Hello. I know it’s been a while since I’ve posted anything. It’s that time of year when everybody’s allergies are on overdrive, which for me and my “complex and narrow” sinus passageways (doctor’s words, not mine) means back-to-back sinus and ear infections. Kind of knocks a person out. Anyway, I figured I would at least give you a peek at one of my works-in-progress.
I am knitting this throw blanket in a classic seed stitch pattern. Since I’m using a worsted weight 100% cotton yarn but using chunky size 11 needles, I wanted to use a simple pattern that would highlight the texture of the yarn. This will be a warm, yet lightweight throw when it is complete.
I’ve never seen the sunset over the desert in person (only in photographs), but that is what I had in mind when I chose these yarns for the bottom band. I still have quite a ways to go with this blanket and have a few ideas in mind for how the rest of it will be finished. Stay tuned…
Love the colours! I made a seed stitch blanket too…can’t wait to see yours when it’s complete! =)
Thanks! It doesn’t matter how many fancy knitting patterns I write – there is still something I love about the texture of a simple seed stitch with the right yarns.
I’m sure your friend really appreciate the hard work you put into the blanket you made for her baby.
It’s such a nice gift.
Can’t wait to see it!
