what? I flippin hate granny squares. I am so not enjoying this.Whats worse is I know deep down I should have made the squares smaller which almost certainly would have meant I would have hated it even more. I need to […]
