I won't be boring you with crochet blanketings today except to say UGH this is why one should not do a long series of tiny stripes of colour...
So many ends to run in, and so much scrap afterward. Thankfully, [my red-eared monster] Gwen's diet of choice is yarn scraps. The pile was bigger before she started eating them.
Moving on: I've been cleaning up my yarn stash while hunting for something the right colour for a friend's gift, which I am not knitting fast enough for Christmas because BLANKET!, and found this handspun yarn I made, probably from Twisted Fiber Art fleece, lo these many years ago.
Like, I made it and washed it and never caked it, or even thought of a project for it! Must remedy that.
I especially admire this green and brown one but the blue and brown yarn looks like it kinda works with the aforementioned Christmas knit, right? Assuming I can come up with an idea that embraces the extreme wonkiness of the ever-changing weight because I was not a good spinner when I did this apparently.
Not sure this background shows it at its best...
Maybe it's too close without being right? Or if it only needs to be a coordinating piece...
I'll have to think it over. While doing this!
bwa ha ha ha ha you knew I wasn't going to leave without a progress report, right? This blanket is 18.5 inches along now, which is about the halfway point. I'm still (hopefully) in a position to finish in time to curl up under it on Boxing Day. Even if I'm only curled up under it to do the edging, ahem.
Hope you have a lovely weekend lined up? I've been baking, here, so whatever else happens the house smells marvellous, and I have cute new festive tea mugs to drink out of, yum.
See you next Saturday, and thanks again for dropping by!
